Fully Yourself at Work
Fully Yourself at Work is a relationship mapping exercise that helps participants build useful connections and understand how people, roles, or ideas relate.
How to run it
- Ask them to be aware and cognizant of their feelings, emotions, and their performance as they work
- Have participants ask each other Did being fully yourself change anything about your work?
- Tell me about it Can you think back and try to remember what conditions were in place that helped you to be fully
- These paired interviews bring up hundreds of meaningful stories that in many cases people have not shared before
- Colleagues discover new facts of one another and start to see each other in a new light
- When people are finished interviewing in pairs, ask them to share the most insightful part of their interview publicly
