METHODOLOGY
MYS is a personality assessment based on the five–element system of Eastern Philosophy—Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. After taking the brief assessment, your top two elements are identified and combined to create a unique archetype.
This methodology uses Eastern wisdom to uncover deeper aspects of personality, providing valuable insights into your strengths, challenges, and interpersonal dynamics.
ELEMENTAL QUALITIES
Each element possesses unique strengths and weaknesses. The diagram illustrates these qualities, highlighting how elements manifest in both balanced and imbalanced states.
- Balanced State: Each element exhibits its natural strengths and positive traits.
- Excess State: When an element is overly dominant, it can lead to intensified traits
- Deficient State: When an element is underrepresented, it shows up as weakened or diminished traits.

The MYS method has consistently proven to be a transformative tool for organizations seeking to enhance their team dynamics and productivity. Time and time again, we have witnessed its power in inspiring individuals to elevate their communication skills and forge higher functioning, lasting connections among team members.

COMPANIES WE WORK WITh
OUR SUPER FRIENDS
“Through Alice’s innovative superhero framework, the State of Hawaii managed to revolutionize decades of unsuccessful IT projects, heralding a new era of technology for the state and its residents.
When my team began collaborating with Alice, Hawaii’s IT program was facing severe challenges. The state was grappling with failing IT projects across various departments, jeopardizing nearly $500 million. It was imperative to salvage these projects. Consultants, through analysis, identified the root of these failures as a ‘People’ problem.
Recognizing the need for effective change management, I enlisted Alice’s expertise. Her framework empowered every member of our organization to be heard, fostering an inclusive environment. We extended this approach throughout the state, significantly accelerating our change management initiatives.”

“Our Global Creative and Marketing team came together for a Master Your Superpowers training where we not only discovered new ways to relate, we uncovered new ways to support each other.
Knowing our elements coupled with our superhero archetypes was not only fun and memorable, it helped us to understand how to actually talk to each other based on our elements, especially when we are stressed.
We continue to use this valuable system to bridge communication and connect on a level that is unprecedented.”
Erika Everett
“Because of Master Your Superpowers, one of our leaders immediately recognized that the challenges he had with his boss were because of their different elemental archetypes.
The training showed how to change the way he communicated with his leader, and because of this, they were able to overcome the communication challenges they had in the past.
After this, Master Your Superpowers spread outside of our department into the broader organization like wildfire!”
