Assessments
DISC, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE & MOTIVATORS
Understand how people work—and strengthen how they work together.
Sarah Ciavarri helps leaders and teams use workplace assessments to build self-awareness, improve communication, navigate differences, and turn insight into practical action. Assessments can stand alone or be incorporated into coaching, team development, and leadership programs.
Insight matters most when people know what to do with it.
A SHARED LANGUAGE CHANGES THE CONVERSATION.
Teams often know when communication is strained, motivation is slipping, or people are approaching the same work from very different perspectives. What they may not have is a useful way to talk about it.
The right assessment makes patterns easier to see and differences easier to discuss. It creates a shared language without reducing people to labels—and gives leaders and teams a practical place to begin.
Give people a shared language for what they are already experiencing.
THREE WAYS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT’S HAPPENING
Choose the lens that fits the work.
DISC
How do we tend to communicate and respond?
DISC helps individuals and teams understand observable behavioral and communication patterns. It provides a practical language for adapting communication, navigating differences, reducing unnecessary friction, and working together more effectively.
Especially useful for: team development, communication, conflict navigation, leadership development, and onboarding.
MOTIVATORS
What drives our decisions, priorities, and energy?
Motivators explores the values and internal drivers behind behavior. It helps leaders and teams understand why the same goal, recognition, or environment can energize one person and leave another disengaged.
Especially useful for: engagement, career development, role alignment, team dynamics, and understanding what brings out someone’s best work.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
How do we understand and manage ourselves and our relationships?
Emotional Intelligence explores how people recognize and manage emotions in themselves and respond to the emotions of others. It gives leaders a framework for strengthening self-awareness, steadiness, empathy, communication, and relationships under pressure.
Especially useful for: leadership development, difficult conversations, resilience, influence, relationship management, and leading through change.
FROM INSIGHT TO ACTION
The report is the beginning—not the transformation.
An assessment can describe a pattern. The real value comes from understanding what that pattern means in the relationships, decisions, pressures, and work happening right now.
Sarah creates the space for people to explore their results with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, leaders and teams identify what is working, where patterns may be getting in the way, and what they want to practice differently.

She helps people understand their results without turning them into boxes or excuses. The goal is not to announce, “That’s just how I am.” The goal is to become more aware of how we affect one another—and more capable of choosing what the moment requires.
Sarah connects assessment insights to communication, trust, change, resilience, boundaries, emotional regulation, and the real work of leading people.
