YOUR NAME:   Augustine Emuwa
 

YOUR TITLE: Owner Operator
 

YOUR ORGANIZATION: Identity Capital Consulting
Understanding your communication patterns, and motivations, and identifying + responding to
your patterns of psychological distress (based upon your unique personality structure) are core
elements of the "Key to Me" inventory report. What did you learn most about yourself via your
report and/or our debrief together?
The assessment gave me a good idea of How my strengths and growth areas show up amongst others.
It also provides robust information on other personality types. This is vital Because many of us don’t
have the time or a tool that we can use to stay dialed into emotional intelligence and awareness. We
live in a fast paced society where the assessment can be valuable so that we have practical ways of
being able to assess social situations.
What did you become more aware of as a human after diving into your "Key to Me" profile and
how has this helped you grow personally and professionally?
I became more aware of my patterns and also how that shows up for people that I have intimate
relationships with both personally and professionally. It also became a launchpad for me to investigate
where my superpowers and stressors come from giving my own experiences.
In your opinion, what are some of the benefits an individual may experience when deciding to
say "yes" to the PCM process?
Self awareness through self exploration and all of the accoutrements that come with that process of deep dive introspection.

YOUR ORGANIZATION: Chicago Public Schools
Understanding your communication patterns, and motivations, and identifying + responding to
your patterns of psychological distress (based upon your unique personality structure) are core
elements of the "Key to Me" inventory report. What did you learn most about yourself via your
report and/or our debrief together?
I learned that many themes come up for me as a harmonizer. I do have the need to please others in
order feel wanted and feel worthwhile. There are ways I learned to feed that urge in healthy ways
without feeling rejected. Also, it is really important for me to love me and take time for myself. It
seems to simple, yet it’s something I don’t do often.
What did you become more aware of as a human after diving into your "Key to Me" profile and
how has this helped you grow personally and professionally?
I became more aware that I use emotions attached to events, people, and actions to drive me. I like and
lean on my intuition. I have learned to trust it.
In your opinion, what are some of the benefits an individual may experience when deciding to
say "yes" to the PCM process?
I think that the validation of the parts of oneself that one may have already known are there is a key
feature. On the other hand, facing those ideas that you know are true but are hard to look at right in the
“mirror “ is tough. However, the process shows you what you can do to honor all of you and take action for fulfillment.

YOUR TITLE: Coaching Consultant
 

YOUR ORGANIZATION: BE 4 Lyfe Transitions
Understanding your communication patterns, and motivations, and identifying + responding to
your patterns of psychological distress (based upon your unique personality structure) are core
elements of the "Key to Me" inventory report. What did you learn most about yourself via your
report and/or our debrief together?
I learned that my strengths in the Thinker phase proved why I was so overly stressed for so many years.
I didn't believe anyone could get it done right and took on most of the responsibility to get it
done...whatever IT was. I never took time for myself and never took vacations--not recognizing the
importance of either. To me, work was the most important thing.
Now I recognize that I need to develop a good action plan to experience life and not be so stuck in
working through life.
What did you become more aware of as a human after diving into your "Key to Me" profile and
how has this helped you grow personally and professionally?
That I truly had become a workhorse and never gave myself the ability to enjoy life. It wasn't a matter of
not feeling worthy or that I didn't deserve it...my issue was being driven to just work. As far as work
was concerned, I didn't consider my work an opportunity for career growth. I just performed the job I
was given. I did the same thing in relationships--I accepted whatever guy offered me attention. I didn't
think about the kind of relationship I wanted, nor did I look for anyone in particular. I just accepted
what/who came in my path.
Both have now changed. I am working to start my coaching business, recognizing that entrepreneurship
is what I desire most.
In your opinion, what are some of the benefits an individual may experience when deciding to
say "yes" to the PCM process?
The PCM process will give an individual a full understanding of processes such as perceptual frames of
reference, psychological needs, and personality phases. For me, it helped me envision the issues that
happened to me in the past, so now I can take the time to make changes and improve my plan of action
1

to increase the joy in my life.
I can tell that during this time in my life of transition, I have struggled with making necessary changes
because of my fear of experiencing some of the failures in the past that have caused me extreme
disappointment. I thought I was pushed by fear of failure--I recognize now that I don't have a fear, but
that my Thinker phase has basically been given the opportunity to develop my own forms of work! Now
that I see it this way, fear no longer takes precedence. My control Type-A can now take it's place up front!

YOUR TITLE: Co-Owner
 

YOUR ORGANIZATION: Dinobi Detergent LLC
Understanding your communication patterns, and motivations, and identifying + responding to
your patterns of psychological distress (based upon your unique personality structure) are core
elements of the "Key to Me" inventory report. What did you learn most about yourself via your
report and/or our debrief together?
I did! I did learn that the way that I operate is not abnormal! I also learned that I can be in different
"places" at different times, and that is ok.
What did you become more aware of as a human after diving into your "Key to Me" profile and
how has this helped you grow personally and professionally?
This helped me to better understand my co-owner/husband. We have a unique situation where we are
married and we work together in business. To not blur the lines or take things personally can be a
challenge. The Key to Me profile and PCM helped me to better understand how our differences can
work well together, as well as "why" we have some of the differences we do regarding work styles.
In your opinion, what are some of the benefits an individual may experience when deciding to
say "yes" to the PCM process?
I believe it will help businesses especially, get to know their workers' work styles and help owners
particularly, hire people in roles where they would work well. It would also help owners get a better
understanding of themselves and how they work as owners/leaders.
