About Dr. Tom Tavantzis

In my early '70's clinical/counseling training in family and group systems psychotherapy at the Athenian Institute of Anthropos, Athens, Greece my passion for helping well-functioning people learn and develop their inner strengths was ignited. In the early '90's in search of a tool to assist in realizing my Strength-based passion focus I came across a little know assessment-the Highlands Ability Battery (HAB). This tool became a main way to bring my focus on developing strengths to a new objective height. Now after 30+ years and thousands of hours using this tool with people from ages 16-60 at all different levels within organizations (leaders, teams, HiPOs) as well as those individuals who seek career direction (HS, College, Graduate, Career changers)I know I made the right decisions so many years ago! 30 years later I still feel the excitement, joy and deep satisfaction in exploring and helping another person who has taken the HAB in understanding one's natural strengths and talent potentials.Our company, IMD, founded in 1986 has worked with both national and global companies. We have primarily worked with developing leaders and teams within pharmaceutical, communications, technological and energy industries.Strength-based Developmental Models for organizations, leaders and teamsCutting edge Strength-based assessment tools Personality workplace surveyExecutive CoachingCareer DevelopmentLeadership DevelopmentAssessmentTalent ManagementCareer VisionCareer ChangeWork fitOrganizational changeTeam DevelopmentDeveloping competency models 360 surveys for organizational developmentResiliency and Stress management
