One of the most practical tools I’ve used for developing self-awareness – and helping others do the same – is the CORE Process from GiANT Worldwide.
It’s useful for employees, managers, and teams alike. Whether you’re navigating a challenge or trying to break an unwanted tendency, the CORE Process helps you reflect and make a plan to change.
- Call It: Name the fact(s) of what’s going on. Be honest about the challenge or tendency you’re seeing.
- Own It: What’s your role in this, and what can you control and change?
- Respond: What do you need to do differently next time? What’s your practical plan to interrupt the pattern or apply the insight?
- Execute: Define success, set a timeline, and ask someone to hold you accountable.
