Yasmin’s Profile
Yasmin is a project manager for a large energy company. She took AgileBrain as part of a team building exercise for a new manager. The group looked at aggregate data, and each person had a chance to debrief confidentially about their own results.
Yasmin’s profile really lit up in the Self domain (darkest blues in Authenticity and Potential, indicating high intensity, and elevated need for Safety, and a large share of orange indicating negative emotions across all 3 needs in the Self domain). Caring and Purpose also showed intense and negative emotions (dark blue, mostly orange).

Probing Deeper with Yasmin
Yasmin expresses real discomfort with the culture promoted by their new leader. She explains, “I regularly hear comments about ethnicity and religion that make me feel uncomfortable (negative Safety); they make me want to hide (negative Authenticity) and have me questioning whether I’ve got a future at my long-time employer (negative Potential and Purpose).” Yasmin added, “sticking us with this guy really made me wonder if the company cared about the team and me personally” (negative Caring).
The ‘Now What?’ for Yasmin
The AgileBrain group assessment identified issues for the coach to work on with the manager. Yasmin is looking forward to the AgileBrain checkup in 3 months. She’s hoping for a turnaround in the manager’s behavior, but she also got sponsored for the company’s leadership program. She thinks she can do better!
