Option: Invite client to review areas of the report in preparation for the debrief.
(Sections: Leadership Circle Profile, Written Comments, Graph Results)
The pre-debrief allows the leader time to reflect and get prepared for their debrief.
The purpose of sending the report ahead (should you choose) is to allow the leader time to notice, orient and have space before engaging in the debrief. Many of us are reflective thinkers and allowing this time honors our client’s desire to review the model, read their comments, and even go to their results to make the most of their debrief with a coach.
If you do not send the report ahead, you may provide the report in session.
Note: We recommend you review the results and comments before sending the report to the leader. If there are concerning comments you may want to wait until the session to share the report.
To prepare:
Send your client their results via the link the evening before their debrief. Confirm the client has received their personal interactive LCP report and provide some guidance, like:
“To prepare for your debrief, it would be a good idea to look over a couple of sections before we meet together, if you have time.
- Leadership Circle Profile: The orientation to the model, including the videos.
- Written Comments: Your comments from your evaluators. It can be important to take the time to reflect on how these comments inform your development.
- Graph Results: Briefly review your results. It’s OK if you do not understand everything right now.
We will go over the rest of the report together when we meet. I am very much looking forward to your debrief session and working with you.”
As a coach, you can also prepare for the debrief by reviewing the report. You may consider focusing on:
- The Comments. What do you notice?
- Greatness: Creative half, any dimensions above 80%ile, 67%ile and 50%ile. (Emerging)
- Greatness: Reactive half, any dimension less than or equal to 33%ile.
- Four Report Summary. How would you explain each?
- Gaps: Between self and average respondent scores of 25% or more. Where is the self-assessment higher and where is it lower?
- Gaps: Between self and any one of the evaluator groups of 25% or more.
- Gaps: Are these gaps more common with any single evaluator group?
- Consider one Reactive/Creative tension that could be one opportunity to explore.

This section moves them into their results.
(Section: Written Comments)
Begin by asking the client what they observed in their comments if the report was given in advance. Or go to the comment section, read the comments together, and pause to allow reflection.
