This post explains how BJD Performance Group approaches onboarding through neuroscience-backed assessments that focus on communication, emotional intelligence, and motivation. It dives into how co-created systems ensure lasting results and measurable behavior change.
How does the onboarding and assessment process work?
The first step is co-creating a process that people will actually use. BJD Performance Group starts by discussing the true purpose and intentionality behind the assessments. The goal is to deliver clarity and operational guidance, ensuring ROI through meaningful implementation.
What do the assessments measure?
They begin with communication — how individuals receive and give information. From there, emotional intelligence is analyzed, including self and social regulation. Finally, motivation is broken down into passion-based and conceptual types to drive behavior change.
Why is motivation considered neurological?
Waiting to feel motivated can delay progress indefinitely. Instead, understanding what triggers motivation neurologically enables people to shift behaviors and reach desired outcomes.
How does this process enable results?
By combining communication styles, emotional intelligence, and motivation analysis, BJD Performance Group create actionable plans. These plans bridge where people are with where they want to go — and help them follow through on their stated goals.
“If you’re waiting to feel motivated, you’ll be waiting a long time. But when you learn what truly motivates you, you can change your behavior and achieve what you say you want.”
