Peter is a skilled and insightful Birkman Consultant. I found his insights emerge from valuable hands-on experience and are rather transformational. I had my doubts before taking the Birkman assessment test as I assumed it is similar to the Gallup’s and 360° Performance assessments that I had previously taken during my former employments. However, after Peter’s professional consultation, I discovered Birkman is exceptionally accurate that can help me achieve greater success in the workplace through insight into my occupational orientations, motivational interests, perspectives and leadership approaches. It measured how I behave in usual and stressful circumstances, and it also examined why I behave that way. The Method improves my cognitive awareness to help understand the relationships between colleagues and people around me.

The Birkman questionnaire was phenomenal! At first I was really confused with the questions asked, but during the review it all made sense. I learnt so much about what makes me tick, what situations work and don’t work for me, and what I need to do to the best version of myself. Now, when I catch myself thinking a certain way, I not only have so many “aha!” moments, but even know what I can do to improve my thoughts and mood. Peter was an amazing consultant! He was extremely patient, tactful and navigated our review session very well. I wouldn’t have done it with anyone else! I highly recommend the Birkman signature report & follow up consultation with Peter for anyone looking to learn more about themselves, choose a new career, know where to live, and if a person is the right partner for them.

Having spent many years working with people from many different cultures in a way I thought was successful, I was not convinced I would benefit a lot from the Birkman Method. However, I was proven quite wrong… I have benefited in many, many ways, some of which I have tried to capsulize below: • I am uncomfortably enlightened by understanding how others see me • I am much more aware of how I impact others, for better or for worse • I can understand why stress can trigger certain negative reactions in me • I am now able to implement alternate, “user friendly” reactions when I am in stress • I can comprehend much more clearly how other personality types react to me, and I to them • I am now able to harness my own unique strengths for a more productive outcome • I can understand more clearly what I need from relationships with others If you are considering taking the Birkman Method, I would strongly recommend doing so. The voyage of self-discovery is an ongoing work in progress, one that Birkman makes unnervingly accurate. I am now equipped to more productively use my unique personality, thanks to Birkman.

When I first heard about this test that could tell me more about myself than I knew and help me improve my life at home and at work, I was very interested, but didn't believe it. I figured the test results in the description could be so general/vague that anyone could fit the description. I decided to take a chance. I was not disappointed and even surprised by the accuracy of the results. This test showed my faults and the struggles which I was not able to explain or articulate before the test. The results help me to understand my habits and struggles in a full perspective. For example, how I view of myself and how people around me think of my personality. It tells why there are options that I tend to make, what are the subtle actions from others making me feel comfortable. By this I feel we can better understand what effort should make toward the good relationship. I think the test is much more valuable compares to a big diamond that you have someone you love, and he has the right way to make you feel comfortable in a relationship. Each one of us is unique in this world, Hence, for very relationship to work there also should be unique way, but Birkman can help you find that unique way

Thanks so much for this Birkman assessment. I am very grateful. It is very hard sometimes to see clearly through our behavior and understand the reasons why we act and react the way we do. But thanks to Birkman I gained so much insight into the motivations behind my reactions, my drives, my stress reactions, my needs, into who I really am behind what I give people to see. It is so beneficial for our relationships to understand how we function, and to understand that we all function differently and it’s fine! I was particularly amazed to realize the gap that could exist between our usual behavior, what we have learnt to be, and our actual needs that can be so different indeed! That really explains a lot about the contradiction I often felt inside! Now I know how to balance better and address my needs so as to avoid putting myself in stress reaction mode. I found particularly useful to know about my social and emotional energy. I think that it is excellent to do it as a couple, in order to understand how to meet our mate s needs better. Thank you again for helping me see through myself!

This evaluation is truly helpful. It helped me understand that I have paradoxes between need and usual behaviors. Thus by increasing my self-awareness I am better able to keep myself in check when intense emotions overcome me. My communication style has seen improvements too.

