A structured mirror, not a personality test.
A structured coaching conversation for senior leaders who want to reflect on their decisions, working relationships and responses under pressure. Use the profile with a coach to explore your own context and priorities.
Built for the leader, not for HR.
The PMP supports reflection with a coach on decisions, relationships and pressure at work. It is not intended for hiring, promotion or clinical diagnosis.
Senior managers
Department heads, regional managers, function leads. The output addresses how you operate under load, where your strengths cast a shadow, and what coaching themes are worth raising in your next 1:1.
CEOs & executive leaders
The instrument's Self-Discrepancy layer (actual self vs ideal self) can surface themes to discuss in coaching, the gap between how you actually operate and how you'd ideally operate.
Founders & sole operators
The meta-cognitive layer is the one that matters most here. Noticing your own thought patterns in real time gives you something concrete to reflect on and discuss with a coach.
Anyone just promoted
The two highest-leverage moments for a leader to take this: just after a promotion, or in the 6-12 months before stepping up. The actual-vs-ideal gap data anchors the development conversation that should be happening anyway.
How to use the profile.
Three things to understand before choosing it:
1. No label. No "type."
You don't walk away with "you're an ENTJ" or "you're a Red." Instead you get a polarity profile, each dimension is shown as a position on a continuum, with both poles framed as legitimate strengths. You're not categorised; you're described.
2. The "ideal you" is measured too.
For each dimension, you rate yourself twice, once for how you actually operate, once for how you'd ideally operate. The difference can provide a starting point for coaching.
3. Response-style checks for discussion.
The PMP uses forced-choice items, response-style checks, consistency checks and behavioural memory anchors to support reflection. Differences between actual and ideal responses can guide discussion. These methods have not been validated as a way to detect dishonesty, predict performance or establish superiority over other instruments.
What's in the output.
The PMP produces a "Conversation Map", a single document designed to be brought to a coaching conversation, not read alone.
- Your operating signature, the three polarities you sit most firmly within
- The widest gap between how you actually operate and how you'd ideally operate
- One strength in its shadow, reframing your weakest emphasis as a flexibility
- The full 13-dimension PMP-Frontline polarity profile (nine universal, three frontline and one defence dimension)
- Three specific opening questions for the coach
Two pages. No labels. No clinical diagnosis. No judgement. Just patterns and questions, structured to make a coaching hour more useful than it would be without it.
Built by someone who has led under pressure.
The Coaching Nexus is run by Rob Gregory: twenty years in high-stakes operational work in specialist emergency management, fifteen years in AFL recruiting alongside it, and a Master of Science in Coaching Psychology.
For managers and senior leaders, that is the point. This is not corporate theory repackaged. It is a way of working built by someone who has assessed and led people under genuine pressure, then grounded it in applied performance science.
Pricing.
Two options. Both are confidential, your employer is not contacted, the report is yours.
