When you’re faced with challenges or struggles in your life and work, what do you do to get unstuck? Maybe you vent to a friend, go to therapy, or even hire a coach, but today’s guests—Tim Preston & Jonathan Thomas—have a tool that can help you to uncover your own solutions through a process they call CoreSelf Mapping. Through eight steps, the CoreSelf Map Process moves individuals and teams through three major questions: Where am I now? Where do I want to be? How do I get there? In this conversation, I talk with Tim and Jonathan about the origins of this work, their three operating principles—slow down, trust the map, and question respectfully—and the concept of the internal observer and how it shows up throughout the process. We also learn more about Tim and Jonathan’s new book, CoreSelf Positioning: Getting on the Same Page, Literally.
