what we do

More than a team-building workshop. A system for how your business actually runs.

We help leaders and teams understand themselves—and each other—through behavioral data. That means less friction inside teams, better hires, stronger leadership alignment, and a culture that actually scales.

This isn’t personality typing or surface-level insight.  It’s a behavioral assessment platform designed to show you what’s really driving performance.

How we do it

We figure out what makes 
people tick. So you know how 
to make them click.

Our approach combines behavioral science, real-world application, and practical tools you can actually use. We don’t just give you insight. We give you a system to act on it.

E3 Behavioral insights platform

Behaviors make or break a business. The E3 helps them make it.


The E3 Behavioral Insights Platform is at the heart of everything we do and the assessment takes a mere 5-10 minutes to complete. Its outputs are easy to digest and use, yet its insights dive deep. Unlike personality tests, which can lead to biased results and hiring practices, we provide a deeper, holistic view of behaviors in context—so you can predict how people will show up before it impacts your team.

The E3 Behavioral Insights Platform helps you: 

  • Assess behavior (not just personality)
  • Understand how individuals operate within your culture
  • Identify patterns across teams
  • And make better decisions in hiring, leadership, and development
behavioral benchmarking

Get the right hire the first time.

Behavioral Benchmarking gives you a data-driven, holistic view of a candidate’s pattern of behaviors—before you decide whether to hire them (or not).

Using behavioral benchmarking, you can:

  • Identify natural alignment with the role
  • Understand how someone will operate within your team
  • And make confident hiring decisions based on more than a resume
Coaching

People are your biggest investment. Make them count.

Our coaching is powered by the E3 behavioral insights platform, allowing you to pinpoint the behaviors that people need to be effective, and helping unlock them. When your leaders and teams can see themselves clearly, it opens up a next-level ability to collaborate, communicate and elevate your business.

Through coaching, we help leaders and teams: 

  • Build real self-awareness
  • Understand how their behavior impacts other
  • And make intentional shifts that improve performance

Blindspotting

A framework for
leveled-up leadership.

Blindspotting, developed with clinical psychologist and executive coach Martin Dubin, is a science-backed model that reveals the blindspots holding leaders—and teams—back.

Through the book, assessment, and coaching:

  • Leaders uncover how their strengths can become liabilities
  • Teams see the patterns they can’t see on their own
  • And organizations gain a clearer path to alignment and performance

A few choice words.

Hear what notable leaders across industries have to say about Behavioral Essentials.

"I’ve taken just about every leadership assessment and training program over 30 years, and Behavioral Essentials is the best by far. For hiring, developing people, culture, conflict, and personal growth, they’ve been essential to our success. We’ve grown from $50 million to $500 million, and I honestly don’t know how we would have done it without them. Their tools and coaches are the glue that holds this rocket ship together."

“The E3 Assessment was one of the most valuable things for our industry—everyone should take it, period. It only takes minutes and gives you real insights for growth, not judgment. It’s great for self-awareness and even better for team building. We learned how our differences actually balance each other, like a yin-yang, and that’s powerful for any workplace.”
