additional resources for shine away sessions

know thyself resources

Truity - Free, but not as much depth on the information - Lots of different self awareness assessments including Enneagram and DiSC.

  • The Enneagram is like a backstage pass to your own personality, it shows you what drives you, what trips you up, and how to grow past it. Once you know your type, you can catch yourself in old patterns faster and step into the best version of you (without the drama).

  • DiSC is like getting subtitles for how you (and everyone else) communicate, it reveals whether you lead with drive, influence, steadiness, or carefulness. Once you know your style, you can flex your approach, lower conflict, and make collaboration feel way less like guesswork and way more like teamwork.

Cliftonstrengths - $25 for top 5/$60 for top 34

CliftonStrengths (aka StrengthsFinder) is like a high-def mirror showing you what you naturally do best, the talents you might not even realize are superpowers. You can start with your Top 5 strengths for a quick, powerful snapshot, or unlock all 34 to get the full blueprint of how you think, act, and lead, so you can stop obsessing over weaknesses and start doubling down on the things that make you extraordinary.

Strengths Deployment Inventory - $265 w/ coach

SDI 2.0 is like a color-coded map of what motivates you, not just when things are going great, but also when stress shows up. It helps you see what drives your behavior, what triggers conflict, and how you can flex your approach to build stronger relationships (and stop wasting energy on miscommunications).
