The Challenge

You're good at what you do. So why does communication still feel like guesswork?

You’ve prepared. You’ve adapted. You’ve tried harder. And yet — some conversations still go sideways.

E

You present a perfectly logical idea and someone pushes back for no apparent reason.

E

You motivate one team member brilliantly and can’t reach another using the exact same approach.

E

You know what you want to achieve. Getting others on board is the harder part.

E

You adapt your style — but you’re still guessing at what people actually need to hear.

The frustrating part? It’s not about trying harder. What’s missing is the map — a precise, practical system for understanding what actually drives this person, in this context, right now.

Ready to stop guessing — and start knowing?

What makes this different

This is not a personality profile.

You’ve probably taken one before — DISC, Myers-Briggs, Enneagram. Interesting. But they assign you a fixed type and leave you there. The LAB Profile® works on a completely different principle.

Standard Personality ProfilesThe LAB Profile®
Assign you a fixed type based on personalityShows how you're motivated right now, in this specific context
Treat motivation as a permanent traitRecognises that what drives you shifts — by situation, relationship, and role
Interesting to learn. Often hard to apply.Gives you the exact language to use with each person, starting today
One fixed label across all contexts: work, home, conflictContext-specific: who you're with, what you're doing, where and when — all matter
How the LAB Profile® differs from standard personality assessments.
Already familiar with NLP and Meta Programs? The LAB Profile® takes those concepts into applied territory that most NLP training never reaches — precise, context-sensitive language patterns with immediate results in leadership, sales, coaching, hiring, and conflict resolution. Most NLP practitioners are surprised by how much further this goes, and how quickly it works in practice.

Shelle Rose Charvet

“Change your words. Change their minds.”

I am the international expert on Influencing Language — researching, teaching, and applying it across more than 30 countries for over 30 years. I wrote Words That Change Minds — the definitive book on the LAB Profile®, a Forbes Best Management Book now available in 20 languages.

The LAB Profile® was created by Rodger Bailey. I wrote the book on how to use it — then spent three decades developing its real-world applications across leadership, sales, coaching, recruitment, conflict resolution, and organisational change.

I’m not here to tell you who you are. I’m here to give you the map — so you can stop guessing and start communicating with precision.

Your results

What you'll discover about yourself

Your LAB Profile® is not a life sentence — what motivates you shifts by context. Who you’re with, what you’re doing, where and when: all of it matters. That’s precisely what makes this so useful.

Motivation pattern

What direction are you moving in?

Do you get energised by goals and what you want to achieve — or by preventing problems and avoiding what you don’t want?
Motivation pattern

Where does your conviction come from?

Do you trust your own judgement — or do you need feedback and evidence from others to feel on track?
Motivation pattern

Possibilities, or a proven process?

Are you drawn to alternatives and new ideas — or do you need a reliable step-by-step procedure to do your best work?
Motivation pattern

People or outcomes?

Do you focus on tasks, systems, and results — or on people, relationships, and how everyone feels?

Who this is for

  • Build high-performance teams by design, not luck
If you coach, consult, or sell
  • Get to the real motivation behind what clients say they want

The difference it makes

What changes when you know this

These are the outcomes my community reports after learning to apply the LAB Profile® — in real work, with real people, from day one.

Your words land — with less effort

You stop explaining yourself three ways hoping one sticks. You use the specific language that works for this person, in this moment.

Resistance drops. Cooperation rises.

People feel heard because you’re meeting them where they actually are — not where you assumed they’d be.

You understand why people do what they do

The colleague who won’t commit. The client who goes quiet. The team member who ignores feedback. Suddenly, it all makes sense.

You lead, sell, and coach with precision

Whether building a team, closing a deal, or coaching a client — you have a map. Influence becomes a skill, not a talent.

After your profile, you’ll discover how to use these patterns with the people who push back the most — your most skeptical colleagues, clients, and decision-makers. I’ll show you exactly how, once you’ve seen your results.

