Take the CELFIE: Your Leadership Strengths Assessment Snapshot

The CELF Authentic is a proprietary framework designed by Congruent Transition Coaching. Taking your CELFIE helps you uncover your leadership strengths and navigate career transitions with clarity and confidence.

Your Snapshot of Leadership Strengths and Career Alignment

The CELFIE isn’t just another career quiz. It’s a structured leadership strengths assessment that gives you a clear view of where you are right now — and what you can build on to move forward.

By exploring Confidence, Engagement, Learning, and Focus, the CELFIE highlights both your natural strengths and begins to explore the areas that may need more attention during times of transition. This assessment acts as your starting point for deeper coaching work, helping you see the patterns and possibilities in your own leadership style.
