Individual Potential Mapping
A personal map of what an individual holds and what is currently happening with it. Not a test and not a personality profile – a map that evolves based on how they actively work with it.
How We Work
A parable on the card. A reflective question. A sharp distinction between essence and trap. One concrete micro-experiment executable within three days. And a line for a date and a single word that clearly reveals progress upon drawing the same card again in the future.
Based on the current state of a given potential, the appropriate developmental strategy is determined – discover, recognize, bring to awareness, appreciate, release, unblock, sustain, or balance.
Process
Individual mapping is conducted through a structured, reflective dialogue with a certified MAP4Y facilitator or coach:
- 1. Baseline Self-Assessment: Working with physical or digital MAP4Y cards, selecting core themes and articulating the current perception of one's strengths.
- 2. Positioning in the Matrix: Placing potentials across the 4 quadrants and 8 states along the awareness and utilization axes.
- 3. Identifying Traps and Barriers: Distinguishing whether a barrier is an internal mindset constraint (suppressed) or an external organizational limitation (constrained).
- 4. Micro-Experiment Design: Choosing one concrete, observable step executable within 3 days without requiring managerial approval or external budget.
Deliverable Overview
The output is a clear, structured personal potential map capturing:
- Distribution of potentials across quadrants (Activated, Blocked, Natural, Latent).
- Specific assigned developmental strategies tailored to each state.
- A log of agreed micro-experiments with deadlines and self-reflection prompts.
- A progress tracker reflecting shifts and growth across follow-up sessions.
