Testimonials

The highest level of professionalism combined with unmatched energy. From the very beginning of our collaboration with Jūratė and IPM, I was impressed by the amount of energy and genuine commitment invested in understanding our organisation’s needs and the challenges relatedto people management. True partnership begins only when you take the time to look deeper and uncover the real ‘why’ behind the situation, and this is exactly what leads to meaningful collaboration and outstanding results. Working with Jūratė and IPM team gives you complete confidence that you are partnering with professionals of the highest level.

‍

I first came across Facet5 in 2010 when I completed the assessment myself, naturally approaching it with a certain degree of scepticism. However, after receiving the results and feedback, I was genuinely and positively surprised by both the profile itself and the concentrated insight it provided about me as a person. The profile reflected my personality extremely accurately, convincing me that it was a tool worth mastering and applying to our company's people management practices. At the beginning of 2012, I attended the Facet5 Practitioner accreditation training course. As well as gaining professional training and knowledge, I also acquired the right to use the Facet5 platform independently. This knowledge proved immensely valuable when managing an international company in Slovakia, where I encountered clear cultural differences, unfamiliar people and different mindsets. Thanks to Facet5, I was able to gain valuable insight in a very short period of time, which greatly informed many of my people-related decisions.

Today, we use the Facet5 platform across the entire Peikko Group from recruitment and team development to supporting plant managers in building and calibrating existing teams as well as organising Strategic Leadership 360 feedback sessions.

I would gladly recommend Facet5 to business leaders and HR professionals who want to take their people management practices to a higher level.

The success of modern business increasingly depends on human capital, balanced expectations and leadership that fosters sustainable relationships and alignment among company leaders.

Our goal was to gain a deeper understanding of our team members - their personalities, ways of thinking, values, strengths, perceptions of personal contribution and meaning, as well as differences in decision-making. We wanted to better understand one another and grow as an effective team focused on shared results.

The training and personality assessment methodology helped us better understand the natural characteristics of each individual colleague. Once we recognised these traits, we were able to identify and reassess aspects of our working relationships that required change. This enabled smoother collaboration and more effective teamwork.

After the training, we gained a clearer understanding of how differently emotions affect each of us. We identified the strengths within our team relationships, recognised existing differences and previously unseen risks, and agreed on shared principles of cooperation and behaviour. As a result, we clearly became a more mature, effective, and business-focused team.

This was a practical and deeply insightful journey of self-awareness that strengthened the team’s openness and courage to be authentic. The training helped us analyse the key personal barriers that had previously led to emotionally demanding situations, increased stress and additional time spent coordinating integrated goals and cross-departmental activities. The insights and methodology we gained became an ongoing tool for team development, a kind of navigation system for professional relationships.

I would recommend this training to leadership teams striving for high levels of performance, organisations aiming to create a more progressive workplace atmosphere and communication culture and companies seeking stronger engagement from leaders and different departments in achieving shared goals.

The Facet5 personality assessment exceeded all my expectations and was unlike any other assessment I had completed before. I was truly surprised by how accurately the Facet5 analysis reflected my personality traits, and with the support of the trainer, I was able to gain an even deeper understanding of myself and discover new aspects of my personality. This experience gave me a new perspective on the everyday challenges and decisions involved in working in the healthcare sector and managing various projects. Thanks to Facet5, I gained a better understanding of my team members, their strengths and weaknesses, which helped me delegate tasks more effectively and build a more balanced team capable of reaching its highest potential.

I am convinced that Facet5 is an essential tool for every leader and for anyone who wants to work in a successful, well-balanced team.

We have been working with IPM for several years and are very satisfied both with the assessment tools themselves and with the personality assessments and interpretations provided by Jūratė Verikaitė. The Facet5 and ToRQ tools help us select the right new employees, better understand the personalities of existing team members, and align people’s strengths with the most suitable roles.

It is also worth highlighting the accuracy of these assessment tools in describing people and supporting more informed hiring decisions. Our company additionally uses tailored solutions focused on career development and personal growth, and we also recommend the individual training programmes.

The experience provided by IPM has been, and continues to be, invaluable for future leaders in the healthcare sector.

We learned how to work more effectively by understanding both our own and our team members’ limits and “drivers.” We gained insight into how much resilience, engagement and energy we could expect from one another.

The extensive amount of information about each individual and the team, the structured way in which it was presented and the professional support in interpreting it gave us the opportunity not only to preserve the organisation, but also to continue moving towards a safer future for healthcare professionals and patients in Lithuania. It also gave us the opportunity to make more conscious choices about our own life paths.

Even the greatest sceptics were deeply impressed and inspired during the sessions. IPM’s experience and methods allowed us not only to analyse the present, but also to prepare for the future. From the very first session, the organisation’s leaders gained clarity about the challenges awaiting the team. Understanding what to prepare for most is an invaluable advantage in any difficult situation.

