Expertise gets you into the room. Communication determines what happens next.
Most leaders do not struggle because they lack expertise. They struggle when the message they intend is not the message others receive.
A complete executive communication development experience.
You will not leave with a score and a report you have to interpret on your own.

Communication is not separate from leadership culture. It helps create it.
Unlike a standalone communication assessment, the ECI™ connects communication to leadership alignment, culture, and organizational performance through the CARE OS™ Behavioral Framework.
At the organizational level, CARE also represents Cultural Architecture and Readiness Evaluation—the system lens used to examine the conditions shaping how leadership is practiced and experienced.
Leadership effectiveness → Team and organizational impact
Have you experienced the meeting after the meeting?
The free Executive Communication Self-Check™ uses ten recognizable leadership moments to help you notice the gap between what you intend and what others may experience.
The Self-Check is designed for reflection—not diagnosis. The ECI™ takes you deeper.

Before you apply.
What is the ECI™?
The CARE Executive Communication Index™ is a research-informed assessment of ten executive communication competencies. It helps leaders understand how their communication shapes trust, executive presence, stakeholder alignment, culture, and organizational performance.
How is the ECI™ different from DiSC®?
DiSC® helps people understand behavioral and communication styles. The ECI™ focuses specifically on executive communication and how it shapes trust, alignment, influence, culture, stakeholder relationships, and leadership impact.
What is included in the complimentary pilot?
Selected leaders receive the ECI™ assessment, a personalized Leadership Impact Report™, an Executive SWOT, a Leadership Risk Profile™, a private executive debrief, and a focused 90-Day Development Plan—all at no cost during the founding pilot.
Is the founding cohort really complimentary?
Yes. Selected founding-cohort participants receive the complete ECI™ experience at no cost. In exchange, participants agree to complete the assessment, participate in a private executive debrief, activate their development plan, and provide thoughtful feedback about the experience.
Who should apply?
The founding cohort is designed for CEOs, executives, business owners, senior leaders, and high-potential emerging leaders who want to understand how their communication affects leadership effectiveness, stakeholder relationships, alignment, culture, and performance. It is also appropriate for leaders evaluating their next move—whether navigating the bridge, climbing the ladderdder, or accessing the elevator—and for women seeking to shorten the leadership runway from the front door to the top floor.
How long does the experience take?
The core ECI™ experience requires approximately one hour of structured time: 10–15 minutes for the assessment and 45 minutes for your private executive debrief. Afterward, your personalized 90-Day Development Plan supports intentional action at your own pace.
What happens after I apply?
Virtual Partner will review your application. If selected, you will receive your assessment link, completion instructions, information about what to expect, and details for scheduling your private executive debrief.
