Your Best Self

Three things potentially happen if we bring our best selves to the workplace.

• We flourish as individuals

• We can start to flourish collectively

• We begin to create places that others want to join

And all of that means that we increase our chances of building teams that make a real difference.

The problem, as so often, is that little word “if”. As in, if we bring our best selves to the workplace.

This 50 page booklet collects together 20 short reflections on this theme of “Your Best Self”, prompting us to think about how and when we fail to be that person, and what (if we stop and give ourselves a chance) we might do about it. Each reflection is accompanied by a cartoon to help the message stick.

Underpinning the collection are two simple models, one psychological and one philosophical. Whilst examples or illustrations might work best for some, a bit of underlying theory works better for others. So we’ve gone for both!

And, as has been said before, this stuff really works! There are examples in the booklet of teams applying this learning, creating great places to work, and very clearly making a bigger difference.

The booklets can be used either by individuals or by teams to help build more attractive workplaces. And as with all of our materials, the proceeds go to the charities we support. So every purchase makes a difference straight away!

“Your Best Self”. Not always on show, sometimes hard to access. But worth looking for. May this simple booklet help you in the quest.
