Work with anyone, anywhere

Email info@beacon-star.com to express interest. We talk through your organisation's needs and settle on what suits. Once numbers are confirmed we send an invoice, and once paid, an online code your participants use to take the assessment. No email addresses are collected, and participants use only a first name and last initial for privacy. Everyone saves their profile and brings it to a session, where the full set of profiles and cohort-level insights guide the conversation. For the Cultural Intelligence Pre and Post test, ordering works the same way, with assessment access arranged through the Cultural Intelligence Center. If you'd like to talk it through first, the free 15-minute intro discussion is the easy place to start.

The PRISM Workstyle Assessment is $69 AUD per person and the PRISM Leadership Assessment is $119. The Cultural Intelligence Pre and Post is $119, covering both assessments. Combinations: Workstyle + CQ $159, Leadership + CQ $189. Sessions: a 15-minute intro Zoom is free, a one-hour debrief is $300, and an on-site half day is $1,500 plus travel where required. Invoiced once, no subscriptions.

No, and the difference matters. Personality tools such as the Big Five, MBTI or DISC describe relatively stable traits. PRISM measures observable workplace behaviour: how you actually make decisions, communicate, respond to authority, handle uncertainty and pace your work when deadlines tighten or expectations differ. Because these are learned practices rather than fixed traits, your profile can shift as your role and context change, and that is by design. The framework was developed through a literature review, qualitative research with leaders in 27 countries, and multi-year scale testing with more than 3,700 leaders and professionals.

A personalised PDF report plus participant workbook and facilitator guide. The Workstyle Profile scores you on Power, Risk, Identity, Speed and Messaging with practical guidance for each; the Leadership Profile adds your dominant and secondary archetypes and guidance for leading across difference.

Trailblazers lead with vision, Architects with process, Coaches with support, Guardians with protection, Directors with authority and Navigators with responsiveness. Your dominant archetype comes from the pattern across your five dimensions, identified through cluster analysis of profiles from around the world. No archetype is better than another, and an archetype is a lens, not a label. The report shows the strengths of your style and the situations where deliberately flexing it will serve your team better.

A validated CQ assessment taken before and after an experience, so growth is measured rather than assumed. Administered through the Cultural Intelligence Center and validated across 1,000+ peer-reviewed articles, it measures Drive, Knowledge, Strategy and Action against worldwide norms and includes a personal CQ Development Plan. $119 AUD per person covers both assessments, and accredited CQ instructors debrief at standard session prices.

Yes, and it is where the tools are strongest: CQ measures your capability across cultures, PRISM your workstyle in a team. A typical programme runs the CQ pre-assessment, PRISM Workstyle for the travelling group, then the CQ post on return to show growth. Combined pricing: Workstyle + CQ is $159 AUD per person, Leadership + CQ is $189, and one debrief can cover both sets of results.

Yes. In schools, Year 9 and above is a common starting point for student leaders, and the language links naturally with international curricula such as the International Baccalaureate and their focus on competencies of the future and ACARA's general capabilities. Students apply it to real situations where they're working in a team: student councils, house leadership, service projects, co-curricular groups. In universities it suits student leadership programmes, colleges, international business and other global courses, and study abroad cohorts, and extensive in-class resources at both secondary and university level unpack the profiles. Many run PRISM at induction so the group starts with a shared language, and the workbook and facilitator guide carry that conversation through the year.

PRISM was developed out of Boston University by a research team including David Livermore, PhD, founder of the Cultural Intelligence Center, drawing on fieldwork with more than 3,700 leaders and professionals across 27 countries between 2022 and 2025. It sits inside the Global TeamLEAD™ ecosystem, licensed exclusively through certified Master Practitioners. You can read the research brief or find more at davidlivermore.com/prism.

Assessment links are sent within two business days of payment, along with the participant workbook and facilitator guide, so your team can complete the assessment, read their reports and start working with the material straight away. The assessment itself takes about ten minutes to complete online. For whole-of-school rollouts we usually agree a launch window so all links go out together.

Yes. Our facilitators are based on the Gold Coast, Australia, and we deliver to schools and organisations globally over video. In-person work is available Australia-wide and on request internationally, with travel and accommodation costs added where required. The assessment itself runs online in any time zone.
