Barometer Assessment
Your weather report
A grounded snapshot of the internal and external conditions shaping how you lead, decide and grow — whether you’re leading a team, a company, or a business you’ve built yourself.
The Barometer blends two lenses:
What is sensed — intuition, energy, tension, emotional data, gut feel
What is known and measurable — behaviours, performance indicators, strategic outcomes
Together, they reveal the real conditions you’re operating in — the “weather” you’re navigating right now.
"Matt is world class at what he does and how he does it."

How Founders & Leaders Use the Barometer
For leaders, the Barometer clarifies:
- Where you’re strong
- What needs attention
- Where leadership habits or behaviours need recalibration
For founders, it clarifies:
- What’s happening in you
- What’s happening in the business
- How those two things influence one another
The Barometer gives us a shared baseline to work from — blending intuition, emotional intelligence, and measurable data — so we can decide where to focus first.
