The Personal Excellence Map (PEM®)
The PEM® is a non-diagnostic positive assessment process designed for use in developing specific soft skills that facilitate intelligent self-direction. Personal excellence is defined as a process of becoming the best person one can be and is reflected in how one is, as well as what one does. Personal excellence is indicated in people who develop their gifts and talents to the fullest, achieving a harmony in how they think, feel, behave, and believe that leads to productive relationships and outcomes. Rather than an arrival state, personal excellence is a journey of positive development beyond one's self. It manifests in self-defined and self-valued achievements that reflect one's best efforts. Based on a transformative approach to emotional intelligence (EI), our EI-centric model of personal excellence connects the process of building quality from within with the lived experience of each person.