By discovering my strengths and weaknesses, understanding my leadership and management profile and potential, and accepting my personal qualities as valuable and necessary, I personally experienced a stronger ability to grow confidently in my career, work more effectively within a team, and pursue with greater determination the goals that matter most to me as a young doctor.

These Facet5 Practitioner accreditation training sessions enriched my experience in two important ways. Firstly, they gave me a deeper understanding of myself,  a ‘measurement’ of my strengths, the opportunity to see myself from other people’s perspectives, and a better understanding of certain behavioural patterns and areas for growth. This tool serves almost like a form of personal diagnostics, helping me gain a clearer understanding of myself. Secondly, as a practitioner of this methodology, I gained an excellent tool that I can use to guide clients and support more effective development.

I am extremely grateful to Jūratė Verikaitė for the sincere, open and professional way she shared her knowledge throughout both the training and practice sessions. The accreditation process was intensive, but thanks to Jūratė’s guidance, supervision and feedback, I was able to absorb the material gradually and effectively. The training was highly valuable, filled with practical insight and a wealth of knowledge drawn from the trainer’s extensive professional experience. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their colleagues.

Facet5 is a comprehensive personality assessment tool.

The assessment provides detailed insight into the individual strengths and weaknesses of team members.

The results are presented in a clear and easy-to-understand way, while the trainer-led sessions take the experience to another level.

I came to understand not only why I keep receiving speeding tickets, but also why I feel most comfortable when I have autonomy in decision-making.

Overall, Facet5 is an excellent tool for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of their personality and team dynamics.

In general, I have always been sceptical of personality assessments and any attempt to place people into predefined categories. Simply because I believe that each of us is unique and capable of changing beyond any label attached to us. Most personality assessments seemed to me like an attempt to fit the unlimited potential of a person into a particular framework, to “label” them. So it is no surprise that when I first heard about Facet5, I was also sceptical. I questioned whether Facet5 could truly identify the essence of a person’s behaviour, their core principles, and individuality.

Now I can confidently say - yes, it can. What is especially impressive is that the assessment takes only 15–20 minutes, yet it is almost impossible to manipulate the results. The results of the assessments simply left me speechless. In some cases, I could predict the results, while in others I expected something completely different. Yet every time the assessment proved accurate in revealing the core patterns of a person’s behaviour.

Another aspect I truly value about Facet5 is its practical application in working with people and supporting their growth. As someone who facilitates coaching sessions, I now understand how much time can be saved, for both myself and my clients, through an accurate initial assessment. It is similar to visiting a doctor: if the root cause is identified incorrectly, treatment may continue for a long time without real improvement. The same applies here. A clear and accurate understanding of an individual’s uniqueness significantly increases the effectiveness and value of coaching. As the saying goes, if you do not know which harbour you are sailing towards, no wind will be favourable. You can read thousands of books about success and happiness, attend countless seminars, or spend hours talking about who you want to become. But only when you truly understand who you are can you build on that foundation, choose your own path for growth and change, and create your own unique story of success and fulfilment. I do not doubt that Facet5 is not the only personality assessment available, but I truly believe it is one of the fastest and most accurate.

I am one of those who loves analysing myself and human relations, so phychology has always been my area of interest. However, I also always was quite sceptical about all kind of personality assesment tools. Everyhting changed when after joining Peikko in 2017, I met Jūratė and Finn from IPM, got FACET5 practitioner‘s acreditation and took over Peikko‘s FACET5 platform management.

At Peikko Group FACET5 personality assesment tool has been used for more than a decade, hundreds of colleagues from almost 30 countries in the world have their profiles, some of them even more than one or two! This tool helps us identify the potential of individual employees when planning their careers or making training plans. In recruitments it helps to better know the candidates and find the best possible match between the new hire and the position. FACET5 is also extremely valuable for better mutual understanding and accepting of our differences in the team: none of us is perfect, but our differences can help us learn from each other and achieve better results together!

I myself have maybe 5 FACET5 profiles by now and can clearly see how my profile was changing since the start of my career in Peikko, what external and internal factors influenced those changes, and how consciously I was influencing those changes myself. People often say it is impossible to change your personality, but my opinion is a bit different. Yes, we cannot change our temperament and the genetic patterns of how our nervous system works (by the way, to identify that I also went through numerous tests, such as DisC, Eneagram, MBTI etc.). But through conscious self-reflection and learning we can change our behavior and attitudes, and this will have influence on our personality. FACET5 tool can help us here, because it says that the FACET5 personality profile can change in response to the changing life conditions. If we do not develop our personality consciously, simply “life happens” and we change not necessarily to the direction which is healthy for us and our environment. Or if we are stubborn and do not want to change, the only thing that’s left is to do is complain about life which is moving forward and leaving us behind…

I am very happy that in Peikko we already have several internal FACET5 practitioners, which allows us to broadly utilize FACET5 tool in all Peikko world. Through all those years we already can see the long term positive influence to Peikko’s culture, organizational maturity and management quality.

