User Guide to Me

Often called a 'manual of me', personal user guides are a fantastic way to explain what it's like to work with you on a single page. This simple worksheet guides you to create a beautifully organized 101 guide to YOU.

It's perfect for anyone starting a new role, getting to know a new team, or kicking off a project. In fact, it's just a great all-round exercise in self-awareness.

It's fun to fill in, fun to customize, and fun to read. Still not sure? Here's mine!

In 19 super-short sections, you will:

• Introduce yourself

• Summarise your values and approach

• Outline your strengths and growth areas

• Paint a picture of your personal interests and passions

• Be completely transparent about everything you need to be happy and productive at work

It contains:

• Your one-page personal user guide, blank for you to fill in

• An expansion pack of extra questions

• 2 support pages featuring questions that guide you to write more comprehensive answers

• 6 articles and examples to inspire you

The results?

• More self-awareness

• Increased empathy & trust

• Open communication

• Psychological safety

• More efficient delivery

• Better teamwork

What you can do with your user guide:

• Save it as an image or PDF and share it in Notion or your company's intranet

• Attach it to your LinkedIn or bio page for total transparency

• Run this activity as a workshop or asynchronous exercise for your team, then compile and share everyone's user guides in one big board

• Customize it with your company branding and colors

• Edit it to make it as short or as long as you like
