This is your personal worksheet. Whether you are working with a coach, or you're exploring this website on your own, the questions below are meant to push into a very deep thought process. Every question serves a purpose. When you ponder over the responses, in many cases, it may be the first time you'd find yourself vocalizing these thoughts. This is an important first step, and this self-assessment is designed to help you figure out what is truly important for you.
Strong recommendation: Do this as a group activity. Make a circle of 4-5 close friends, and go through this exercise together. You will learn a lot by listening to how others are tackling the same questions, and they would, no doubt, learn from your wisdom.
Sympheon is a leadership development platform, where we are developing future leaders who will one day take over all aspects of our world. We want them to be careful, thoughtful and intelligent people, who have the skills and mindset to approach some of the most intense challenges we are facing as a humanity. This self-assessment tool will put you on that journey.