And a separate endorsement from me goes to Jūratė. I am absolutely sure that the success of FACET5 system in Lithuania and neighbor countries mostly depends on IPM. Jūratė is a top notch professional and a great enthusiast of FACET5 system. She has an incredible ammount of knowledge and experience! We, the FACET5 practitioners of Peikko, have learned so much from Jūratė and continuously learn more and more. She is not only our consultant and teacher, but also a mentor, who is generously sharing her knowledge and insights, thus helping us to know the FACET5 tool even better and utilize it for the growth of ourselves and our colleagues in Peikko.

I completed the Facet5 assessment, which allowed me to look at myself and my potential from a different perspective, both professionally and personally. Most importantly, the insights and feedback provided by the consultants inspired me to focus on the areas that required the most attention and continuous practice in order to achieve the results I wanted. I understand very well that meaningful change does not happen over night, but every journey begins with the first step, and, in my view, I took that step towards personal growth after completing Facet5. I am grateful to the IPM consultants for presenting ther esults and development directions in such a clear and detailed way.

Almost every day, I work with people - motivating and inspiring them. After completing the Facet5 assessment and discussing the results, it became much clearer how to communicate information effectively to employees and partners, as well as how to better understand differences in behaviour and underlying motivations, because we are all different. As a result, my work itself became more engaging and enjoyable.

I also work with international partners, and since Facet5 is an international assessment, understanding personality profiles helps me prepare more effectively for smooth and productive negotiations.

In summary, of all the training and development experiences I have had, Facet5 has had the greatest impact on creating real and lasting change in both my professional and personal life.

I was really looking forward to this experience and came with my own expectations, as I have always been interested in the psychological side of people.

The experience itself and the time invested far exceeded my expectations in terms of depth, breadth and intensity. At the same time, I now understand that it is impossible to cover everything within the time available during the training, which is why I am especially grateful for such an effective and highly focused introduction, as well as for all the valuable material provided.

Jūratė, your energy, warmth, openness and consistency contributed enormously to the overall experience, both in terms of absorbing knowledge and creating a supportive atmosphere.

I would also like to highlight that although there was quite a lot of stepping outside the comfort zone, the colleagues and the overall atmosphere were wonderful, making the experience feel encouraging rather than uncomfortable. On the contrary, it became a valuable and enriching new experience.

I find our collaboration with IPM, especially with Jūratė, truly exceptional! You’re always just a call away, bringing positivity and dedication to finding the best solutions for any need. This makes the process not just easy but genuinely enjoyable. Whether it’s a quick question or in-depth support, you always provide prompt, helpful responses. Working with a team so committed adds real value and makes using your services even more rewarding.

As an HR professional and Facet5 practitioner, I can’t say enough about how versatile this tool is. Whether for recruitment, leadership development, coaching or team dynamics, Facet5 consistently delivers. The insights it provides into individual behaviors are spot-on, boosting self-awareness and improving communication. I especially love how Facet5 simplifies complex personality data into easy-to-understand pieces, making the whole process more engaging for both practitioners and clients.

The opportunity to participate in the Facet5 Accreditation training felt like discovering new, unseen colors.

It was an experience that not only expanded my knowledge but also gave me a completely new perspective on people and their behavior. The training helped me better understand what makes us similar and what makes us different - and this realization is incredibly valuable to me. The learning process itself was truly intensive, yet highly engaging and inspiring.

Jūrate - you are simply amazing! Your dedication, professionalism, and the ease with which you guided us through the process created a unique atmosphere that made me want to keep learning more and more. 🙂

For me personally, this was an invaluable experience - one that gave me not only knowledge but also a deeper understanding of myself, others, and workplace relationships. The entire program encourages you to be brave, take action, and embrace the opportunities that come from truly understanding yourself and others. Thank you for this wonderful time!❤️ And if anyone is still hesitating or wondering which training to choose – I wholeheartedly recommend taking this path.

I can confidently say that the training programmes organised by IPM have been among the most valuable learning experiences of my life. I would especially like to highlight Jūratė. Jūratė is not only a highly professional trainer, but also someone people naturally look up to. She creates a positive and supportive learning environment that encourages active participation. I would highly recommend IPM programmes to anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and a better understanding of others. I also recommend Jūratė as an exceptional trainer who not only shares knowledge, but also inspires meaningful personal growth.

I would really chase every company to have the „accredited HR manager“ on board who is able to give Facet5 feedback.
Not only is highly added to a person (able to more understand the „own personality“ ) to whom you give feedback but also great asset to have this tool used & promoted by Leaders / Managers.
As we as leaders more understand WHO (what personalities) we have in our teams, the more we are able to Understand, Motivate, Support… Achieve results through our unique Individuals we are working with.
If leader has this unique possibility & company really pays attention to such Leadership style, you can achieve tremendously a lot & your work becomes really passionate as you see People Growing.
