Free assessment · By executive coach Alexa Sherr Hartley
Where are you getting in your own way?
You probably already know a lot about what you should do. This assessment is about the harder question: what happens to you in the moment when knowing better and doing better become two different things?
01 — What it looks at
Three places leaders get in their own way.
- Star 01
Choose Your Story
What happens is one thing. The meaning you make of it is another.
- Star 02
Claim Your Part
Not the whole part. Not all the blame. Just your part.
- Star 03
Commit to Yourself
Honest enough to change. Compassionate enough to keep going.
02 — How it works
Not another personality type. A clear place to start.
- Step 1Answer
Eighteen honest statements about how you’ve shown up in the hard moments of the last 30 days.
- Step 2See
Your three-star profile, on screen and by email — showing where you have the most access to choice right now and where to practice next.
- Step 3Practice
One thing to try this week, in a situation you’re already dealing with.
03 — Who’s behind it
Built from years of coaching leaders inside organizations.
For years, I’ve worked with leaders who want something to change: helping them make their vision real, stronger relationships, more buy-in, more productive conversations.
What I’ve learned is that what keeps us stuck usually isn’t a lack of information or advice. It’s what happens inside us: the stories we tell ourselves, the patterns we fall into, and how we treat ourselves when things get hard. That’s what this assessment looks at.
“Alexa has a rare ability to balance support with honest, challenging feedback, which has pushed me to grow in ways I didn’t know were possible.”

Five minutes · Eighteen honest answers
Find the one place to start.
This is a reflection tool, not a diagnostic, personality test, or scientific measure. There are no good or bad scores. It’s a mirror, not a grade.
Before you start
Think about the last 30 days.
Think especially about moments when you were under pressure, frustrated, uncertain, or reactive. Not your best day, and not your worst. The ordinary hard ones.
For each statement, choose how true it has been of you. Answer for how you’ve actually been, not how you’d like to be. Nobody else sees your answers. The more honest the input, the more useful the result.

Your three-star profile is ready.
Where should we send it? You’ll see your results on the next screen, and we’ll email you a copy so you can come back to it. The Day-29 retake in the practice track compares against it.
Your answers stay private. We store them with your email so we can send your results and, if you get the full bundle, your personalized debrief. We’ll also send occasional notes from Alexa. No spam, and one click unsubscribes. We never sell or share your information.
Your three-star profile
A quick word on how to read this. These numbers aren’t a grade, and they don’t compare you to anyone else. They reflect how you rated yourself on hard days in the last 30 days. Your highest Star is the capacity that seems most available to you right now. Your lowest Star is simply where practice is likely to pay off first. It is not a verdict. It’s a lever.
