What is GRIP-Birkman?

GRIP-Birkman is a personality assessment for individuals and teams that helps you understand more of who you are, how you’re wired, and what helps you and your team lead at higher levels. 

We are offering a course to train coaches in how to use this tool to increase the ripples of transformation through their work with clients.

GRIP helps you name what you bring. It explores your strengths, best role on a team, and leadership style—giving language to the unique contribution you make when you’re operating in partnership with the Holy Spirit.

Birkman helps you understand what’s happening above and below the surface of your personality. It reveals your personal leadership strengths, team-based strengths, your nervous system’s underlying environmental needs, interests, and the stress behaviours that can emerge when those needs aren’t being met.

Together, they give you a fuller picture—not just of what you do, but why you do it, and how you can show up at your very best.

At LFT, we believe GRIP-Birkman can be a powerful tool for understanding and naming where you experience Joy, Power, and Fruit (where you get results). We use GRIP-Birkman as a starting point for coaching and strengths-based team development, helping you understand what you and your team need to thrive.

Ultimately, GRIP-Birkman helps answer some important questions:

  • How do I/we show up?

  • What do I/we uniquely bring?

  • What do I/we need to lead at higher levels from a deeper place?

  • What happens to me/us under pressure?

  • How can I/we lead from a non-anxious, spiritually deep, and risk-taking place?

It’s about becoming leaders and teams who are more deeply rooted, non-anxious, and increasingly free to lead from who you were created to be.
