Gallup and ICF-certified executive coach Angelique Arnao joins Coach Karol Figueroa to break down why workplace assessments often feel frustrating and how to actually use them for real leadership growth.

Karol and Angelique unpack why many employees see assessments as “pass or fail,” and what they’re truly designed to reveal. They compare the most popular tools—CliftonStrengths, Hogan, MBTI, and DiSC—and explain how to combine them to better understand your personality, communication style, and leadership approach. They also explore whether personality can change over time, how trauma can impact results, and why you can’t develop what you don’t truly understand.

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at “another assessment,” this episode will help you use these tools strategically for deeper self-awareness and stronger leadership.
