The Perspective Viewfinder™ Leadership Assessment
See how your leaders show up at work, at home, and under pressure.
The Viewfinder measures each leader in two domains, Professional and Personal, on an ordinary day and when pressure hits. Leaders see where their two worlds differ, where stress narrows their view, and what they can do about it.
Created by Ramsey Bergeron, Leadership Performance and Resilience Strategist and ICF-certified coach, whose clients include the US Army, First Student, Black Hills Energy, and Hawaii Pacific Health.
One leader. Two worlds.
Are you more analytical at home and more tuned in at work?
Under pressure, do you blame others at work and yourself at home?
Are you curious and patient with your team, then quick to fix everything once you walk in the door?
Are you calm and steady at work, then second-guessing yourself at the kitchen table?
Does a hard morning at home follow you into your first meeting?
"I feel like I'm the same person regardless of the circumstance, but I am definitely not."
Perspective Viewfinder beta participant
Now picture that across your leadership team. The Viewfinder shows each leader where their two worlds differ, how pressure changes both, and what they can do about it.
Under pressure, everyone zooms in.
Your natural vision takes in a wide field. A microscope sees one thing at enormous magnification and nothing else. Both are precision instruments, and neither is broken. What separates them is how much of the world they let in.
Under pressure, your field narrows to microscope range. One email, one comment, one missed number fills the whole view, and it may have been small when you started looking at it.
Sound familiar?
Every leader has seven Lenses. A collapse leaves them looking through one or two. They can still see. They just can't see anything else.
The Viewfinder gives every leader one question to ask in the moment: What Lens am I in right now, and is it serving me?
Seven Lenses. One view.
Every leader sees through seven Lenses, from the most contracted to the most expansive. No Lens is good or bad.
A leader's Perspective is what they see when several of them overlap, and the Viewfinder shows which Lenses carry that view at work, at home, and under pressure.
The debrief walks each leader through all seven.

What their field collapses to under pressure, and where they go first, in each domain.
Stress Gap
One number for how far their view moves between the two, and a personal benchmark for a retake, so you can measure change after the work.

What leaders say
"We all deal with stress, and I wasn't handling it well. Ramsey's assessment showed me how to identify which Lens my stress was coming through, and the choices I have for dealing with it effectively. It was accurate, and Ramsey explains it in a way that is simple, powerful, and memorable. My biggest takeaway: I can address my stress with confidence and turn it into calm, clear thinking."
