Do you want to know what drives you, what motivates you and what you are actually good at?
Then you must first get to know yourself well. Why do you do the things you do? Why do you like the things you like?
The best way to find out is by talking, a lot. Talking with family, friends and acquaintances, but also with coaches, career counselors, colleagues, for example. And by taking up training. All the information that you get from this is listed for yourself over time, and then one day, you will get to know yourself.
You can’t say when you will know, but you will know. It’s like ‘knowing’ when you started loving your wife.
Simon Sinek
My values to trigger different thinking:
1) I believe in building trust before achieving results: working with each other instead of competing against each other.
2) I believe the right mindset is needed before any tool can be of help: having a dialogue with each other instead of having a discussion.
3) I believe in coaching rather than teaching: informing authentically and for the long term instead of convincing as fast as possible.
4) I believe in initiative by allowing people to try and learn from their mistakes, not forcing them to just do as told: making change sustainable instead of creating a temporary containment.
5) I believe in having progression in results rather than hard target hitting: playing the infinite game instead of winning the finite game.
What people said about my approach:
“Driven! By strong communication and through good listening, pain points are identified and other ideas are not lost sight of”.
“Strong, core presentation, keeping an eye on the audience & stakeholders for which it is being presented”.
“Open, transparent and a good example for others and open to feedback”.
“Structured, standardized & systematic with knowledge, logically and conceptually attuned to the end user”.
“Thanks for being the example and showing us in a fun natural way how change can stick”.
“You really know how to bring change to life with full respect to all colleagues on all levels”.
Personal Insights test results
There are tests that you can use to gain more insight into who you are. I have never really been a fan of them, but I was more convinced by one specific test. It is the test of Insights. What I read in the result felt so right that this is one of the few tests that I can identify myself with. As they call it, I am an ‘Observing Reformer’. For more information, see the Insights website.
