“We each have times when we are at our best. However, we also all have a tendency to focus on our short-comings. The purpose of @MyBest is to help a person learn more about the positive qualities others see in them, and particularly when they have seen them at their best, to assist them to consider how they could be at their best as often as possible.”
The @MyBest tool enables you to discover and more effectively use your ‘best self’ qualities from times when you have been at your best and making a contribution that has been especially admired and valued by others, whether this be at work, home, with friends or elsewhere.
Gathering feedback
The first step is to gather feedback from a range people who know you well, either now or from the past. Your nominees can include current and past colleagues or mentors, partners, friends, clients, even possibly parents, relatives and children. The feedback collection process usually lasts for up to 3 weeks.
Your @MyBest report
At the end of the feedback collection process, your best self stories are collated into a report. This report is entirely confidential and not seen by or given to anyone other than you. A workbook accompanies the report, to help you analyse your feedback and create an action plan.
Debrief session
There is an optional report debrief session, usually in a workshop format, when you analyse the feedback you receive and work on how to apply the learning from it. The instrument can also be used as a basis for for one-to-one coaching.
