Capistran Personalized Competency Calculator (CPCC Assessment) For leaders who are ready to be more intentional about how they lead and the results they create.
The CPCC Assessment gives you a clear, objective view of how your leadership shows up in practice—where you are most effective, how you operate when the stakes are high, and how you are experienced by the people who matter most.
Your results are activated in a private 60-minute debrief where we connect the insight directly to your current priorities, responsibilities, and opportunities. The conversation is focused, practical, and directly tied to the outcomes you are responsible for.
With that level of clarity, your energy becomes more focused, your decisions more aligned, and your leadership more consistent and intentional.
What becomes clear through the CPCC
- Where your natural approach creates the strongest results
- What sustains your energy and long-term effectiveness
- How you show up under pressure
- Your communication and relationship patterns
- Where targeted refinement elevates your impact
You leave with a clear, usable understanding of how to lead in a way that fully leverages your strengths and supports the level of responsibility you carry.
This is clarity you lead from.

What Our Clients Think About CPCC Assessments and the Accuracy of the Results:
“At first I was skeptical. Not only was I proven wrong, but I was blown away at how accurate the assessment proved to be. Nancy brought out ideas and explained everything so well. It was extremely helpful. I would recommend this assessment to anyone from high school on up.”
“The CPCC assessment is an invaluable tool in building a solid, productive team. As an owner of a law firm, understanding the type of communication that motivates and stifles each team member’s productivity is imperative. Equally important is the team’s understanding of myself and my partner’s respective communication styles. While the physical assessment itself is informative, what makes it exceptional is Nancy’s finesse and astuteness in discussing each team member’s interpersonal skills, both individually and in a group setting. I would highly recommend the CPCC assessment and Nancy to anyone in leadership who wants to make smart hiring decisions and improve employee productivity, satisfaction and retention.”
“Capistran’s Personalized Competency Calculator (CPCC) was very enlightening. It gave me a better perspective on how my interactions might be viewed by others and how I could be contributing to unintentional biases professionally and socially. This knowledge gave me a great baseline to interpret how I can better understand my interactions with others, particularly personalities I find challenging to interact with. Going through the CPCC process was an “ah-ha” experience for me. It has provided me with the knowledge and tools to modify how I respond to others to have better discussions, negotiations, and interactions. I highly recommend the CPCC to anyone who wishes to grow as a person and become more successful.”
“A great behavioral assessment tool is one which is easy to complete, provides depth of insights and is well supported. The Capistran Personalized Competency Calculator provides all these superbly!”
"Capistran Leadership’s CPCC Assessment is a fabulous tool for career changers like me, who need to think more deeply about what we want. The objective data that came from this assessment, coupled with Nancy’s insights, made a great impact on my next move. I highly recommend the CPCC to career changers, job seekers, as well as organizations searching for a better tool to find the “right” candidates.”
“I requested that Capistran Leadership conduct a CPCC test on everyone in my agency. The results were spot on and highlighted traits that were both favorable and unfavorable for each of us. What was most valuable to me as a CEO, was learning the stressors and motivators of each of my employees. After Nancy’s detailed explanation of our individual results, we hung our personalized graphs side by side in our conference room. Whenever we need help with a project, client or situation, we utilize the team report to instantly recognize the best person in our agency to call on to complete the task for optimum results.”
“The Capistran Personalized Competency Calculator helped me understand the way I interact with people, the situations in which I am most comfortable, and those that are harder for me to navigate. While I have always felt that I have a good grasp on my interpersonal strengths and weaknesses, the CPCC provided much deeper insight. These nuances helped me understand the best types of clients to seek and the types of people I should hire to complement my team. I wish I had gone through this exercise years ago.”
“I have done other assessments in the past. Many of them didn’t uncover anything that I didn’t already know about myself. Capistran Leadership’s Competency Calculator is truly in a class by itself! It is a self-report assessment that takes only 10 minutes and the results made me go “WOW”! I learned a tremendous amount about my own character traits, and of equal importance, I learned how my own tendencies and preferences interact with other people’s character traits – both for better and for worse. This smart tool is a must have for any employer who is considering hiring a new employee.”
