AcuMax Index: Foundational Assessment
Effective leadership begins with deep self-awareness, which is why every engagement starts with a foundational AcuMax Index assessment. The assessment will help you understand your behavioral patterns and communication preferences.
As a hard-wiring assessment tool, it provides insight into the following areas:
- Your hard-wired communication style
- How we accept and navigate change, as well as pressure and stress
- How we accept ideas (or don’t)
- Tendencies for managing conflict
- Trust gaps and how to manage them

My self-confidence has grown and I feel a greater sense of overall inner balance. You have helped me find success in improving my conflict management and communication skills through identifying and stopping habits which were hurting me. You help me create beneficial strategies which serve me better and help me find success.
Stefania G., International Organization Official
Ellen’s coaching gave me direction and positive energy to help me which allowed me to help my team. One of my biggest insights was that I could put a strategy together that was based on my own hard-wired nature, how to do it differently, and the realization that I was my own worst enemy in that area this whole time.