It is nowadays very popular in companies all over the word to give candidates personality assessments. I have done them for several times but never realized how helpful and interesting it can be until I got my detailed personal report of Birkman and the introduction of its different aspects. Birkman assessment facilitates me to understand myself better and more systemically. Moreover, I am aware of the reasons for my anxiety and preferences in both work and personal life, especially after the one on one follow up review with Peter. During the workshop activities, we managed to know better about the individuals we are working with and the personality construction of our team. It would definitely help us to figure out the best way of working together, avoid unnecessary conflicts and promote efficiency.

Birkman Validated Me I have had low self-esteem for as long as I can remember. I knew I had strengths but I didn’t fully know what they were or how to make the most of them. I knew I had negative reactions but I didn’t know why, when they would affect my life the most nor how to ‘put them to bed’, as quickly as possible. I knew certain behaviours in other people made me happy or angry and while I accepted everyone is unique, I didn’t know how to appreciate and acknowledge that fact without somehow detracting from who I was, nor who they were. The Birkman Method and my ongoing coaching sessions have changed all that. I now know why I react a certain way to people and circumstances. I know how to make the most of myself, no matter what environment I’m in. I know why and how I affect those close to me, whether in a negative way or a positive way. I have the knowledge to enhance my strengths and control my negative reactions more. It’s up to me how much I use this knowledge but at least I now know, I AM ME. If only I had known all this 40 years ago.

How I interact with people, how their actions and speech affect me has changed forever. A whole world of understanding was opened to me. Now not only do I understand who I am but I see people so differently. Relationships are so much easier since I applied what I learned. Maybe not all will want to know so much about themselves and others but if enjoying a better life is for you I can highly recommend taking this assessment. It's amazingly accurate!

我真的非常喜欢Birkman！它让我对自己有更客观、更深入地认识！举个例说，我一直以为自己是个非常需要通过社交来获取活力的人，因为我总是看到自己的表面经常行为总是做社交，但我不明白为什么有时候我离开社交环境自己独处的时候，我却感觉非常舒服和放松，甚至还没离开社交活动，我已经累得半死，不想说话很想躲起来！ 当我看到Birkman关于我的社交活力方面的数据，我才真正明白，我被自己的表面经常行为欺骗了！其实我真正需要的是充足的独处才真的让我“充电”🔋，当我满足独处的需要后，我才能游刃有余地轻松社交～ 如果没有通过Birkman了解到真正的自己，可能我会一直误会自己，忽略自己的真正需要从而表现各种糟糕的压力行为！这不单止破坏了我的社交形象，也让我对自己感到不解、疑惑和自我怀疑，误以为自己是不是有什么问题！ 所以Birkman除了在这一个细节上帮助我深入了解自己外，也在其他各个方面帮助我更明白、认识自己，古话也说知己知彼，百战百胜，我越了解认识自己的特色，越知道怎样表现谦逊、量力而行，对自己要求平衡合理，也对自己表现通情达理，避免不少不必要的负面情绪和看法！也帮助我更知道怎样结合自己的特色保持最佳表现，不断进步！ 如果你也不太认识自己，或者总是因为自己的一些行为表现和内心感觉感到矛盾和困扰，我真的鼓励你们试试做Birkman吧！它会多少让你改变对自己和他人的看法，让你更自如地与不同性格特色的人相处，你也会感到更轻松自在！

I’m a firm believer in self improvement. Self improvement doesn’t change the core of who we are as some people will think, but it does change how we react to situations based on our perceptions, which in essence causes people to view us differently for better or worse. We can’t change the world around us, but we can influence it for the better by our example and improve how people react to us. I have trained hard to become more in control of my life. We become more in control of our lives by first becoming more self aware of what we do, and how we think, so we can control our reactions to situations. Imagine controlling our reaction to negative comments given to us by a manager and then reacting/responding in a way that causes your manager to feel heard and see your reaction in a way that makes them confident in your ability to give you your next promotion. When people feel understood and you feel you were able to express yourself, then everyone wins through communication. Good communication is essential for good progress. Birkman helped me to understand myself and in essence,others, to improve my communication. The quality of my work and life has greatly improved because of this. I offer a huge thanks to the Birkman organization, and Peter for being an excellent consultant to help make the information very applicable to my situation.
