The Visual Agile Coach 4 Dimensions of Me

The workplace is evolving, recognising that work-life and team dynamics are enhanced by authenticity and psychological safety by being able to “bring your full self to work”.

What is it for?

The 4-Dimensions of You helps you identify your “full self” and get comfortable sharing it with others, achieving a balance between what you will and won’t share.

What are the 4 Dimensions of You?

The obvious: Visible to others – physical appearance and facts like job title.
The open - what you chose to show and share: age, where you live, likes and dislikes, your personality, your values.
The I’ll tell you when I’m ready: maybe some of the items above – maybe things you’ll be prepared to share with time.
The closed - what you choose not to share: the things that you decide not to bring to the workplace – and that’s OK!

Why use it?

For help with a personal exploration of Yourself
To find a comfortable balance between what you will and won’t / can or can’t share
For the long-term health and wellbeing of you team - build psychological safety and emotional intelligence

When to use it

For focused time – on You (and what You are)
For team development – for learning about each other with confidence

Visual Agile Coaching Tips

Illustrate both your Wheel of Life and each of your Dimensions – bring it to life with visuals.
Completing the 4 Dimensions of You is an important 1st step to coaching a team to do the same. Once You’ve “self-coached” Yourself to a better understanding of your own Dimensions – you can help others on their journey
Propose the 4-Dimensions of You as a team development exercise, share the results to build psychological safety, emotional intelligence and understanding within your team – best as a gradual process rather than a big bang!
