PRISM is a leading-edge, online behavioural profiling tool that's backed by neuroscience.

  • - Brett. S

    “Pearl has an innate ability to "read" people and gain a very accurate understanding of their thoughts and feelings at that time. She has an unyielding desire to deliver fantastic results for all people-related activities within an organisation. Two particular such examples are career pathways for our engineering and project management organisations and a complete talent management approach for the organisation. I choose these two examples because the role Pearl played in influencing the stakeholders and committing them to action was exceptional”

  • - Amy. C

    “I connected with Pearl at a time when I was struggling to understand what was next in my career and was lacking self-confidence. I was unable to find the passion needed to make a positive impact in the workplace. Pearl has created a safe space for me to explore my strengths, identify areas of my work that I enjoy most and remain curious and lean in when faced with challenging situations. We reflected on certain situations and planned next steps to ensure that I was leveraging my strengths whilst being mindful of my default buttons. I have always felt supported, heard and inspired by Pearl and she has been instrumental to my career growth over the past 2 years. With Pearl’s coaching, I have become a more emotionally intelligent leader.”

  • - Annie. M

    "As part of my Coaching with Pearl an insightful aspect was the PRISM Brain Profile. I was fortunate enough to do PRISM at the beginning of our Coaching and again 12 months later. The first mapping revealed really interesting insights and then when we compared the results after a year's coaching, it was great to review the subtle developments and changes in my brain profile map. Pearl is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her work that even the difficult parts of self-development and growth were a truly brilliant experience".

    “Pearl, thank you so much for the time, enthusiasm and energy you’ve given us as our event guest speaker. It didn’t us long to recognise we were onto a winner! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us

  • - Cameron. D

    "PRISM brain-mapping was a really informative and incredibly interesting experience. Pearl was highly knowledgeable but also very easy to work with in an honest and educational way. The mapping was a very accurate depiction of my strengths and attitude and helped me a great deal with how I operate in business. I was fortunate enough to do another PRISM a year later and that was really insightful to see the similarities and differences based on life changes. Highly recommend for anyone looking to further understand their leadership preferences and to understand how that can benefit them in business, career or life in general. Pearl was a pleasure to work with and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in this area"

  • - Natasha. D

    "Pearl attended my PRISM brain-mapping as part of a business leadership course I was part of. PRISM was very interesting to complete and the results were very insightful. I have used the results to drive a positive shift in the way I run my business and am seeing great results from doing so. Pearl was very knowledgeable and really helped me to understand and interpret the findings. Highly recommend for anyone in business, but specifically for anyone who is leading a team, to better understand how we all work differently, and how to partner with each individual using their brain-mapping results".

  • - Angela. M

    “I have engaged with plenty of personality mapping tools over the years, but our experience with PRISM was outstanding. As a tool to provide opportunities for reflection and deep conversation with your team, it was excellent, and in Pearl's highly capable hands it was a rich and rewarding experience for everyone involved. Pearl's ability to challenge, support and draw out our thinking was wonderful. I am looking forward to doing further work with her as we continue to build strong leadership capacity in our school. I highly recommend making this a part of your professional learning plan for staff.”
