Raoul’s Profile
Raoul is a well-credentialed, highly-experienced professional who recently started his own firm. Raoul’s coach recommended AgileBrain as an “ice breaker”.

Interpreting Raoul’s Profile
Raoul’s coach walked him through the framework and then asked him about the relative quiet of his Foundational needs. Raoul feels settled: safe, in control, included and fairly treated. Probing his “quiet” spiritual domain, Raoul laughs, admitting that his higher purpose is modest: “living long enough to enjoy my grandchildren.” Raoul’s Social and Self domains are relatively calm too. He’s working with a small group whom he cares for and who care for him, as his authentic self.
Probing Deeper with Raoul
His need for Success is strong and positive (Raoul is excited about the start-up and committed to its success), but the “surrounding” emotional needs (Potential, Immersion and Recognition) are as much negative as positive.
Raoul has been working harder than ever but doesn’t always feel “in the flow”. He feels like he’s being pulled in different directions (negative Immersion) and wonders sometimes if others recognize how hard he’s working or if they value his contribution (negative Recognition).
His coach asks if he’s being too hard on himself and asks him to talk a little about his own view of his full potential. Raoul admits that he sometimes wonders if his best is good enough. He sometimes feels like an imposter (negative Potential).
The ‘Now What?’ for Raoul
AgileBrain helped kick-off a productive relationship. Raoul and his coach are focused on articulating concrete Success goals and some immediate steps to get him in the flow so he can build confidence (Potential) and make his mark (Recognition).
