Exemplify Leadership

BIG NEWS! Exemplify Leadership, Kristi Windish and Robyn Jackson with True Compass are teaming up to help leaders navigate their purpose to provide an in-depth personality and leadership assessment for Exemplify Leadership members. 🧭

At True Compass, they believe self-awareness is the foundation of effective leadership. Their unique assessment process blends three powerful tools—personality, values, and aptitude assessments—to help leaders gain a clearer understanding of themselves from the inside out. While most professional evaluations deliver feedback externally, True Compass uncovers objective, internal insights through the measurement of natural aptitudes, using the gold standard of aptitude assessments, the Highlands Ability Battery. The result is a comprehensive picture of “who you are,” “what drives you,” and “how you’re wired to work.”

Why Self-Awareness Matters

Research by organizational psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich reveals that although 95% of people believe they are self-aware, only about 10–15% truly are. Her work shows that self-aware leaders are more confident, make better decisions, foster stronger relationships, and are more effective at work. Leaders who actively seek to understand themselves from both internal (introspective) and external (feedback-based) perspectives are more likely to thrive in dynamic environments.

The True Compass Process: A Whole-Person View

True Compass combines data about your natural strengths with insights from personality and values assessments to reveal a deeper understanding of a leader’s natural strengths, limitations, and behavioral tendencies. This process offers leaders and professionals a rare opportunity to:

● Understand the “why” behind their strengths and challenges

● Gain clarity on behavioral patterns and performance drivers

● Target growth more intentionally and authentically

● Leverage specific, innate talents in strategic ways

● Recognize areas for delegation to maximize effectiveness

● Manage energy and focus with greater precision

● Appreciate and apply the diverse abilities of others

Growth Through Insight

Growth is at the core of all professional development. But without self-awareness, growth efforts can lack focus or direction. True Compass empowers leaders to move beyond surface-level insights to engage deeply in their own development journey—aligning their responsibilities with their natural abilities and values, and cultivating the self-knowledge necessary to adapt, lead, and inspire.

Through Exemplify Leadership membership, Legacy Leaders have this assessment included within their membership and General, Emerging, and Executive level memberships have the True Compass assessment at a discounted rate!

Oftentimes in leadership, we overcomplicate things. If we want to exercise leadership, leadership must include action, influence, or living the example we want to see in the world.

In my life, I have found there have been many obstacles prohibiting me from living out my full potential. These obstacles included fear, a lack of support, lack of confidence, and a community that didn’t support me in my goals. However, as I have led my life and leadership coaching practice for the past 4 years as well as serving on various leadership teams, I have realized that all of these obstacles can be overcome through the right community of leaders to help support me in my goals. After realizing this, I decided to build that community of support for others, giving them courage, support, confidence, and accountability to help them reach their goals quicker, while also saving them time and money by making sure they focus on what matters. 🏆

Here is a framework that we focus on that helps leaders turn their ideas into action to help them exercise leadership and build a winning routine:

1. Start
2. Stay calm
3. Plan your tasks
4. Focus on one thing
5. Remove distractions
6. Break tasks into steps
7. Stay consistent everyday
8. Take action without overthinking

Once we have done the strategic thinking up front through coaching, we then turn that plan into action through these simple steps. This is where the real leadership happens. It’s the simple actions we take each day that get us to where we are going on our leadership adventure. Luckily, we can have a community to help join us on the adventure. 🏔️

This is why at Exemplify Leadership, we have created a tiered membership program for leaders to find that community that supports them. Our membership, “Be the Example”, is available to all levels of leaders and matches leaders up with certain levels of experience to help them build a team to go on the leadership adventure together.

Be the Example!

At Exemplify, we have adjusted our membership model.

Here's Why........

1. We wanted a model that allows access to leadership development and training at all levels of a company. Emerging leaders, middle management/executive leaders, and C-Suite Executives/Business Owners and Entrepreneurs.

2. We also wanted a model that matches others up in a supportive accountability group that allows members to grow and learn on similar leadership experience levels.

3. We wanted to give leaders and their teams a clear direction for where they should be spending their time to help them reach their goals quicker with a group of like-minded leaders that truly understand them.

With this new model, it will allow Exemplify to scale and grow, allowing us to have multiple communities with multiple Exemplify coaches supporting our clients.

We are excited for what is to come and the community, connection, and culture that will soon be built within leadership around the world!

There is a clear accountability and leadership crisis in our workforce today.

According to a workplace accountability study conducted by Culture Partners spanning multiple years and involving over 40,000 participants across a wide variety of industries and organizations, a startling absence of clearly defined objectives and abundant confusion about the subject of accountability is common throughout today’s workplace.

Here are some of the highlights from the study:

Accountability is incorrectly perceived as strictly consequential and almost entirely after-the-fact—80% of those surveyed say feedback is something that happens to them only when things go wrong or not at all.

85% of survey participants indicated they weren’t even sure what their organizations are trying to achieve, a missed opportunity for creating alignment and focus.

The failure here is astounding—with 93% of those surveyed unable to align their work or take accountability for desired results. Fully one-third feel their priorities change frequently, creating confusion.

The burden is on leaders—84% of those surveyed cite the way leaders behave as the single most important factor influencing accountability in their organizations. And yet just 15% of leaders have successfully clearly defined and broadly communicated their key results.

When it comes to holding others accountable, 82% of survey participants say they either try but fail or avoid it altogether.

At Exemplify Leadership, we help solve this problem of the lack of accountability in the workplace. We coach leaders and their teams through immersive outdoor experiences. Our members reclaim their time, refocus their vision, and build high-trust, high-performing teams.

We don’t just develop leaders, we transform them, rebuilding their connection, community, and culture. How can you get involved and join an accountability group? Join our membership, “Be the Example”, today! Follow this link to learn more: www.exemplifyleadership.com/services.
