Season 1 Finale - Identity (I in INSPIRE)
Drew and Steve wrap up Season 1 by providing practical tools to consolidate all the identity work covered in previous episodes. After exploring unwanted identities, false identities, and true self through values discovery, this episode offers multiple metaphors and frameworks to keep your authentic leadership front and center.
Key Frameworks Discussed:
Three Circles Diagram - A simple visual separating unwanted identities (middle ring), false identities (outer ring), and true self (center) that clients use daily for self-awareness checks
The House of Me / Boardroom Metaphor - Creating a mental space where your true self leads from the "kitchen table" while other parts of you have their proper place in different "rooms"
Captain & Crew - Your true self as the captain directing all other parts of your internal team with structure and consistency
Constellation of Me - A visual mapping exercise showing the relationship between all your parts and where you position yourself among them
Me Manual - A shareable document containing your DISC profile, strengths, values, and how you want to show up as a leader
Practical Takeaways:
Quote of the Episode: "What is a weed? A plant whose virtues or values have not been discovered."
Coming in Season 2: Navigate (N in INSPIRE) - Taking your identity work into practical application, including creating your leadership anthem, defining your brand, and crafting a purpose statement.
