The fact that it combines a number of types of logic – binary, multifactor, process logic – , and outspokenly deals with evolution over time, makes the analysis rich and the tool a dynamic rather than static one. I was intrigued by this new approach, and put it to the test immediately.
In this process, I discovered the quality of the support and supervision process, which is fast, efficient, tailormade, and of exceptional quality. My regard of coachees and their patterns and behaviour modes has sharpened and deepened at the same time.
Over the years, I have never seen a candidate walk away from DoLquest feedback with an impression of « I am (not) good enough », as invariably happened with the usual assessment tools and the 360° feedback tools I faced when working for corporate clients.
My clients are profoundly greatful for the light shed into their modes of functioning and for explanations for their behaviour in certains sitiations and faced with certain people where before the DoLquest they felt not up to standards, or vaguely torn between conflicting needs. They found it very helpful and very reassuring to know themselves better from a variety of perspectives, and to know their reliable sources of energy and what they may well be used to but actually consumes their energy. This is very different from the traditional « I can do xyz well / not well » approaches.
Clients have felt understood, empowered, motivated to make their own choices on an informed basis.
Some of the comments that struck me in my coaching work with DoLquest included:
« I have an inventory of my strengths, my competencies, and the way I need to function. DoLquest has helped me to act and decide more in sync with my own personality and to have the courage to make professional choices that correspond to my own nature and passion, but run counter the advice my bosses and my family tried to impose. »
« I have finally understood why my family reproaches with not caring, when I know that I care. I am now aware of our different personalities, and . rather than arguing, I am finding ways to handle. »
« Considering and discussing my DoLquest profile has helped me connect to what I felt was inside me but had not ackowledged because norms in my organisation have no space for this. I am now making my own choices and start to dare considering a move into a different proessional field, more in sync with who I am. »
« I use the insight from the DoLquest report to be patient and trustful with myself in my complex decision making processes. I now know what I need to come to a decision. In working with my clients and my team, I use the DoLquest entrance doors model to adapt my inputs and presentations to where I see that their focus is. It has made me a far more people and account manager »
I look forward to deepening my insight into this rich tool and to seeing more and more of the professional and personal flourishing that I have witnessed DoLquest feedback support so beautifully.
