ExploreMeExploreme.eu is a brand of Professional Capital B.V.
ExploreMe is an assessment test which gauges a professional his/her commercial leadership abilities. The ideas behind the test are based upon insights from different fields such as psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics and epigenetics. Based upon your test results we provide you with advice about behavioral strategies needed to become a successful knowledge broker. In short: you will be able to discover yourself by taking this test. Hence, we invite you to discover and explore yourself. Remember, human behavioral is not deterministic, but people are capable of changing themselves and improve their capabilities. When you have insights in your capabilities, you will be able to change yourself and learn because we assume that you seek to achieve your own career which is seeking a higher position on the long-tail.
Our book “The resilient professional” describes the theory behind ExploreMe and also provides strategies which improves your professional leadership capabilities.
