Your story, in your words
The RIVET™ Readiness Assessment
Something changed. Now find out if you're ready.
Maybe it was one moment: the divorce, the layoff, the betrayal, the loss. Maybe it was ten thousand small ones. Either way, somewhere along the line you stopped trusting your own voice. In about seven minutes, this assessment helps you name what changed, why it matters now, and whether you're ready for six months of private coaching to restore your clarity, your authority, and your ability to act.
There are no right answers here. Only honest ones.

Readiness for RIVET™
Your result
First things first
You deserve support that matches what you're carrying right now.
You told us that most days, getting through the day takes everything you have. That's important, and it deserves care. Coaching is built for people who are steady enough to build. Right now, the most powerful step is support from a licensed mental health professional, your doctor, or someone you trust. That isn't a detour. It's the foundation.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the US), or contact your local emergency number.
RIVET™ will be here. When your days feel steadier, come back and take this again.

Deondriea will read your story personally. If it's a fit, you'll hear from her team with an invitation to a private conversation. In the meantime, download your readiness report and keep it somewhere you'll see it.
The RIVET™ Readiness Assessment is a reflective tool, not a psychological or clinical assessment. RIVET™ is coaching, not therapy. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 in the US, or contact your local emergency number.
About the RIVET™ Readiness Assessment
What is the RIVET™ Readiness Assessment?
It is a free, seven-minute assessment by certified confidence and executive coach Deondriea Cantrice. It helps you name what changed in your life, why it matters now, and whether you are ready for RIVET™, her six-month private coaching program for people experiencing confidence erosion. Completing it is the first step before applying.
Why do I need an assessment before applying to RIVET™?
RIVET™ accepts only twelve clients a year, and six months of private coaching asks a lot of each person. The assessment isn't a gate to keep you out. It makes sure that when you start, the timing, capacity, and commitment are in place for you to finish.
What does the assessment measure?
It measures readiness in five parts: What changed, Why now, Ownership, Capacity, and Commitment. You also see where coaching would most likely begin for you: clarity, authority, or action.
What happens after I finish?
You get your readiness result, a five-part readiness profile, your story reflected back in your own words, and a downloadable readiness report. If you're ready, you can apply right on the results page. Deondriea reviews every application personally, and if it's a fit, you'll be invited to a private conversation.
What if my results say I'm not ready yet?
Not yet isn't no. You'll get a short plan for the next 90 days, including Deondriea's books, events, and free resources, and you can retake the assessment when you're ready. You can still choose to apply.
Is RIVET™ therapy?
No. RIVET™ is coaching, not therapy. It's built for people who are functioning but not living the way they want. If getting through the day takes everything you have, please start with a licensed mental health professional. If you're in crisis in the US, call or text 988.
Does a high score guarantee a seat in RIVET™?
No. With twelve seats a year, every application is reviewed personally, and the private conversation decides fit for both of you. A strong result means you're ready to take the next step.
Are my answers private?
Your answers are saved only in your browser so you can pick up where you left off. They are shared with Deondriea only if you submit your application.
