Logging In For the First Time

The Transcript If You Prefer

Welcome to GuideLabs! This series is designed to set you up for success by walking you through the key features and actions you'll use. In this video, we'll cover what happens when you log in for the first time—including a quick, three-step onboarding process to personalize your experience.

So, what's onboarding all about? We've streamlined it into two simple steps to jump-start your growth journey:

First, choose your focus areas. This is where you pick the key behaviors or habits you want to strengthen. These are specific, actionable, and measurable—making it easier to track progress and create real impact.

Second, define your brand by selecting attributes that capture how you want to show up in your interactions. Think of these as the qualities people can consistently count on from you—whether it's being insightful, approachable, or decisive.

This quick process ensures you start with clarity and intention—so your development journey is both meaningful and actionable.

To get started, pick one focus area from each category: communication, decision-making, and collaboration. Each behavior represents a skill to help you grow in that area. Don't overthink it—you can update your choices anytime. Just scroll through our curated list and toggle on the ones that fit you best right now.

Why does this matter? Growth is most effective when it's focused. Instead of trying to tackle everything at once, zero in on what will create the most impact. Stick with your focus areas for a set period, make progress, and then reassess.

Finally, pick six words that best describe how you want to show up and be seen. These attributes go beyond skills—they represent your unique value.

If focus areas are what you do, your brand is how you do it. Your brand shapes how you engage, lead, and create impact—so choose words that feel authentic and aspirational.

And that's it! You're all set to start getting feedback from your peers. If you ever need more help, your Guide is here to support you, and you can always check out the GuideLabs wiki or reach out to our support team.
