Be perfect, be strong, hurry up, please others, try hard: five small voices push us, rarely at the right time.
Picked up in childhood, these inner commands helped us grow up before becoming habits we no longer notice. This module teaches you to spot yours by the phrase that comes up under pressure, counter it with a healthier stance, and tell your AI assistant about it, since this flattering mirror amplifies our tendencies rather than tempering them.
What you’ll take away
- a portrait of the five drivers, recognizable in five very concrete work situations
- a quick test to identify your dominant driver or drivers
- five invitations to practice, and the instruction that turns AI into a critical ally
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants to understand what drives them at work and to act by choice rather than by reflex.
Learning objectives
- Recognize the five drivers as they play out at work: be perfect, be strong, hurry up, please others, try hard.
- Identify your dominant driver or drivers from the inner phrase that comes up under pressure.
- Understand how a dominant driver drains energy, hinders delegation, and is amplified by an AI assistant.
- Counter each driver with a healthier stance and ask your AI assistant to challenge rather than flatter you.
