With the evolution of time comes

the evolution of theories. 

ESI® - Executive State

Identification – is based on ego

state personality theory. It is a

psycho-analytical tool which

has its origins embedded in the

work of Freud and Federn. 

You and your business will benefit when

this 21st Century tool is utilized in

your organisation. 

ESI® is an excellent performance management tool for your HR staff. Your teams too will grow in strength when ESI TEAMS® is put into practice. Your leaders and coaches will grow in understanding by using ESI®

ESI® is a tool that maps the many 'parts' of your personality.  Its strength is in its concept of mapping and acknowledging the different parts of your psyche, both inhibitive and supportive factors, and then providing strategies for behavioural change. 

Can you imagine working with a team of high performing people?  You will be able to achieve much more from your team when you and they, understand what makes up ‘who they are’ and ‘why they behave the way they do’.

ESI® operates on the premise that whichever state (or part of your personality) is executive (or operational) at a given time, it consumes your thinking and your behaviour is displayed.  So, while most of the time your rational, cognitive mind will process the information and decide what you could do or how you could behave, there are times (particularly when we approach a manager or coach for help) that this process fails to work in your favour. 

The ESI Mapping Tool is highly valuable for:

> Executive coaching
> Managing conflict
> Life and goal achievement coaching
> Behaviour change
> Leadership
> Professional development
> Continuous improvement
> Leading and managing
> Developing high performing teams
> Performance management

ESI® has evolved from the work of Freud and Federn and more modern-day psychologists such as Emmerson PhD and Watkins.  It comes from ego state personality theory.

ESI® has been developed by Jan Sky (2006) and is a process that identifies the many parts of you - parts we call states (or factors).  These states make up your own unique personality map. 

Used with your teams, the map displays the functionality or dysfunctionality of your team.

ESI® allows you to recognise both supportive and inhibitive factors from which you or your team operate. By uncovering inhibiting factors that hold you or your team back from achieving full potential, you are better equipped to put strategies in place and/or make adjustments to your behaviour where necessary.

ESI® works with teams to promote harmony and collaboration which in turn creates high performance.  ESI works by identifying factors which are often unspoken and yet contribute to problematic situations that often go unresolved.

Turn your team into a high performing team.
