Discover Your Best Self — Through the Eyes of Others
A research-backed exercise grounded in 15+ years of Positive Psychology and Positive Organizational Scholarship. Trusted by organizations around the world, we help leaders, teachers, and employees uncover deep, unique strengths to grow with intention.
Why It Matters
Hear from those who have experienced the transformative power of seeing themselves through others' eyes
"[The stories I received] tended to pull me into the realm of possibility and hope. It provided me with clues for making a greater and more positive difference on the world."
"Most of the stories people shared were about little moments I had forgotten or didn't even think about. I saw how much it meant to other people, even though it wasn't in my line of sight."
"The RBSE helped me recognize patterns in my leadership that I was completely blind to. It's changed how I approach my team and my career."
"I've done many assessments, but none revealed things about myself that I couldn't see. The stories people shared will stay with me forever."
"What comes easy to us, we overlook or discount. The RBSE showed me my impact strengths that were energizing me without even knowing it."
"This is such a rare experience — like graduations or weddings where people celebrate who you are. But this focused purely on my strengths and contributions."
What It Means
Understand how to leverage your unique strengths
Research shows it's a myth that we need to be well-rounded. In reality, to be truly high-performing, we need a special combination of skills and unique talents. The RBSE gives you the opportunity to discover YOUR unique talents.
Participating in the RBSE will help you:
- •Capitalize on strengths to create value
- •Discover blind spots (we all have them!) through drawing in positive feedback from people from different domains of life
- •Discover your "possible self": Savor future experiences and expand your ability to take action on future opportunities
How It Works
A simple, powerful process to discover your strengths through others' perspectives
Invite Others to Share Stories
Invite a number of storytellers from all different areas of life. These storytellers will share specific stories of when they've seen you at your best.
Collect Your Stories
We gather all responses into your personalized Compilation of Stories — authentic narratives about moments when others have seen you at your best and most impactful.
Craft Your Best Self Portrait
Use your stories to identify patterns of you at your best and to create a portrait that reflects what others see in you that are likely to overlook. Teams will create a collective best self.
Bring Your Strengths to Life
Use your newfound awareness of your essential, effortless, and energizing strengths to enhance your life, leadership, or learning — either independently or with a coach or facilitator.
