"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom"

aristotle

Aristotle - Greek Philosopher and Polymath - 384 BCE to 324 BCE

There are many ways of knowing where you are

you are here
reflection

Personal reflection

You can spend time by yourself to assess where you are. A form of reflective awareness and consciousness, we witness ourselves from afar as a third person. In sanskrit this term is called 'Sthita pragnya'. Sthita means being steady and pragnya means getting wisdom. 

So how to we do this?  We self-observe and evaluate our current state, emotional and learning processes, perceptions, behaviors and habits. It enlightens us about how we came to where we are, motivations, feelings, thoughts and desires. 

 

Verbal 360

Verbal 360 is a process where a 360 view of how others see you is collated and structured. There is a saying that 'perception is reality' and this process consolidates perception.

So how to we do this?  A trusted advisor, mentor or coach speaks with other people, somewhere between seven to ten typically your boss, peers and team members and asks a set of very few questions. The answers are all confidentially summarized and de-briefed to you. This determines where others see you (perception) and with how you see yourself (reality).

Formal 360s

There are many formal assessment tools for individuals – Hogan, DISC, various 360 and 180 methods, Genos emotional tools, personality tools, predictive index, etc.

So how to we do this?  A trained and certified individual - typically a leadership coach, works with you and determines who is part of the survey. An online system sends out these surveys and gathers the answers anonymously and collates into a confidential report that only you and the facilitator sees. There is a debrief session where you discover insights, actions and maybe get some surprises feedback!
