FirstMind: Find your energy drivers - and use your strengths consciously
You can be busy without moving. And you can perform without thriving.
Often the difference is not time - but Energy and self-awareness.
I use FirstMind as a concrete dashboard that gives you a precise overview of your talents, your strengths and your energy drivers - and where you typically lose energy or focus.
When you can see your talent DNA clearly, it's easier to prioritise correctly, make decisions calmly and play yourself right in your team.
FirstMind can be used both individually and in teams - giving you a common language for differences, blindspots and collaboration that actually works in everyday life.
Book a short clarification call and I'll show you how FirstMind can be used in your reality.
The personalised FirstMind report gives you a precise overview of your talents, strengths and energy drivers. You see what naturally lifts your performance - and where you typically lose energy or focus.
The report serves as your personal map of strengths, energy sources, blindspots and motivational factors so you can use yourself more consciously in tasks, decisions and collaboration.
When you know your own talent DNA, it becomes significantly easier to both deliver at a high level and play yourself into the team.
Value-adding, talent-based leadership development
A study from Gallup shows that people who can apply their talents every day have:
- 6 x more likely to feel fully engaged in their job
- 6 x more likely to feel they can deliver their best every day
- 3 x more likely to have a great quality of life.
Gallup also found that organisations that position employees according to their individual talents experience
- 23% higher employee engagement
- 18% higher employee performance
- 29% higher bottom line profit.
FirstMind is based on research from 43 cognitive studies, 9 behavioural studies and 1.2 million people, showing that the way people's nerve cells are connected in the brain determines their personality and behaviour. The same studies have found that human personality can be categorised into 34 universal talents.

The team report gathers everyone's talent DNA in one overview and shows where the team has its strongest resources, where there are gaps, and where the energy typically leaks. FirstMind gives you a common, operational language for strengths, potential and energy sources, so tasks, responsibilities and decisions are placed where they create the greatest impact.
When the team profile is compared to a specific goal or challenge, everyone knows exactly what they need to contribute - and the conditions are in place for the team to not only reach the goal, but overperform.
At the same time, you'll get a clear view of your blindspots so you can consciously compensate instead of letting them cost you time, energy and results.
FAQ about FirstMind
1) What is a FirstMind profile - in short?
FirstMind is a talent and strength profile that gives a clear picture of your natural patterns: What you do easily, what energises you, and where you typically get pressured or lose your grip.
2) What do I actually get out of the report?
You get an accurate dashboard of your top talents, your energy drivers and your typical blindspots. It will be easier to prioritise, make decisions calmly and use your strengths consciously in everyday life.
3) How does it work in practice - from testing to feedback?
You take the test online. You'll then receive feedback where I translate the profile into concrete actions for your leadership: decisions, meetings, co-operation and energy under pressure. For many, it will also be a strong starting point for leadership development, because the insights can be quickly put into practice.
4) Is FirstMind only “personal development” - or can it be used in management and business?
It can be applied directly to leadership, business and recruitment. When you know what drives you (and what drains you), your execution becomes more stable - and you become clearer in your choices, your communication and your framework.
5) How can FirstMind improve collaboration in my leadership team?
In a team, FirstMind provides a common language for differences. You'll see where you complement each other, where friction arises, and how to share responsibilities for more energy and fewer misunderstandings.
6) What if I am sceptical about testing?
Then I use it as a tool - not a truth. The profile is a good starting point for dialogue and self-awareness, but it should always be compared to your reality and your specific challenges.
7) How quickly can we get started?
Typically quickly: The test can be taken right away, and then we can schedule the feedback so you can put the insights into action right away. If you also want to link strengths and decision-making style more closely to the numbers, you can also see CFO on Demand.
