Unlock the Power of Self-Discovery with the Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI)
The Journey to Better Leadership Starts with Self-Discovery
Understand Your Thinking. Elevate Your Performance.
The Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI) helps leaders and professionals look in the mirror – revealing the thinking patterns that drive behaviour, performance, and relationships.
Instead of labelling you with a fixed “type”, the LSI shows how you currently think and behave and how those patterns are helping or holding you back.
It turns self-discovery into a clear, practical pathway for growth.
Why Focus on Self Discovery?
Build Deep Self-Awareness
See the beliefs, assumptions, and thinking styles that sit behind your everyday decisions. Awareness becomes the starting point for intentional change and more constructive behaviour.
Turn Insight into Action
LSI feedback links mindset to real-world outcomes like effectiveness, relationships, and wellbeing – giving you clear direction on what to strengthen and what to shift.
Close the Gap Between Intention and Impact
Understand how you intend to show up versus how your behaviour is actually experienced by others, so you can lead more authentically and consistently.
Strengthen Relationships & Culture
When individuals grow more constructive, it lifts communication, collaboration, and psychological safety – shaping a healthier team and organisational culture.
Support Resilience and Sustainable Performance
Recognise unhelpful defensive patterns, rethink your responses to pressure, and develop more resilient, future-focused ways of working.
What is the Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI)?
Self-Discovery with Real-World Impact
The Life Styles Inventory™ is one of Australia’s most widely used development tools for leaders and professionals. It combines self-assessment and 360° feedback to show how your thinking and behaviour influence your effectiveness – from your own perspective and from the viewpoint of the people you work with.
Grounded in decades of research and used by thousands of organisations worldwide, LSI provides a proven framework for personal growth and leadership development – not a one-off event, but an ongoing journey.
