Known By Name.
Reputation. Measured.

Known By Name is not a personality test. It does not tell you who you are. It tells you how others experience you, which is the thing that actually drives your reputation, your relationships, and your results at work.

Why observable behaviour, not personality

Personality is who you are. Behaviour is what others notice.

Personality tools categorise how you think and what you prefer. They are useful for self-awareness. What they cannot tell you is what your colleagues actually notice when they interact with you, what they say about you when you leave the room, or whether the impression you make matches the one you intend.

Known By Name measures observable behaviour. The things that are nameable, specific, and, critically, changeable. That distinction is what makes the program developmental rather than merely descriptive.You leave knowing not just who you are, but what to do differently.

the five pillars

Five behaviours that determine how people experience you at work.

How people experience you is rarely accidental. It is shaped by repeated behaviours over time. The 5Rs are the five that have the greatest impact on whether you are noticed, trusted, remembered, and relied on.

reach
How visible and accessible you are.
Do people in the right rooms know who you are and what you stand for?

Reach is about the deliberate, consistent effort to be present and known beyond your immediate circle.

recall
How memorable you are.
When your name comes up, what do others associate with you? Is it what you want?

Recall is shaped bythe consistency and clarity of how you show up across different interactions and audiences.

regard
The respect others hold for you.
Do people feel valued in their interactions with you?

Regard is often what separates good performers from great leaders, and is frequently the dimension with the largest gap between self-perception and how others experience you.

Reliability
how trusted you are to follow through.
Competence matters, but consistency is what builds long-term credibility.

Reliability is about the gap, or absence of a gap, between what you commit to and what you deliver.

Resonance
How well you connect.
Does your communication style, energy, and presence land well with the people around you?

Resonance is about whether people leave interactions with you feeling heard, valued, and engage...or not.
How each component works

The methodology behind the four components.

The 360 assessment
Results are aggregated into a personalised report showing where self-perception aligns with how others see your person, and where the gaps are.
The workshop
Team results are examined together so common themes become visible and development planning is grounded in what is actually showing up across your people.
1:1 coaching
Individual sessions that use each person's 360 data as the starting point. Every conversation follows the CORE framework and ends with a specific, owned action.
ai role play
Practice in realistic scenarios built around the behaviours identified in the 360. Feedback is immediate and specific.
your clear view

A detailed picture and a plan you can act on straight away.

You receive a personalised report across all five pillars of the 5R framework. It shows where your self-perception aligns with how others see you, and where the gaps are. It is specific, behavioural, and actionable.

You then work through a structured debrief with a Catalyst facilitator and build a focused action plan targeting the pillars with the most impact on your reputation and results. You leave knowing exactly where to focus.

faqs

Common questions about the KBN 
methodology

How does Known By Name compare to other 360 tools?
Most 360 tools produce a report and stop there. Known By Name uses the 360 as the starting point for a structured development journey including a workshop, coaching, and AI-powered practice built around the results. The goal is behaviour change, not a report that gets filed away.
Is CORE used in group coaching as well as individual sessions?
 Yes. The framework translates to group settings. Context and Observation are worked through collectively, with each participant contributing their perspective. Response and Evolve commitments are individual.
Can leaders use the CORE framework with their own teams?
Yes. Teaching leaders to use CORE in their own coaching conversations is a core component of our leadership development work. A manager using CORE consistently will coach more effectively than one relying on instinct. Not because the framework is complicated, but because it removes the two biggest failure modes. Jumping to solutions before the problem is understood. Ending conversations without a clear next step.
