Looking closely at self requires bravery and living with uncertainty (Bolton 2014). By standing back from the daily grind and assumptions we make and engaging in reflection, we become more aware of the influences that surround us and we are motivated to change (Seedhouse 2017). As previously highlighted, we can engage in the process of knowing self in a variety of ways. Many of these rely on others to provide us with assistance or feedback so that we can enhance our understanding of our behaviours, actions and reactions through the eyes of others. However, feedback given by the wrong person, at the wrong place or time, in an insensitive way, will add little to our knowledge of self or to creating a healthful culture. Therefore, when considering getting to know and developing self, it is important to consider the following points.

 What feedback do I want and am I ready to hear it?

 Who do I trust and value to assist me?

 Are they the right person?

 Who can support me as a person?

 Is that different from who supports me in a team?

 What do I need to achieve a positive outcome for all?
