Considering Key Relationships

Another way to think about your life is to think about the connections we have with others that greatly influence our lives. Identify four people you consider being very important in your work and personal life.

• Boss
• Peer or co-worker
• Patient, client, or subordinate
• Friend or family member

What Would They Say?

Project yourself forward in time and pick three characteristics that you feel your boss would attribute to you. Repeat this process, substituting the name of a peer, then someone who reports to you, and finally a personal friend or someone that you have a close relationship with. If you like, create your own phrase or term that you think they would attribute to you. (A worksheet is available on the next screen.)
