How Skills Builders Enhances Your Power and Influence Skills

Many professionals rely solely on self-assessment to evaluate their power and influence skills, which can provide a limited perspective. We often view ourselves through our own lens, missing how others experience our influence in the workplace. This self-perception bias can restrict growth, especially when pursuing career advancement or recognition.

Without honest feedback from others, you may overlook hidden strengths and areas needing improvement. This can result in missed opportunities, delayed promotions, and strained workplace relationships. Confidence in your abilities may not reflect the skills that distinguish leading professionals. The consequence can be frustration, uncertainty, and a feeling that your career progress is slower than desired.

Skills Builders addresses this by incorporating feedback from those who know you well—colleagues, mentors, and friends. This external perspective offers a 360-degree view of your power and influence skills, helping identify blind spots and unlock new strengths. Our platform provides a professional development experience with personalized reports, action plans, and resources tailored to your needs. This clarity supports growth, stronger relationships, and greater professional distinction. With Skills Builders, you gain actionable insights rather than relying on guesswork.

You can take as many questionnaires as you'd like, and the price will always be free. We offer questionnaires on a wide range of topics to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and achieve your goals.

When you receive your report, you can enter the credentials of the people you want input from, and we'll send them an email invitation. You can also share a unique link to the questionnaire on social media or in your own invitation. We recommend that you get input from at least five people to compensate for any bias any one person might have.

We recommend that you invite others as their input can provide a more accurate and well-rounded view of your skills. Sometimes, our own perceptions of ourselves can be biased or incomplete. By gathering input from people who know you, you can gain a more comprehensive understanding of your strengths and areas for improvement. This will help you make progress towards your personal growth goals.

If you don’t receive enough responses, you can always send reminders to the people you’ve invited every three days or invite more people to participate.

The free report provides all the necessary insights, an action plan, and recommendations for personal growth. The paid version offers additional details, such as charts per question, for those who are interested. While we believe that personal growth should be available for everyone, the paid version is for those who are in a position to support us and help us grow.

Your results will be compared to the average score of others who have taken the questionnaire. You can also apply filters such as gender, age group, occupation, or level of education to see how you score against others. However, the results of these filters will only be available once there is enough data to make a meaningful comparison.

You will receive an email notification every time someone finishes answering their questions. However, you will only receive these messages if notifications are turned on.

It’s important to keep an open mind and view the results as an opportunity for growth, even if you don't agree with them. However, if you feel that someone has not taken the questions seriously or provided inaccurate input, you can disable their contribution to your results.

An action plan is a list of actions that you can take to improve your skills. Your report will provide a checklist of actions based on your skill level. As you complete these actions, new ones will be added to your checklist in increasing difficulty.

We will recommend resources that meet our high standards, including articles, books, videos, and courses. Gathering these recommendations is a labor-intensive process, and we continue to grow and add to them over time. So, we encourage you to check your report regularly for new recommendations.

By sharing resources that have helped you advance, you're contributing to a community of professionals all striving to grow and succeed. You'll have access to the resources shared by others that helped them on their career path.
