YOUR LIFE TRACK
Our life experience is made up of (i) the events that happened and (ii) how we processed them. The goal of this exercise is not to reminisce nor to gather facts and figures, but rather to gain a clearer picture of the main events that have marked your life and have made you the person you are today.
Place the main events or « landmarks » on this graph
What are your best memories?
What made them so good?
What do they tell you about yourself?
Look at the challenges you have had to overcome; what internal resource enabled you to overcome them? What do they tell you about yourself?
If you could « rewrite » your own story, what, if anything, would you do differently?
What “roles” have you played in your life? Which ones do/did you particularly enjoy? Which ones were less comfortable? How come you got to play them?
Using this graph as a starting point, write a short résumé of how life has made you the person you are, from childhood, through to adolescence, your professional roles, right up to today.
How do you imagine other people saw you at each point in your life, how do you imagine they see you today and … if you’re up to it … how do you imagine they will see you in 10 yrs from now?
