The R.I.S.E. Index™

Begin with how you lead.

The R.I.S.E. Index™ is a leadership assessment grounded in the Renfaut™ Praxis Paradigm. It helps leaders understand how their everyday practices align with equity-centered transformation.

What it is

A leadership profile, not a personality test.

The R.I.S.E. Index™ focuses on leadership practice. It helps leaders reflect on how they see systems, engage uncertainty, act with courage, shift organizational conditions, and sustain renewal over time.

Participants receive a personalized Leadership Profile that translates assessment results into practical insight and next steps for growth.
