Personal question · Resilience, Self-awareness
Frightened, and did it anyway
Some of the things that matter most are frightening to do: raising a problem at work, volunteering for something you might fail at, or saying what nobody else will.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you went ahead with something that genuinely frightened you because staying quiet or stepping back felt wrong. What did you do?
- 2Think about the days afterward. What did you learn about yourself, and how has it changed the way you approach things that scare you?
What raters look for
- Resilience
- Recovers from setbacks, manages stress constructively, and learns from failure.
- Self-awareness
- Recognizes own biases, limits and emotions, and seeks and uses feedback.
