What if you could know what people really think about you? You can.

If you want to grow, you need to know how the world experiences you – for better and for worse. That’s why, as part of the Becoming You methodology, I’m thrilled to introduce PIE360: A fast, reliable, scientifically validated anonymous 360 feedback tool – created by yours truly. Want to know more? Keep reading below!

Love of The Week

My 30s are pretty much a blur – I was a single mom working 50 hours a week with four kids under 8 – but one morning at drop-off, a teacher casually remarked, “No one sees their kids the way you do, Suzy.”

“I see my kids?” I asked her.

“Yes, as their own people, I love watching it,” she shrugged.

Love of The Week

My 30s are pretty much a blur – I was a single mom working 50 hours a week with four kids under 8 – but one morning at drop-off, a teacher casually remarked, “No one sees their kids the way you do, Suzy.”

“I see my kids?” I asked her.

“Yes, as their own people, I love watching it,” she shrugged.

I was shooketh then, but I’m not anymore. Over time, I’ve come to realize that the way we see ourselves and the way the world sees us can be two stunningly different things.

I spent years thinking I was a terrible mother. Then my kids grew up and told me, well, that I was pretty effing good. God, how I wish I had known all along! It would have saved me so much guilt, exhaustion, fear, and grief.

So here’s what I love this week. It’s a brag, sorry not sorry.

I have invented a tool called PIE360 that tells you, right here and right now, how the world experiences you. Specifically, it tells you how your family, coworkers, and friends see you in terms of the quality of your relationships with people, the thoughtfulness of your ideas, and the reliability of your execution, AKA how well you get things done.

People. Ideas. Execution. P-I-E.

The “360” part of the tool’s name comes from the fact that you can send this assessment to up to 40 people from all around your life, giving you a 360-degree perspective. It takes under five minutes to complete and is completely and utterly anonymous.

Becoming You is designed to get you to your purpose. It is built on deep self-understanding. A big piece of that is knowing how the world experiences you…really. I love that PIE360 is here to help! If you end up using it, PLEASE PLEASE let me know what you think. I mean it, because I made it for you.

Hate of the Week

When I teach Becoming You at NYU, the course is six whirlwind weeks, culminating in students handing in a final project that imagines their purpose-driven life 40 years into the future.

I hate grading these narratives. Yes, many of them are magnificent and inspiring, but there are always a handful of students who go through the entire Becoming You process and come out hanging onto a dream of a life that is not based on the concepts and assessments we’ve done in class. (Full disclosure: I’m never mad at them, just lovingly frustrated.)

Look, we will never figure out our purpose in life if we don’t know our values, aptitudes, and economically viable interests. But that’s hard work! That’s why I call Becoming You “an excavation,” for goodness sake! If you end up taking PIE360 ⬆️, you will know what I mean. Data gathering is an act of will. Paying attention to it – and heeding it – even more so.

But the reward – a life of purpose, egads! – is worth it.

Hmm of the Week

I don’t want to write this entire newsletter without acknowledging that there appears to be an epic sh*tshow going on, what with tariffs and whatnot.

But the other day, I took a road trip with my daughters to Maine to see our family’s newest and most fabulous members. On the way, we got to talking about economics and geopolitics. We did not agree on a lot of things, but here’s the craziest part. We conversed for a full hour with respect and curiosity, and we heard each other out, all of us coming out of the experience more open-minded.

Why is this kind of experience so rare these days? What can be done to change that? Because we all need to see the world through each other’s eyes sooner rather than later.

And yes, that was another plug for PIE360. I am shameless, but my aim is true.

How does PIE360 fit into Becoming You's methodology?

Knowing how people experience you in the world is a key aspect of the aptitudes portion of the Becoming You methodology (which, again, is comprised of uncovering your values, aptitudes, and economically viable interests to lead you to your purpose).

But how does it all come together? I explain it all in my upcoming book, which is available for pre-order now!
