Henry Neils Assessments.com MAPP “Motivational Appraisal of Personal Potential”

"MAPP is an integral part of my coaching practice, to the point where I can't imagine not using it. It accelerates the client's understanding of what makes him or her tick. After reviewing their MAPP they know why they do and don't do certain things. The reasons for past problems with jobs become clear. It also helps clients see where their greatest strengths are, so they can build on them, and what their blind spots are so they can deal with those, too. The information in MAPP jumpstarts the coaching process and allows my clients to take action with confidence.” Bill Paxton, President, Paxton Consulting Inc. Burnsville, MN
