by Tasha Eurich

Seven Pillars of Insight: Values: The principles that guide us Passions: What we love to do Aspirations: What we want to experience and achieve Fit: The environment we require to be happy, energized, and engaged Patterns: Our consistent ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving Reactions: The thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that reveal our strengths and weaknesses Impact: The effect we have on others Perspective-taking: The ability to imagine what other people are thinking and feeling Tool: Zoom In, Zoom Out Alarm clock events: Situations and events that open our eyes to new self-insights. New roles or rules: (things that stretch us outside our comfort zone) Earthquake events: (acute events that shake us to our core) Everyday insights: (seeing our behaviors in a new light)
