I have learned that stagnation precedes transformation.
The question you need to ask yourself is: Am I using my stuckness to transform and level up? This assessment will help you do that.
When people feel stuck, they can generally identify their Visible Stagnation (leaves): whether it’s relational, purpose, career, or physical.
But, to rise above our stuckness, we need to explore and uncover both our Structural Stagnation. (trunk) and Self-Protective Mindsets (Roots).
This Personal Stagnation Assessment will help you evaluate your stuckness at each of these levels.
The solution to our problems always lies at a deeper level than where the problem exists.
It’s designed to illuminate not just what is stuck — but why it’s stuck, providing the developmental insight needed to rise above it.
Step 1 – Take the Assessment
