PACT and coaching

PACT measurement

Have you perhaps had an exploratory conversation, or a discussion regarding a vacancy with one of our consultants in the past three years? Chances are you were asked to complete a PACT measurement online beforehand! We developed this measurement in collaboration with HartKantoor, and it is specifically tailored for lawyers and compliance professionals, so we can discover together what truly energizes you. During the meeting at our office, our consultant will provide you with a summary of the results. If you are interested in a more detailed feedback and possibly related (career) coaching, we will refer you to a specialized ACT coach from HartKantoor. Below, Frederike van der Kooi would like to explain what understanding the difference between natural and learned behavior can personally offer you.

Career Coaching by HartKantoor

Do you recognize during your report discussion with the consultant that you are sometimes very good at certain tasks, but they don’t necessarily energize you? And do you already know that you can’t or don’t want to continue the same way for another five years? In short, do you want to better understand who you are and what truly motivates you? Then HartKantoor is the right place for you! Based on the comprehensive version of ACT, we can provide you with deep insights into your next logical step in personal and professional development. You can immediately have a conversation online or offline with one of our coaches (male/female), and within about 1.5 hours, you will receive a full feedback on your natural strength, your performance strength, and most importantly: your development potential. Fine words, but what do they mean for you?

1. Natural Strength

You discover the qualities that naturally fit you: things that come effortlessly and energize you! Even under pressure, when you might be tired or stressed, these qualities remain visible and tangible to both yourself and those around you. You don’t have to think about it; you just do it. In the conversations I have daily with driven professionals about their development, I notice that these are precisely the qualities that are often seen as ‘normal’ by them, precisely because they are so natural. Becoming aware of these can yield so much: energy, enjoyment, a desire to live and develop in this area!

You probably also recognize that you can be very good at something, but… does it really energize you? Are these the things you want to be involved with in 5 years? Or are there tasks that you continually postpone? These examples characterize performance strength: qualities that don’t naturally fit you but that you have learned over your life/career. These are qualities that require effort to utilize, and they give you less energy than those that are naturally yours. It’s important to recognize if you want to maintain a balance between work and enjoying life!

3. Development Potential

Last but not least: your development potential! These are qualities that naturally fit you well and can therefore be developed quickly and easily. The reason these qualities have not yet been developed could be because they were not encouraged at home or during your education/career. Or, as we often say, because ‘something is covering them up’: performance strength. You then expend energy on qualities that are less natural to you and from which you do not gain energy. This focus can overshadow your true potential and inhibit the development of your inherent strengths. It’s such a waste, isn’t it? That’s exactly what we think! That’s why we would love to have a conversation with you.
