Understanding the compass

Four cardinal points, five profiles

The Compass is the framework I use in coaching. It does not put you in a box: it shows what you can lean on, and where a small shift will have the most effect.

North

Direction

Clarity of vision, priorities and decisions. Knowing where you are going, and saying so.

East

Presence

Posture, speaking up, ability to influence. Being heard without raising your voice.

South

Connection

Trust, listening, feedback, delegation. Helping others grow without carrying everything.

West

Bridge

Cross-cultural intelligence: decoding the implicit and adjusting your communication.

The five profiles

Your profile matches your strongest point. When all four are at the same level, it is called the Centre profile.

North profile — You set the direction

Fulcrum: Direction. You know where you are going and say so clearly. In uncertainty, people turn to you to decide.

What others find in you: Clarity, priorities, decisions.

Your watch-out: Keep room for other people’s ideas: a direction held too tightly can silence weak signals.

East profile — You embody and inspire

Fulcrum: Presence. Your posture and your words carry. You can hold a room and defend a position.

What others find in you: Energy, assurance, a voice.

Your watch-out: Leave space: your presence can, unintentionally, take up all the room.

South profile — You connect and help others grow

Fulcrum: Connection. People feel listened to with you. You create the trust that lets people say things frankly.

What others find in you: Trust, listening, support.

Your watch-out: Don’t carry everything yourself: connection doesn’t rule out delegating, or saying no.

West profile — You translate and bridge

Fulcrum: Bridge. You sense what is not said and adjust how you communicate depending on people and cultures.

What others find in you: Finesse, diplomacy, understanding.

Your watch-out: Dare to be explicit: by adapting so much, your own position can become blurred.

Centre — A steady needle

Four points at the same level. Your four cardinal points are at the same level. That is a valuable base for choosing where to invest now.

What others find in you: Consistency.

Your watch-out: Choose one priority: progressing everywhere at once often means progressing nowhere.

This assessment is a tool for reflection, not a validated psychometric test. It replaces neither a conversation nor coaching.
