WHY CPCC?
We live in a fast-paced world. Leaders have many balls in the air. The CPCC Assessment was designed to support that speed of life.
Created by an executive coach seasoned in many assessment methodologies, the CPCC delivers something different: concise, clear, and easy to understand and remember. It speaks to all learning styles and provides real-life insights and actionable ideas to help leaders reach their next level of success.
The gemstones and color theme make results easier to remember and create a simple common language teams can leverage immediately. No lengthy reports that sit in a drawer. No results you forget a week later. The CPCC creates immediately actionable awareness that matters—helping growth-minded busy leaders become more intentional about their next steps.
Every assessment includes a 60-minute debrief session with the creator of the CPCC—not a certified administrator, not a software-generated report, but the expert who designed the methodology and understands how to apply it to your unique situation.

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.”
