FOR COACHES AND PRACTITIONERS
Start at session four.
Your client can take any of these themselves before you meet, currently free, in ten to fifteen minutes. You walk in with something to open on instead of an hour of introductions.
You'll set up an account first. It takes a minute, and it's how your report stays yours.
WHAT THE FIRST MONTH COSTS
Three sessions of finding out who they are.
Session one, they give you the version they give everyone. Session two, you get a little underneath it. Session three, something real finally comes out and you think, right, now we can start.
They paid for all three.
So did you. A good share of your hours every quarter goes to a conversation you have already had with every client you have ever had.
THE REAL PROBLEM
You build the picture from scratch every time.
You're good at it. That's exactly why nobody has ever suggested you shouldn't have to do it by hand, in the room, on the clock.
And the picture you build lives in your notes, in your words, from that day's mood. There's nothing the client can look at between sessions and think about on their own.
You already read people for a living. You just start from zero every January.
BEFORE SESSION ONE
Ask them to do one of these first.
Currently free, ten to fifteen minutes, and the client starts each one themselves. Each comes back as a document they can download and hand to whoever they choose.
Kirnova Calling60 questions · about 10 minutes
Six career types and the real jobs closest to how they answered, from a public database of more than 900 occupations. For the client who says "I don't know what else I'd even do."Kirnova ORVISabout 100 questions · about 15 minutes
Their eight work interests, in order. No score per interest, on purpose. For the client who has been circling the same decision for a year.Kirnova DISC48 questions · about 12 minutes
Reads them twice. How they are by default, and how they are when people are counting on them. The distance between those two is effort, and it is often the thing they came to you about and couldn't name.Kirnova HEXACO60 statements · about 10 minutes
Six sides of character, including honesty and humility. Every finer detail underneath is spoken to in words rather than more numbers.
If they've done two, they also get a reading of where the two agree and where they don't. A disagreement is named, not smoothed over. That's usually the most useful page you'll open together.
WORTH KNOWING
TIGER Light is the client's own thing.
Nobody can send anyone to Light. Not an employer, not us, not you. A person starts it themselves or they don't have it.
Some of your clients will arrive having already taken it. If they bring it, it's five readings of how they tend to work, in plain sentences they can say out loud. They read it on screen, so that's one they'd walk you through rather than hand over.
WHEN YOU NEED MORE
TIGER Core is the deeper read, and it's yours to ask for.
48 questions, about 15 minutes and often less. The person making the decision starts it, and with a client in front of you, that can be you.
Light is the client's own thing and you can never send them to it. Core works the other way round. Somebody with a real decision to make about a person commissions it, and a coach with a client is exactly that.
It reads the same five things Light does, a long way further down, because a decision needs more than a description.
Your client has to agree to sit it. That isn't a formality. It's the same reason they answer honestly.
It's paid, and it's set up by hand. Nobody outside Kirnova can start one today, so this one begins with an email.
THE PART THAT MATTERS MOST
It's theirs, and it stays theirs.
They take it. They keep it. It doesn't expire on them, ever.
If they want you to see it, they show you. If they don't, they don't, and you won't know either way. Nothing lands on your desk about a person who didn't choose to put it there.
That isn't a limitation we're apologising for. It's the relationship you already work in, and it's the reason a client will answer honestly in the first place.
THE LINE WE DON'T CROSS
It doesn't do your work.
It won't tell anybody who they are. It gives back how they tend to work, what they're drawn to, and what's worth a closer look.
There's no verdict on a person anywhere in it, and nothing that grades one. It's a first hour you get back, not a conclusion.
The conversation after it is the whole job, and that part is yours.
START HERE
Take one yourself first.
Fifteen minutes will tell you whether you'd put it in front of a client. That's a better test than anything we could write on this page.
You'll set up an account first. It takes a minute, and it's how your report stays yours.
