Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Extraordinary You
What is Extraordinary You?
Extraordinary You is a strengths-based development experience designed for individual contributors. It provides structured, objective feedback and a clear development plan—helping employees improve performance, productivity, and impact without taking time away from their work.
Who is Extraordinary You designed for?
It is built for individual contributors, team leads, first-time managers, and emerging leaders. It is especially valuable for organizations looking to develop talent earlier in the employee lifecycle—not just after promotion into leadership roles.
How is Extraordinary You different from traditional leadership development programs?
Most leadership development programs focus on managers and senior leaders. Extraordinary You focuses on the much larger population of individual contributors—providing early, scalable development that builds capability before leadership roles.
It also replaces vague feedback with structured, behavior-based insights that drive real improvement.
How long does the program take to complete?
The full experience takes approximately 2.5 hours and is completely self-directed. Participants can complete it at their own pace, making it easy to fit into the flow of work.
Does this require time away from the job?
No. Extraordinary You is designed to happen alongside the job—not outside of it. There are no workshops, travel requirements, or long sessions that disrupt productivity.
What kind of feedback do participants receive?
Participants receive:
- A short self-assessment
- Structured feedback from their manager
- A personalized, AI-powered report
This feedback focuses on a targeted set of behaviors proven to drive effectiveness—giving participants clear, actionable direction.
How does this improve performance?
Our research shows that developing just one profound strength can significantly increase effectiveness.
