360-Degree Assessments Demystified: How to Evaluate, Select, and Use Them Effectively with Dr. Jamie Lewis Smith

Multi-rater feedback tools (aka 360-degree assessments) are one of the most powerful – and often underutilized – tools in executive and leadership coaching. When used effectively, they provide critical insight into how a leader is experienced by others, making them a cornerstone for building self- awareness and driving meaningful behavior change.

Despite their value, many coaches underuse 360-degree assessments due to uncertainty around how to evaluate, select, and interpret them effectively. With a wide range of tools on the market and significant variability in quality, it can be difficult to know where to start or how to use them with confidence.

In this practical, research-informed session, Dr. Jamie Lewis Smith provides a deep dive into 360-degree assessments, including what they are, how they work, and how to evaluate their quality and fit for different coaching contexts.