What people say

{

Everything is actionable. Your course is dense and fun to go through. I’m so grateful you replicate what theory defines into a step-by-step growing journey. It’s my turn to practise in my daily life so that it becomes as natural as breathing.

Aoi Takahashi
Operations Strategy Specialist, Japan

{

I was helping our Autism Consultants prepare for coaching their neurodivergent teams. What was most rewarding was seeing their perspective shift — from finding it challenging to communicate, to being excited to start speaking their team’s language. This makes a huge impact on neuroinclusion at work.

Matija Squire
Motivational Science Lead, Untapped Talent, Sydney, Australia

The Advanced Business Influence course is one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. Each short lesson builds on the previous ones, and before you know it you have developed powerful skills that you never imagined you could acquire so quickly and so easily.

I can ensure that ABI is a must program for everyone seeking to master their communication skills. Words have changed my mind and now they are changing the minds of my clients and students through my coaching and training.

Yerzhan Bilyalov
Founding Partner, NYCoaching, Almaty, Kazakhstan

This program has helped me find my niche and audience, make optimal use of the LAB Profile® in marketing, and address topics to my potential clients in their appropriate way and style. I gained a lot of precious insights.

At first I was unsure if I would be a good fit — I had the impression the program was tailored to corporate environments and life coaches. I am living my reward every morning when I watch a new video and learn from you.

Marcia Brasini
Body and Soul Silversmith, Gettysburg, USA

I can tell you that my overall feeling about the program is that it is very valuable — it is making a difference in the way I approach others and myself, and I know it will make a real difference in my relationships. I just love your program.

Common questions

Questions people ask before taking the assessment

What is the LAB Profile®?

The LAB Profile® (Language and Behavior Profile) is a practical system for understanding how people get motivated, make decisions, and process information — created by Rodger Bailey and developed by Shelle Rose Charvet.

Unlike personality tests, it shows how your patterns shift depending on context — who you are with, what you are doing, where and when. It covers 14 patterns across two categories: Motivation Patterns and Productivity Patterns.

How is this different from Myers-Briggs, DISC, or the Enneagram?

Standard personality profiles assign you a fixed type based on who you are. The LAB Profile® is context-specific — it shows how you are motivated right now, in a particular situation.

It also gives you specific Influencing Language to use with other people based on their patterns — making it immediately practical, not just interesting.

Is my profile permanent? Will my patterns change?

No — your LAB Profile® is not a life sentence. What motivates you shifts by context. The same person can have different patterns at work versus at home, in a routine situation versus under pressure, or when working alone versus with a team.

This context-sensitivity is what makes the LAB Profile® so precise and so much more useful than a static personality label.

Who created the LAB Profile®?

The LAB Profile® was created by Rodger Bailey, based on NLP Meta Programs. I wrote the definitive book on how to use it — Words That Change Minds — now a Forbes Best Management Book available in 20 languages.

I’ve spent over 30 years developing practical applications of the LAB Profile® across leadership, sales, coaching, recruiting, and organisational change in more than 30 countries.

What will I receive after completing the assessment?

You’ll receive a personalised report covering all 14 LAB Profile® patterns — 6 Motivation Patterns and 8 Productivity Patterns. Each pattern includes what it means for you, how it shows up in your work, and practical recommendations.

Results are delivered instantly. No credit card required. The assessment takes about 10 minutes.

I already know NLP and Meta Programs. Will this teach me anything new?

Yes. The LAB Profile® takes NLP Meta Programs into applied territory that most NLP training never reaches — precise, context-sensitive language patterns with immediate practical results.

Most NLP practitioners are surprised by how much further this goes, and how quickly it works in real conversations.

How long does the assessment take?

About 10 minutes. You choose a work context before starting, then answer a series of questions. There are no right or wrong answers — only your patterns. Results are delivered instantly. Completely free, no credit card required.
