APPLYING THE AUTHENTICITY COMPASS TO PERSONAL SUCCESS

Authenticity means being true to your self and others. It requires you to:

  1. Identify the facts, beliefs, thoughts and feelings defining your current circumstances.
  2. Recognize your skills and preferences.
  3. Make choices that promote aligned action and personal balance.

The book, The Authenticity Compass, has many exercises to support your personal authenticity journey. For example:

1. The PLEP Profile (pages 35-39) assists you in pinpointing the areas of your life that have opportunities for improvement.

2. The Backward-4 Method for Decision Making (pages 139-143) provides a proven roadmap for effective decision-making and group consensus.

3. The ICE-ing (Identify/Cope/Exit-ing) Application (pages144-147) guides your evaluation of any problematic relationship or situation you may be facing in order to determine whether you need to strengthen your coping skills or EXIT the relationship/situation.

The book presents a practice that is absolutely essential to the use of your Authenticity Compass. It is called the Self-Examination (SEE) Method. The SEE Method (pages 89-98) instills discipline regarding the development of your self-awareness so that, no matter the circumstances you find yourself in, you learn to make choices that honor your true, best self. The SEE Method encourages you to regularly examine your experiences by teaching you to answer the following three questions:

  • What is happening?
  • How am I reacting?
  • Why?

The Authenticity Compass supports positive relationship development by making you aware of the fundamental dynamics influencing your interactions. By understanding your preferences for perceiving and judging, you are made aware of potential blind spots and other likely interaction challenges. By maintaining a Cycle of Success focus, you learn how to best manage each domain of your life. You also learn to identify and respect the key dynamics of successful group activities and realize how you can best contribute to them.
