Are personality assessments actually helping your coaching clients or just giving them labels?

Annalisa Corti is a behaviour mapping specialist helping coaches, consultants, and team leaders gain maximum clarity on their clients so they can deliver better results.

In this episode, you'll learn why personality tests like DISC, Myers-Briggs, and Human Design fall short and how behaviour mapping creates the transformation personality assessments promise but rarely deliver.

In this episode, you'll learn:
→ Why personality assessment tools for coaches create better client outcomes
→ How behaviour mapping differs from DISC, Myers-Briggs, and Human Design
→ When to focus on behaviour mechanics instead of inner work
→ How to help clients get unstuck by addressing what they actually do, not just what they think
→ The 30-day practice that transforms fear into confidence

Behaviour mapping isn't about replacing other tools; it's about understanding how your clients actually show up, not how they think they show up.

If you've been relying on blueprints and personality tests alone, this conversation will show you what you've been missing.
