Complete your profile to share your strengths, work preferences, and career information with your manager and colleagues. When complete, your profile's About tab is visible in the company directory and enables your manager to hold a Best-Self Kickoff meeting with you.
> Note: Your organization may have renamed this feature. If you don't see "Best-Self Kickoff" in your navigation, check with your admin for the name used in your account.
Before You Begin
- Your admin must have the Profile feature enabled. See Configure Profile feature settings if the About tab does not appear.
Steps
- Click your avatar in the top-left corner of 15Five.
- Click the About tab in the profile navigation.
- Click Edit next to any section you want to complete:
- About — interests outside of work - Strengths — unique strengths you apply in your role - Doing my best work — types of work that energize you - Preferences — how you prefer to collaborate - Growth & development — your career vision and goals
- Answer the questions in the section.
- Click Save.
- To mark an individual answer as private to your manager, click the lock icon to the right of that answer.
- Repeat steps 3–6 for each remaining section.
If Something Goes Wrong
