The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) is a system to measure and describe thinking preferences in people.

The HBDI diagnostic teaches you how to communicate with those who think the same as you, and those who think differently than you. Once an individual understands his or her thinking style preferences, the door is open to improved teamwork, leadership, customer relationships, creativity, problem solving, and other aspects of personal and interpersonal development.The HBDI explores these different thinking styles showing how these preferences will have their place in determining how we react, respond, communicate and behave.There is no ideal profile, The ideal is more choice. The more we understand our own thinking style and preference, and learn what we need to be more flexible, the greater results we will achieve.The HBDI workshop gives people a new way of understanding others, increasing the way they communicate and influence.

Testimonials

“The experience taught me that you are never too good for coaching – proper coaching makes good business leaders better and great ones greater. I wrote about it in the FT in June 2014 and at the time I didn’t name my coach because she was such a best-kept secret that she hadn’t even got a website. Last month she finally went online, so I’m happy to share now that her name is Serena Hartley.”
Mrs Moneypenny, Financial Times

“Serena is a remarkable lady who has an exceptional ability to capture the attention, interest and imagination of individuals and teams across all levels of business through to the very top. She leaves a lasting positive impact and always maintains the highest level of professionalism and integrity.”
Senior Executive, PLC Bank

“Serena’s coaching has made an enormous difference to my work and home life. Through her analysis I have been able to understand how my brain works to make decisions and also how that differs from my colleagues and stakeholders. I simply did not appreciate the extent to which the world is perceived in a completely different way by others; armed with that knowledge I have been able to significantly improve my communication skills.”
Financial Director, PLC

“I have achieved all of the objectives that my CEO and I set at the start of the coaching process, and the process itself has been time-efficient and enjoyable – I heartily recommend it”
Senior Director, Bank
