VITALS FOR WORKFORCE & EDUCATION

Career support for the whole person.

VITALS brings personality, life context, and practical guidance together. Helping people understand what shapes them, explore realistic possibilities, and move forward with greater clarity.

More than an assessment

People need more than a report telling them who they are.

Traditional assessments end with a list of traits, some suggested occupations, and a static report. Chatbots offer answers, but rarely begin with a meaningful understanding of the individual. VITALS bridges the gap between insight and the context of real lives.

Static reports

You receive information once with little help interpreting or applying it as your circumstances change.

Generic recommendations

Suggestions can overlook the person's priorities, responsibilities, resources, and real-world constraints.

Disconnected tools

Assessments, resources, and support often exist in silos rather than forming one connected human experience.

First-Session Brief

Go beyond just a report

Before you meet, turn your participants  shared VITALS profile into a practical briefing. Understand the patterns worth exploring, consider how to approach the conversation, and arrive with questions tailored to the person.

Read it before you meet. Print it to bring into the session.

  1. 01

    The patterns to listen for

    A concise snapshot of the client’s defining patterns, with notes on how they may show up in a coaching conversation.

  2. 02

    The nuances behind the result

    Where supported by the profile, the brief highlights aspects of the same trait that pull in different directions, details an overall result can obscure.

  3. 03

    A more considered approach

    Guidance on what may resonate, what may create resistance, and how to approach challenge and feedback.

  4. 04

    Questions with a purpose

    Five or six opening questions grounded in the client’s profile. Each includes what the answer could help you understand, inviting the client to connect the patterns to their own experience.

Built from the profile your client has chosen to share. The brief offers starting points to explore, rather than conclusions about the client.

Beyond the First Session

Give clients something they can keep working with.

A report is a static starting point. VITALS gives your clients tools to keep reflecting, exploring, and taking action between sessions, with your guidance connected to the experience.

Together in your sessions

  • A shared foundation for your work

    With the client’s permission, view their personality insights to prepare for conversations, explore patterns together and adapt your approach.

Your expertise guides the relationship. VITALS helps clients carry the work forward.

Profile access does not include their private Ask VITALS conversations.

Between sessions

  • Private space to explore

    Clients can use Ask VITALS to reflect on decisions, relationships and everyday challenges. Their messages stay private, giving them room to think things through and choose what to bring into your sessions.

  • Your recommendations, within reach

    Introduce recommended resources into the client’s resource section. Give them a place to return to the reading, exercises and tools you suggest.

  • Action items that stay visible

    Leave agreed next steps in the platform, where they appear on the client’s home screen. Help the work from a session carry into everyday life.

  • Tools they can return to

    Beyond their personality insights, clients can explore Ask VITALS, Profile Comparisons and relevant lenses as new questions arise. The value continues as their circumstances and priorities change.
