Why is the Heart Work Profile® Certified Partner an invaluable resource?

The Heart Work Profile® Certified Partner course has been intentionally designed to help organizations navigate the complex landscape of modern-day business and optimize their potential for success. The certified partner designation equips leaders and organizations with the ability to administer the Heart Work Profile® Assessment. Focusing on eight pillars – Heart, Mind, Wellness, Leadership, Coaching, Teams, Culture, and Execute – this assessment suite provides a holistic approach to assessing and enhancing key elements that drive organizational growth and prosperity, differentiated from other well-known assessments.

The Heart Work Profile® was developed in 2020 in response to the research examined in "Heart Work: 19 Expressions of Heart-Centered Leaders." Based on years of research and feedback from leadership executives and scholars, the Heart Work Profile® was designed to address one of the most fundamental challenges of the leader experience - the presence of one's heart.

In today's dynamic and highly competitive environment, effective leadership is paramount. The intuitive feelings of Heart Work™ makes sense on so many levels. Still, it's what the research tells us that makes us so excited about increasing retention, engagement, and performance by utilizing the Heart Work Profile®. Our trusted partner clients immediately see the impact that our proprietary assessments have on their teams and businesses once we walk through all the offerings of this most unique and transforming development experience.

In a 2023 quantitative research study, love was attributed to over a 16% increase in organizational performance. This study also shows that leader-follower relationships and organizational performance have high positive correlations with love leadership in the workplace. Love in organizations is defined as the sum of communications, policies, and actions that create a safe environment. 

Heart Work is defined as how one lives, loves, and leads from the inside out. Simply put, leaders are humans first, operating from a core of emotions, beliefs, and lived experiences, all of which begin from within. "Heart Work™ is the energy that hard work requires."
