EVIDENCE-BASED LIFE COACHING
Notice the drift.
Make the shift.
When something in the universe moves away from you, its light stretches and shifts toward red. Astronomers read that shift to measure drift they could never see directly.
Your life works the same way.
Purpose, energy, connection, growth: when they start moving away, they give off subtle signals long before the distance feels obvious.
Our tools are instruments for reading them — honestly, clearly and without judgment.​
WHAT IS THE META DYNAMICS PROFILING TOOL?
TM
Not a personality test.
A thinking map.
You have probably done a personality test before. MBTI. DISC. Maybe the Big Five. They're useful — but they all measure the same layer: what you prefer, how you tend to behave, or what traits you present to the world.
​
"The Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool goes deeper — it maps how you think, process information, and create meaning. And that's where real transformation becomes possible."
​
Whether you are trying to understand why you react the way you do under pressure, or someone feeling disconnected from your values and sense of self — the MDPT gives you the same thing: an honest, grounded picture of your inner world that doesn't label or limit you. It reveals where you're strong, where you're stretched, and where the most meaningful growth is available.
Developed by the International Coaching Institute and grounded in cognitive and behavioural psychology, the MDPT is the only profiling tool in its category built by coaches, for coaching transformation. There are two distinct levels of profiling available — each one going deeper than the last.
MINI PROFILE - 32 QUESTIONS
A 32-item Likert scale assessing your thinking style across four archetypes — Visionary, Architect, Dynamo, and Collaborator.
Shows your HIGH (strengths) and LOW (stretch areas) within each dimension.
Takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
Free and includes a complimentary 1-hour unpack session.
FULL META PROFILE - 70 QUADRANTS (MDPT)
An ipsative forced-choice tool — 70 quadrants, 280 items — measuring 16 dimensions and 41 primary characteristics.
You are assessed in relation to yourself, not a population norm.
Results are expressed as STEN scores across a developmental spectrum from Stretch through to Signature strength.
The most comprehensive picture available.
​
Takes approximately 30-40 minutes.
THE E.S.I.P FRAMWORK - FOUR ARCHETYPE DIMENSIONS
Where are you high — and where do you stretch?
The Profile measures your thinking style across four dimensions of the E.S.I.P. model — Environment (Visionary), Structure (Architect), Implementation (Dynamo), and People (Collaborator).
For each dimension, it shows your HIGH functioning areas (genuine strengths) and LOW functioning areas (your stretch and growth edge) — giving you a specific, personalised picture, not a fixed type.

The Mini Profile gives you a high and low score across all four E.S.I.P. dimensions — not a fixed type. Most people show varying levels across all four, and your profile can shift as you develop.
The Full Meta Profile (MDPT) goes significantly deeper — measuring 16 dimensions and 41 primary characteristics using a 70-quadrant ipsative tool, with STEN scores ranging from Stretch through Opportunity, Effective, Strength, to Signature. That's where the complete picture lives.

→ Complete profile review before your session
THE 90-MINUTE UNPACK SESSION
Deep 1:1 with Anita
​Ninety minutes to make sense of everything your profile is showing — and to turn that insight into direction. This is not a surface-level debrief. It is a deep, structured conversation that leaves you with a clear, honest picture of where you are and what to do next.

→ Exploring where you're over-functioning and what it's costing you
→ Identifying where under-functioning is keeping you stuck
→ Setting one clear, values-aligned goal to move forward
