What happens during the sima process?
After an initial meeting with an individual sima coach, the sima process will take you through five stages.
Stage 1: Recalling the good times
Looking back on your life so far, you’ll identify the things that you believe you did well and that you found satisfying.
Stage 2: Writing down your achievements
You then write down those achievements, describing carefully what you did.
Stage 3: Talking about your achievements
Your sima coach will ask you about your achievements in a one-to-one taped interview. Your coach is not looking for how you perform in an interview but at what makes you tick.
Stage 4: Finding the patterns
The coach analyses the interview data and identifies the themes that are unique to you. A pattern of your motivated abilities is produced.
Stage 5: Learn and apply
The coach goes through your motivational pattern with you, so that together, you can apply it to your life and work.
Sima builds a picture of you as an individual, with your unique characteristics. Unlike many other assessment techniques, it does not measure you against norms or describe you as one of a type. It is this that makes sima unique.
The exact number of sessions that you have with your coach will depend on the programme you choose. For senior leaders and executives, the 5 step programme has the equivalent number of face-to-face sessions. For most others, the Who do you think you are? programme with its four sessions is sufficient.
How could you benefit from sima?
The self-understanding that you gain from sima will provide you with:
- a clear way of enhancing your performance
- increased confidence and self-worth
- career direction and life goals
- a framework of self knowledge
- a language to describe your strengths
- a basis for more informed decision-making
- maximum job fit in your current role
- insights into future job options
- greater work satisfaction
- deeper understanding of your relationships
When used well, sima can help you avoid:
- burn-out
- motivational boredom and depression
- interpersonal conflict
- fragmentary self-knowledge
Sima - what is it and what it isn't
In summary, the sima process is about:
What you are good at, not why you are the way you are not the opinions of others not you as a statistic not how you measure up
A way to discover what you’re | Motivated work behaviour, not isolated & unconnected fragments Uniquely, accurately you, not probabilities and tendances |
A tool for managing your performance and potential, not a course in leadership training or self-esteem
A clear reflection of you
Sima goes beyond most usual kinds of assessment. It takes you seriously as an individual. It follows your lead and gets to the heart of who you are and how you operate. It works with you from the inside out. The outcome is a pattern of your preferences, your unique motivational design – a clear reflection of you.
