Who Helped Me? A Three-Part Exercise
Part A
- Think of the people who helped you the most in your life and career. Think of the people about whom you would say, “Without this person, I could not have accomplished or achieved as much as I have. Without this person, I would not be the person I am today.”
- Write their names on a sheet of paper. Next to each name, describe moments you remember with them that had a lasting impact on you. What did they say or do? Next to your description of those moments, write what you learned or took away from them.
- Now think of the people who have tried to help, manage, or coach you over the last two years. Think of people who conducted performance review with you or gave you feedback in any aspect of your life or work. Think of the moments with them. What did they say or do?
- As you consider what each person in these two reflections said or did and how it affected you, what were the differences?

“A feedback-rich environment relies on coaching as the requisite communication skill of all members of that high-performance culture. Transformational Coaching flows freely among teammates, teams, and functions. Coaching occurs in a 360 degree fashion, up, down, and all across the team" (Crane, 2014, p.216) |
