Check out the latest episode of What Didn't Kill You? featuring a conversation with Lauren Ivison of Totem Leadership - Lauren and I discuss "Personal 360s", the practice of taking the organizational tool and applying it to one's personal life and blindspot. Lauren spends a lot of time doing this for organizations, but it all started when she endeavored to try it in her own life.
As I navigate doing this for myself, Lauren and I have a comprehensive conversation on the who, what, and why of it all. As well as what we can take into our work and relationship experiences from it.
Would love to hear your experience if you've tried a Personal 360!
