This workshop includes

Self-awareness isn’t soft, it’s foundational. When people don’t have a clear internal compass, it shows up in subtle but costly ways:

Unclear strengths and blind spots make it harder to show up as a leader
Low self-awareness fuels burnout, misalignment, and reactive decision-making
People chase goals that don’t match their values

Cost to the business?

When people can’t lead themselves, they struggle to lead others. You see misaligned actions, inconsistent performance, and disengagement.

What's missing?

A personal navigation system, built with tools and frameworks that deepen self-awareness, uncover origin stories, and surface unique mental patterns.

In short, the clarity to lead yourself.

About this workshop

By exploring what drives and drains them, they’ll develop a clearer understanding of how they show up in different contexts. They’ll leave with deeper self-awareness and a practical foundation for navigating challenges with greater clarity and purpose.

Agenda

1 - Why Self-Awareness Matters

Fast hook to show why self-awareness is foundational

You’ll kick off with a brief clip or story that shows how unclear internal patterns lead to misalignment, reactive choices, or burnout. This grounding moment highlights why self-awareness isn’t just personal – it’s essential for showing up clearly and leading effectively across all areas of life.

2 - Origin Stories

Reflect on key life experiences to uncover patterns and drivers

You’ll examine your personal experiences across three key areas: Work, Love, and Energy. Through guided prompts, you’ll identify patterns, drivers, and beliefs that have shaped the way you respond to challenge and opportunity.

3 - Take Control with High Agency

Learn what it means to act with high agency and why it matters

You’ll explore what high agency looks like in action, then you’ll reflect on how your mindset influences your ability to lead yourself. You’ll map where you fall on the agency/skill matrix and consider how to shift your mindset to take more ownership of your growth and goals.

4 - Write Your Vision Story

Create a vivid picture of where you're headed

Now it’s your turn to draft your own personal vision story. You’ll weave together your pre-work reflections and aspirations into a present-tense narrative that connects your goals to your values and purpose.

5 - Align Your Vision

Align your personal vision to your team’s goals

You’ll pair up to share your vision story and explore how it connects to your team or company’s values.

6 - Reflect & Commit

Group debrief and personal action commitments

You’ll wrap with a group debrief to surface key takeaways from the session. Then, you’ll commit to one mindset shift, habit, or action you’ll carry forward to strengthen your self-awareness and personal leadership. You’ll also get a follow-up prompt to continue the reflection with your manager or coach.
