Can self-knowledge accelerate the development of talents? This is the entire subject of the case study that Thomas International, a global leader in talent assessment, dedicates to NB & Associés EquiCoach: the way we use its behavioral tests to accelerate our clients’ awareness. This recognition touches us and compels us.
Rather than summarizing it, we invite you to read it in its entirety. Here, we want to share with you what it says about our conviction: True leaders know each other.

A recognition that gives full legitimacy to our approach
Being highlighted by Thomas International is not just a publicity stunt. It is the validation, by an actor who draws on more than 45 years of science, of a method that we build every day with our clients: starting from who you really are to get where you really want to go.
Thanks to the Thomas team for the quality of this work, which says more than we could ever know: self-knowledge is the first lever for sustainable performance and talent development.
The starting point: what you believe about yourself
Impulsive decisions, a saturated mind → a step back to make the right decision.
«I know myself by heart»
You think you can handle everything. You think you know yourself inside out. Yet it is 17:00, and you have just decided on an emergency matter. At the end of the day, the same question comes up: «Why did I react like that?»
This is the daily reality for many executives, managers and sales representatives that we support:
-
- difficult situations to decipher; ;
-
- decisions made too quickly; ;
-
- an overload of mental burdens.
«Consciousness is an intellectual honesty. Clarity and lucidity to make a decision at 17 o’clock.»
Nadia Bazille, founder of NB & Associés
The revelation: self-knowledge through science
What you believe about yourself → what science reveals.
And what if, in reality, you only knew part of yourself?
Coaching sessions bring awareness to the surface, but they take time. To go faster and more effectively, we have placed the Thomas personality test at the core of our coaching sessions. Science reveals who you really are: unfiltered, without judgment, with facts.

Nadia Bazille, in the Thomas International case study
Behavioral test: from self-knowledge to action
Unnamed blockages → a concrete awareness.
To strengthen your awareness, a must-have: self-knowledge. Strengths, areas of vigilance, development priorities: the test makes visible what was holding you back without being said. Our advice: start with a Thomas behavior test, with or without feedback.
The behavioral test alone
Your profile, factual and readable, to take stock of your situation independently and to take an initial objective look at your functioning.
The behavioral test with restitution (individual or collective)
Together, we decipher your strengths, areas of vigilance, and priorities to transform the diagnosis into a personalized action plan.
Our various solutions are designed to make this process easier for you and integrate with your talent management policy, both individually and as a team.
Acceleration or trajectory: our signature training programs
At NB & Associés, we offer a unique approach to help turn your managers into leaders who know each other, make decisions based on consensus, and perform well over the long term.
Acceleration, alongside the horse
When faced with a horse, the awareness is immediate: a few seconds and everything becomes clear. The horse does not judge; it reacts to who you are, not to what you show. Always on foot, with no equestrian training required.
The trajectory in theaters
Whether in training or coaching, awareness is built and becomes ingrained over time, session after session, closer to your real-world challenges.
Both, depending on your interests
Our signature training programs combine acceleration and trajectory. The horse can even bring the final touch to an already started course: the moment when everything comes into focus. Pioneering and unprecedented, they adapt to your theme, not the other way around.
«You cannot become what you want to become by remaining what you are.»
John F. Kennedy
And where do you start?
Getting to know one another to act better. Acting to perform better. Performing to live better. This is what we build together with our clients, with the horse as a catalyst and science as a guide.
