about what comes next.

Work through it in your own time

24 statements

Three connected areas

For the questions, plus reflection

Interpretation included

Identify where to focus first

Before you put in more effort, understand where it’s needed.

When business slows, the pressure is to find another client. But finding the next project may bring relief without changing what keeps the cycle going.

This Diagnostic helps you examine the choices and practices behind that cycle. You’ll explore:

How your view of yourself and your value may influence the choices you make.
How you communicate your value and cultivate the relationships that create opportunities
How you set direction, maintain the practices that support consistent business development and look ahead at the health of your business.

Your responses and the interpretation guidance will help you identify which area needs attention, the two or three recurring behaviours that may be keeping your business reactive, and what you may need to develop or change first.

The opportunity to see the business more clearly.

Download the Diagnostic. Respond to 24 statements about how you’ve generally operated over the past six months, to the best of your recollection. Then use the scoring and interpretation guidance to understand your results.

It covers three connected areas: Lead Self, Lead & Influence Others and Lead the Business. Allow around 10 minutes for the questions, plus time to reflect on what stands out.

Your responses to the Diagnostic stay with you. This is a starting point for reflection, not a verdict on your expertise or your potential.

Created from experience. Designed to help you move forward.

I’m Suzanne Mercier. I’ve experienced feast and famine in my own business, and spent the past 20 years developing programmes that connect how people see themselves with the practical demands of leadership and business ownership.

This Diagnostic brings those two sides together, helping you consider both what’s happening in the business and what may be influencing how you lead it.

"Suzanne has a way of cutting through the crap to get to the core of what’s holding me back. She taught me to unpack my mind as if it were a dusty old kitchen cupboard and took me through a thorough spring clean, uncovering the old expired beliefs that no longer served me, and replacing them, all the while helping me to re-connect with my purpose and values, ensuring they are guiding my strategies and day-to-day decisions."

Excerpt from Jacqui Nolan-Neylan, Co-Founder, Revvies Energy Strips, on her coaching experience

Before you put in more effort,

Lead Self

02

Lead & Influence

Others

Look at how you communicate value and build the relationships that create opportunities.

03

Lead the Business

Examine your direction, businessdevelopment practices and attention to commercial health

How it works

Your responses stay with you. This is a starting point for reflection, not a verdict on your expertise or potential.

A few questions

Is this for me?

It is designed for experienced women who run a business around their expertise and want to understand why good work does not always translate into a consistent flow of business. You may work alone, with a team or with collaborators.

What will my results help me understand?

They help you recognise patterns across how you lead yourself, influence others and lead the business. Use them to identify priorities for reflection and action. The Diagnostic does not prescribe a complete business strategy.

Do I need to share my results?

No. Your completed responses stay with you. If you later join Built on Purpose, your Diagnostic will help inform your individual priorities and private coaching.
