I know what behaviours I am looking for, but I am unsure how consistent we are.

Question 9 of 33

9. Question

Category: Clear Vision

The why behind the work I do in this organization is:

So powerful it has me leaping out of bed before the alarm and fired up each day.

Deliberately "put on" a peak state of confidence – it is there when you need it.

Feel triggered by anxiety several times a day (or at a constant simmer).

Question 11 of 33

11. Question

Category: Mindset

Your approach to new roles:

I tell myself that it is okay that I do not yet know how to do this-thing-I-have-never-done. I can learn these new skills and there will be mentors to help.

I say I can figure this out myself – there will be manuals and youtube videos that show the way.

I just dive in. I am a hands-on learner and manuals are for the weak.

I find myself procrastinating and making excuses.

I work very hard… to get someone else to do the task.

Question 12 of 33

12. Question

Category: Mindset

When it comes to control over your work:

I pride myself on my ability to put out fires and be there for 'emergencies'.

I block off my time and shut out distractions to get the big things done.

I have a plan that I respect that covers my priorities, but I also have the flexibility to change when the unexpected happens (and still feel a sense of control).

The constant interruptions frustrate me and hijack my day.

Question 13 of 33

13. Question

Category: Mindset

When you consider a work day that is filled with difficult clients and overflowing with work, how do you talk to yourself?

Why does this always happen to me? I can't handle days like this.

Oh well, I can never get everything done anyway.

I will choose to focus on the boundaries I have for appointment length, process, and priorities and work with compassion and self-respect.

I am responsible for my efforts, not the results that the client receives.

I hate this job. It is killing me.

Question 14 of 33

14. Question

Category: Mindset

How do you feel about your responsibilities in your new role?

Excited to grow into the opportunity and openly seeking mentors and support.

Scared that I will screw up and I feel over my head much of the time (while knowing "that is normal" at first).

Feel like any day someone is going to figure out I am not qualified for this role.

Find myself relying on baffling with BS and faking expertise.

Question 15 of 33

15. Question

Category: Mindset

What is the story you tell yourself when things go wrong in a new task? Duty? Skill?

I can seek out ways to become better at this – read the manual, ask for support.

I tell myself I am just not good at this.

I find myself angry that someone asked me to do something outside my abilities.

I find myself blaming someone else, the software, the process, the system…

Question 16 of 33

16. Question

Category: Mindset

How does gratitude show up in your day?

I follow a daily ritual of gratitude meditation and easily fill the list.

I tell myself "this too shall pass".

I journal about my day in the evening usually and often find something to be happy about.

I feel that the Attitude of Gratitude is a weak, Pollyanna attitude of inaction.

Question 17 of 33

17. Question

Category: Mindset

When you complete a significant task, what next?

There are no significant tasks, just things to be done.

I check it off the list and move on.

I check it off with gusto (if it wasn't on the list I write it in just so I can check it off with gusto)! Then I take a short break to celebrate.

I celebrate and share my success with others – I accept their compliments.

I take the rest of the day (or week) off to celebrate.

As you consider the resources you have (strength, confidence, reliability, steadfast, ethical, bold, courageous, compassionate, kind, generous, grateful, calm, resilient) how do you think you measure up?

Some days I am at my best and "resourced" fully – but those days seem few and far between.

Sometimes I think I am weak or broken – others seem to have it so easy.

When I need to "bring it" I know I can count on me.

I am living my bliss and a current of joy and energy runs through my life most of the time.

When I look at the results I am achieving in my life and organization I notice:

Question 21 of 33

21. Question

Category: Communication

If I had to describe the benefits or my organization right this second:

I could easily and clearly express this in 30-60 seconds in a powerful way and with confidence – and illustrate with a short client success story.

I would like to take a couple of minutes to think about this. Can I just read you our mission statement?

I hate it when I have to introduce myself at networking events – I get so anxious.

I really don't have an elevator pitch at all. I have nothing written in hopes that will prevent me from having to ever speak in public.

When I consider how I run meetings, the following is closest to true.

Meetings are a necessary evil – I worry about that one person who hijacks the agenda and I like to get through them as fast as possible.

I use meetings as a good way to provide training and download information.

Meetings allow us to really connect and build consensus.

Different meetings have different purposes. I run mine with agendas, respectful and inclusive collaboration, clear actions/outcomes and open communication about progress.

I just wing it and let the reporter or audience decide what is important.

I proactively set an outcome for every speaking opportunity.

I really need to start thinking about public relations.

Question 31 of 33

31. Question

Category: Mindset

How have you made investing time money and energy into personal development a part of your life in the past year?

I try to be the best person I can.

I read books on personal development sometimes but I don't feel like the information is transforming me in the way that it promises.

I invest 10% of my income and 10% of each day on developing myself. I have a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly set of activities that I regularly complete to keep getting better.

I have attended weekend or 5-day seminars that promise growth and experience some change, but it is hard to live the changes when I get back to "real life".

Question 32 of 33

32. Question

Category: Mindset

When you think of the past year, or month, or week. What has been your attitude toward learning?

You know what they say, you learn something new every day, so I am probably learning.

I enjoy learning and go to any training that is convenient and free or inexpensive. The experience I gain each day helps my learning deepen.

I have a flexible plan of what I am learning and invest a consistent percentage of my time and money into continuing education. I stay on track while being open to discovering new skills and knowledge that fit.

I am already done my education. I have a degree, I don't need anything else.

Question 33 of 33

33. Question

Category: Communication

When you think of how you prepare to speak in front of a group or on media, which of the following best applies?

I try not to think about it in advance, I just wing it (and tell myself it will sound more natural that way).

I think about why am I speaking and write out my presentations word for word, memorize them but bring my notes in case I go blank.

I plan the outcomes desired from each opportunity – from that it is easy to write some key pieces: stories and sound bites. I practice a few times and then I bring my bullet points along.

I work with a coach to create powerful pieces with a variety of purposes: inspiration, connection and action. I practice the intro and powerful confusion word for word and work from 3 key points to flesh out the rest. I work in deliberate gestures, vocal variety, appeals to emotion, pauses and emphasis to carry my audience through.
