Note: The exact deliverables and format may vary based on the certification type or your organizational needs. 

“PSC is a beloved 78-year-old institution in Northwest Florida.  Our student first philosophy and investment in professional development of employees ensures our institution continues as an exemplary institution of higher education. 

For the past several years the College has launched the President’s Leadership Institute for new employees.  Carol Carlan has provided her time and expertise for each of these cohorts of employees to take the TriMetrix Assessment which helps them understand their motivations, relationship interactions, self-awareness, and ways to improve upon their performance .  These tools have been valuable in developing a more engaged workforce through their own individual development plans.

This assessment tool has personally helped me understand and develop my own leadership style to further development my leadership skills as president of Pensacola State College.”

“Through DISC, Driving Forces and EQ assessments, students gain language and clarity around their strengths, communication styles, and motivators often for the first time. This self-awareness translates directly into greater confidence, stronger communication, improved teamwork, and clearer career direction, giving students the confidence, mindset, and professional readiness needed to succeed in fast-paced, team-based work environments.”
