CONFIDENCE IN SELF YOUR SCORE: 50%

Confidence is self is foundational to the other elements. Just

about everything meaningful and worthwhile you choose to do
requires that you have a strong and powerful belief in yourself.
And yes, it is completely developable.

Lower confidence in self (75% or less) indicates that you may be

easily thrown off balance - or off course - which could put you at
risk of not moving forward in the work that is important to you.
And a low score here - particularly combined with a high score in
“Connection to Others” - may cause you to betray your own
needs to satisfy the needs of others.

Higher confidence in self (above 75%) indicates that you are

likely grounded, steady, and true to yourself - even in the midst of
challenging situations like uncertainty, criticism, politics, and
chaos. You are likely gentle - and accepting of yourself during
your struggles and failures. All of which means that you’ll be
more open to learning and be more likely to take smart risks that
will help you to continue growing.

CONNECTION TO OTHERS
YOUR SCORE: 67%

Your ability to move forward on important work - especially in

organizations - is directly related to your ability to connect with
others, inspire them, and motivate their action.

Lower connection to others (75% or less) indicates that you risk

alienating the people around you. You likely struggle with trust -
being trusted and trusting - and the people around you may not
feel appreciated. Improving trust by connecting more deeply and
authentically with others - without losing yourself in the process -
will be key to moving forward in what’s most important to you.
This is especially true if you need the support, commitment, or
loyalty of others.

Higher connection to others (above 75%), indicates that you have

an ability to see and appreciate others - and to be profoundly
seen and appreciated by them - developing relationships that
build commitment and loyalty around you. You are likely capable
of having hard conversations - and delivering hard messages that
people don’t always agree with - while deepening your
connection to them.
 COMMITMENT TO PURPOSE
YOUR SCORE: 58%

Committing to a larger purpose is critical to great leadership, and

it’s also critical to simply leading a good life. Purpose is where
you - and those around you - find meaning.

Whether you are an individual trying to accomplish things in your

own life - or a leader who needs to rally many people behind your
strategy - lower commitment to purpose (75% or less) is an
indicator that you’ll stay stagnant. You probably feel busy without
feeling productive. Without a north star, a clear direction towards
which you focus your energy (and, potentially, the energy of
others), it’s hard to achieve anything for yourself, and it’s even
more challenging to get a group of people committed to achieving
anything for you.

Higher commitment to purpose (above 75%) makes the best use

of your confidence and connection. It indicates that you’re clear
about what’s important, that you’ve made it your (and your
team’s) focus, and that you have the capability of translating that
passion into action and ultimately, results. Your hard work most
probably translates into achieving the outcomes you’re seeking.

EMOTIONAL COURAGE YOUR SCORE: 67%

If you are willing to feel everything, you can do anything. If

you have high confidence in self, connection to others, and
commitment to purpose, it’s likely that you have Emotional
Courage. It both underpins - and amplifies the other areas.

Lower emotional courage (75% or less) indicates that you might

not be willing to feel some emotions and, as a result, you likely
procrastinate - or give in - too easily. You may not be, aware of
what you’re feeling, or if you are, you may try to escape the
feeling. Your resistance to feel - whether it’s fear, shame, anxiety,
or maybe even joy - doesn’t make those feelings go away, it just
pushes them down, only to leak out in messy, insidious, and often
damaging, out of control ways. It’s best to feel these feelings
completely - and act powerfully and intentionally while feeling
them - to lead yourself - and the others around you.

Higher emotional courage (above 75%) indicates that you are

willing to feel things - both pleasurable and challenging emotions
- and take smart, intentional, and strategic risks. This gives you
tremendous freedom to act in ways that will bring you - and your
organization or team - closer to what’s most important to you. The
more emotional courage you have, the more easily you will build
your confidence, connect with others, and commit to purpose in a
way that enables you to have hard conversations, create
accountability, and inspire action on your most important work.
