Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is the foundation of effective consulting. When you understand how you show up in different situations - your strengths, blind spots and triggers - you can lead with authenticity, build deeper client relationships and drive more meaningful change.
Lumina Spark
Advanced Consulting programs use the Lumina Spark personality assessment to provide deep insights into your three personas and 24 qualities. You'll discover what makes you effective, where you have hidden potential and what triggers your overextended behaviour.
Through practical frameworks like SCARF and thinking style analysis, you'll develop strategies to manage stress, stay in control and bring your best self to every client engagement.

The Three Personas Framework
Understanding yourself as a consultant requires recognizing that you operate in three distinct personas. The Lumina Spark assessment reveals how you show up in different contexts and pressures.
Underlying Persona
Your core, authentic self. Who you are when you're relaxed and not trying to be anything other than yourself.
Shows your fundamental qualities and natural tendencies
Everyday Persona
How you typically show up in your professional and social world. Your adapted self that navigates daily life.
Shows how you present yourself to others
Overextended Persona
How you behave when stressed, under pressure, or overdoing things. Your unconscious, reactive self.
Shows patterns when you're out of control
SCARF: Understanding Your Triggers
The SCARF model identifies five key drivers that trigger overextended behaviour when threatened. Understanding these triggers helps you manage stress and maintain effectiveness.
Status
Do I feel valued?
Certainty
Am I in the loop?
Autonomy
Am I given choices and control?
Relatedness
Do I feel connected to others?
Fairness
Do I get the credit others do?
