Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile
Do you want to get a better understanding of your mindset and how to use your entrepreneurial strengths to excel in your business?
I first heard of the EMP in 2020 when it was included in the COVID recovery program, offered by the Small Business Development Corporation. I applied for the program and I was successful. The program included multiple business coaching sessions and online group activities. The EMP was used as a tool to measure your strengths as an entrepreneur. I loved learning about my entrepreneurial strengths and after completing the program I went on to study the EMP and became a practitioner in February 2021. EMP is a cutting-edge tool to assess your mindset and help you unlock your entrepreneurial potential.
I found that understanding myself after completing the EMP helped me to focus on my strengths as an entrepreneur. It also gave me clarity and helped with my business decision making.
If this is something that interests you I offer a 1:1 session to help you discover your entrepreneurial strengths.
The Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile® (EMP) is a cutting-edge tool to assess your mindset and help you unlock your entrepreneurial potential.
The Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile EMP was developed at Eckerd Collage, Florida in 2010 by Mark Davis (professor of Psychology), Jennifer Hall (clinical psychologist) and Pam Mayer (Coach and Trainer for leadership development). While creating leadership training Pam discovered there were no tools available to measure entrepreneurial strengths. Together they created the EMP Profile.
There are two sections to the EMP, the Personality, the who and why and the Skills the what and how.
There are 14 scales that are assessed
Skills Scales
Future Focus, Idea Generation, Execution, Self-Confidence, Optimism, Persistence, Interpersonal Sensitivity
Personality Scales
Independence, Preference for Limited Structure, Nonconformity, Risk Acceptance, Action Orientation, Passion and Need to Achieve.
The EMP can be used to leverage existing strengths or enhance skills sets to unlock your potential. It is a tool to help to develop skills and mindset.

Testimonial
I did Jayde’s training and it was incredible. I learned so much about myself, my strengths, my weaknesses & how to use both to my advantage when it comes to running my business & also optimising it in my everyday life too. There were things that I felt aware of but after doing the training & having Jayde talk me through it I felt like it brought it all together and it all made sense.
I did this training months ago and have been over my results many times to ensure that I'm on the right track and using my strengths to my advantage! I would highly recommend this to every business owner if you want to know how to get the best results out of your business and for your life in general.
