Hogan Personality Profile

Read your reputation as the strongest predictor of how you peform, lead, and are experienced over time.

Understand what your Hogan profile reveals about you.

Explore Your Profile

How clear is your leadership to you?

At senior level, progress rarely comes from adding more skills. Experience, responsibility and decision-making are already in place. What becomes decisive is reputation: how your behaviour is consistently experienced by others, especially under pressure and over time.

This is what shapes trust, credibility and effectiveness, and often explains why influence grows, stalls or starts to erode.

The Hogan Personality Profile offers a structured way to step back and read how your leadership is likely to be experienced in your working environment, and what that means now.

When reputation starts to matter more than effort

There are moments in a leadership career when effort is no longer the issue.

You may be delivering results and still sense friction. Feedback may feel imprecise. Decisions take more energy than they used to. The same situations repeat, even though your intentions are clear.

At these moments, the question is rarely what else should I do?
More often, the question is: What is my leadership setting in motion right now?
This is where reputation becomes a meaningful lens.

What your reputation revels at work

Hogan is not about personality as a label.

It provides an evidence-based view of how you are likely to be perceived in your professional environment. It looks at leadership from the outside in, focusing on reputation rather than self- description.

In practical terms, it brings together:

  • Your everyday strengths and leadership style
  • Patterns that may emerge under stress or fatigue
  • Behaviours that support effectiveness and those that may quietly limit it
  • Values and drivers that influence decisions, motivation and priorities

Most leaders come to this work with a question they have been carrying for some time. They leave with a more grounded basis for deciding what deserves attention now, and what does not.

What your reputation revels at work

Most assessment results reflect the individuals self-perception.
Hogan focuses on your reputation: how others interpret your behaviour in real work contexts.

This distinction matters at the senior level. Careers tend to accelerate or stall not because of intention, but because of repeated patterns that shape trust and credibility over time.

The Hogan framework connects three perspectives:

  • How you tend to operate when things are going well
  • What can surface under pressure and become a derailer
  • What motivates you and sustains engagement over the long term

This makes it particularly useful at moments of promotion, transition, recalibration or strategic reflection.

How we work with the Hogan Personality Profile

We don’t start with the assessment.
We start with your situation.

Before anything else, we take time to understand the context and the question that needs answering. We use the Hogan assessment only if it helps clarify something real.

The work typically includes:

  • A tailored Hogan Personality Profile questionnaire
  • A detailed individual report
  • Individual feedback session
  • Contextual reflection linked to your current challenge and professional situation
Describe your situation

I’ll read it personally and let you know if this is the right approach.

The 1:1 debrief with me,
making sense of patterns

The debrief is where insight becomes usable.
Its value comes from identifying the right pattern and understanding how it plays out in your specific role and organisational context.

In our session, we work with your Hogan results as development signals, not as traits in isolation.
We connect them to the situations you are navigating now, the expectations attached to your role, and the dynamics around you. This makes it possible to see where a pattern supports your effectiveness, where it starts to limit it, and where a small adjustment would have the most impact.

I’ll guide you in identifying the small, precise recalibrations that make a disproportionate difference in your real working context.

I’ll guide you step by step through your Hogan results.

Testimonials

Klod Kolaro

General Manager, Endava

“Simona is an extremely passionate, professional, and highly skilled business consultant. She possesses a unique ability to find the right advice for every business challenge. She sets after goals with a positive attitude and by following the highest standards of professional ethics and confidentiality.”

Dena Roberts

Global Manager, Aspen Global Incorporated

»Simona was key in guiding me to understand what was truly holding me back from accelerating my growth and shared with me the tools to inwardly focus on achieving my goal to be promoted into my new role! I have her to credit for any edge I have. Without her, I'd still be looking outwardly to seek the growth that I needed, rather than realizing that I was my biggest obstacle; and I would still be stuck feeling frustrated and demotivated as I circled in a rut that appeared to have no exit. Now I’m in my new role, focused on the future and excited to work on what comes next, and I gladly waved goodbye to seeing roadblocks that were only in my head. Honestly, if you’re circling in no-mans-land and are feeling the passion to change your future, Simona is the perfect coach to shine a light in that ‘sometimes’ dark tunnel and get the best out of yourself!«

Bartosz Jurkiewicz

Sourcing Director, Kalmar, Cargotec Corporation

“I have been working with Simona on several projects while on the management board at Trimo Slovenia. She also assisted me in coaching one of my team members, when leaving the company. What I valued the most while working with her is putting a lot of effort into the initial stage, by spending time clarifying my expectations. I believe that was the key to success. I always found Simona to be a highly professional and dedicated person with 'out of the box' thinking and a strong drive to reach the goals.”

Mark Kalin, M.Sc., MBA

Managing Director, 1337Works

“When you first meet Simona she shocks you with her energy. She opens your mind to all the possibilities that are available to you and inspires you to do great things. She is a true leader, connector, networker, and enabler. I met Simona a couple of years ago, when I was starting my business path towards more serious positions and roles as a leader and manager, and I needed a mentor to guide me. Simona was the one that mentored me, gave me some great advice, and gave me the “kick in the ass” I needed. Her knowledge, professional experience, emotional intelligence, and the way she leads and coaches people, are attributes that we all strive for.”

Sandra Cvetko

Global Packaging Director, GlaxoSmithKLine

“I was new to coaching so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Simona, and would highly recommend coaching to anyone that wants to understand their personal goals, refocus their priorities and increase their performance. I got so much out of our coaching sessions; from tools that help me on everyday challenges at work, to personal growth that enhanced my relationships.”

Rok Štifter

CEO, ByRokko

“Simona carries a wide range of business experience, which she always supports with theoretical models. When I needed a business mentor, my senior business colleague recommended Simona. I wanted to improve my leadership skills and business knowledge, as I am an entrepreneur. With Simona, we discussed various segments of business and areas of my personal vision and motivation, which helped me to lead my international online business. What I admire the most is her inspirational approach and ability to support somebody’s development to learn new leadership competencies, set long term strategic goals, and to grow personally. With her help, I was able to upgrade my company’s operational and innovation processes.”

Aleksandra Brank, M.Sc.

Customer Experience Consultant, Entrepreneur

“In my professional life, I've talked to several coaches and consultants, but discussion with Simona was significantly different. She was very well prepared – she asked me a lot of questions that I have never asked myself before or been asked by other consultants or coaches. All these questions were not only career or business-oriented, they were excellent questions for me personally. By answering them I also discovered some unknown parts of myself. With Simona's coaching, I discovered my potential and determined the strategy of my business in the long term.”

The value of the Hogan Profile on its own

For some people, the profile is enough. It brings orientation and momentum at the right moment. For others, it becomes a starting point for coaching or a broader organisational conversation.

Nothing here presumes a next step. Sometimes, seeing clearly is already enough.

When Hogan is the right lens for you now

This work often begins with an individual question, even when it is the organisation that sponsors it. You can request a short conversation directly, or invite your HR team to contact us on your behalf.
