Tilt Tuesday #1 – Insights, Quotes, and Inquiries

Insights

At the core of the Tilt Framework are 12 Character Strengths.  Learning and mastering all twelve of these strengths is necessary for achieving whole-person balance. In practice, we may overuse (tilt toward) some strengths at the expense of others, often because of an imagined but unconscious inner fear.

The Tilt Framework is designed to serve as a guide to self-awareness that enables more intentional self-leadership and mastery.

The “inner team” of your sub-personas also contains subtleties that make you different from others who share your True Tilt pattern. Your sub-personas help you understand the kind of interactions that energize you most while others may deplete your energy. Your four sub-personas combine as your own personal "amplifier effect."

People with the same True Tilt as you will reflect your best aspects and are therefore called Positive Mirrors.  People with a True Tilt that is the opposite of yours on the Tilt Framework are your toughest match. They will show you aspects of yourself that are missing (alienated) and are therefore called Flip-Side Mirrors.

People with whom you share one quadrant on the Tilt Framework are called your Allies. Your shared quadrant will allow you to resonate with each other and set the foundation for you to help each other bolster the strengths of the quadrant on which you differ.
