One Page Profiles

S.T.A.R. Kit

One Page Descriptions offer a way to quickly share information that you know is vital in order for others to know who you are or who you are so that genuine and meaningful interaction and support occur. If others learn who you are by first finding out what others like and admire about you, a positive relationship and positive engagement is more likely. If they learn what is most important to you with regard to what you value, who you know and care about, what you like to do, when and with whom, then they can connect and respect you for your values. The process of creating a One Page Profile offers a practical way of recording and sharing information about ourselves or someone who needs good, personalized support. You can use them to get to know colleagues and to introduce yourself to them.

Firstperson Services S.T.A.R. System kits help you to use your team meetings to focus on one particular tool and practice using it, getting feedback and encouragement on their progress in using the Person Centered Thinking skills that they learned in the Introductory workshop. One approach is to decide which person-centered thinking tool is the priority for your team to be competent and confident in and focus there. Some team managers look at one tool per month.
