Authenticity Quiz

Like a tree in winter that appears dormant but is actually building deeper roots and storing energy, true leadership begins beneath the surface. While others chase quick fixes and constant action, authentic leaders know a counterintuitive truth: slowing down to connect with your True Self creates more sustainable power than pushing harder.

True Self Leadership isn't about performing perfectly – it's about having the courage to be real. Just as nature moves in cycles of growth and rest, you can learn to balance your best self (your responsive, grounded state) with your human drama (those reactive moments we all have). This foundation of authenticity gives you access to something remarkable: the ability to stay centered and creative even when everything around you feels like chaos.

Ready to discover your authentic leadership style? This quiz is your first step toward leading from who you truly are, not who you think you should be.

IAMX Authenticity Quiz
REPORT

Dear {name},

Thank you for taking the IAMX Authenticity Quiz! Your personalized results are below. Please click SUBMIT to receive these results via email.

Your Authenticity Profile:

Best Self: {best}%
Drama: {drama}%
Resilience: {resilience}

Just like a garden needs both sun and rain to thrive, authentic leadership requires both your Best Self (your centered, responsive state) and your Drama (those reactive moments we all experience). Your scores aren't about "good" or "bad" – they're about discovering what balance between Best Self and Drama allows you to be resilient in the face of challenges and uncertainty.

What makes this fascinating? The power lies in the movement between these states. Your resilience develops not from eliminating Drama, but from learning to dance with it. Leaders who try to suppress their Drama often end up less authentic and more stressed. Instead, True Self Leadership is about learning to lead powerfully from your Best Self while gaining wisdom from your Drama.

Your Next Step: Define Your True Self

Are you ready to feel more in control without becoming controlling, and develop the confidence that your leadership impact will create lasting, meaningful results? Our Define Your True Self course opens up a new world of leadership possibilities where you can:

Double your sense of being prepared and ready for challenges

Reduce burnout by 40% through sustainable leadership practices

Transform confusion and overload into authenticity and meaning

Navigate complexity with grace, turning every challenge into an opportunity

Build genuine resilience that doesn't require pretending you're perfect

Stay true to your values rather than being "hijacked" by reactivity

This isn't about eliminating drama – it's about transforming it into a catalyst for growth. Our participants report a 77% surge in their sense of control and choice, and a 117% increase in their ability to be both strategic and tactical.

Whether you're taking it individually or with your team, you'll discover how to bring your biggest, boldest, and best self to the table every single day while inspiring the same in others.

Please schedule time to discuss your results!
