How To Use It
Work through all 12 factors at your own pace, but aim to finish within 3 months as an individual, or 12 months if you’re an employer. Some factors are quick to review, while others deserve more time and reflection.
​

Use the simple exercise:
-
Read each factor summary.
-
Reflect on how it applies to you.
-
Record notes in your journal or digital document.
Here's how you can best use this guide.
Read, Review and Reflect
Exploring all twelve factors is essential for your professional growth and long-term success. Take time with each: read, review, and reflect, considering its relevance to your work and aspirations, and identify meaningful adjustments for lasting impact.
​
Building a Platform for Growth
Some factors—like practical skills—are quick wins. Others, such as “Emotional Intelligence” and “Ability to Impact,” require ongoing effort but deliver exponential returns in performance and personal fulfillment. Treat these deeper themes as long-term investments in your professional journey.
​
Set Time-Bound Goals
Individually, aim for a twelve-week timeline; for teams or organizations, stretch to twelve months for broader integration. This is a journey—address simple factors quickly, and dedicate more time to complex topics that need sustained attention.
Organizations can adapt this framework, integrating critical factors into annual planning and employee development.
​
Zero to Five
Rate each factor from zero to five by relevance to your current situation. Focus on your highest priorities, but don’t overlook emerging gaps or blind spots.
​
Think of Three Clusters
Some factors overlap—competencies with strengths, or motivations within emotional intelligence. As you review, note what matters most. Prioritize and consolidate as needed.
​
Decide Where to Store It - call this "Your Note Taking App"
Organize your insights in a notebook, digital note, or a table with three columns: competencies, acquired skills, and motivations/interests. List up to ten items per column, rating each (1–5) for relevance. Use these ratings to guide your next steps and prioritize what matters most. Leave space for notes—constraints, ideas, or values outside your main clusters. Consider folders (digital or physical) to store documents, resources, and reflections.
​
Set Calendar Prompts & Reminders
Schedule prompts to review your progress and revisit key factors. Reminders help you stay accountable and ensure ongoing growth. Use these as checkpoints to reflect, adjust goals, and celebrate achievements.
