Description

Today I'm exploring a very specific subject matter - Personal 360s. It's an idea that I'm been thinking about applying in my own journey of personal growth and I discuss it with Lauren Ivison - business coach and founder of ‘Totem Leadership’. Lauren and I spend some time on her path to coaching and the elements that help her form a foundation for the leaders she works with; as well as how her own path to using the ‘Personal 360’ framework and how it's contributed to her life and work.

Lauren and I come at some of these personal growth and development ideas from fairly different points of view and I loved our conversation. Whereas I have a tendency to look for opportunities to "self-traumatize" and look for hard things in order to get better, Lauren advocates a bit of a softer approach that has a lot of wisdom to it. It certainly gave me a lot of ideas as I develop my own Personal 360 and think about how to continue down the path of growth and development.

If you have ever done one, or plan on doing one, be sure to share and let me know!
