Activity 2: Spin the Kaleidoscope
IN THIS LESSON Look into the kaleidoscope and start understanding the many ways your leaders might see you.
Think of a leader, past or present, who you reported to and whom you trust and respect.
Who is it? Take a minute to close your eyes and bring that person to life in your imagination. Picture them as if they were with you right now. Notice their features, their hair, their face, their clothes, their expressions. When did/do you typically interact?
For each of the following prompts, respond by writing a few descriptive words anywhere around your self-portrait.
Think about when you met them. How did you come to trust them?
If that person introduced you to someone new, what would they say about you?
If that person were to recommend you for a new position, what position would that be?
What words would they use to describe you?
If you asked that person for frank feedback on areas where you could improve, based on their point of view, imagine what they would say. Add these words to your self-portrait.
