Inspiration: 'The Timeline Exercise' for an up-to-date Frame of Reference.

Putting events into perspective.

This Timeline Exercise can offer you a unique perspective and map of your life journey. To see where you are relative to your past work & life events; a Frame of reference, and help you choose areas of focus moving forward.

Over time, you may find that past events need to be recalibrated and rescored relative to new events, or changed circumstances. Everyone’s Frame of Reference shifts and evolves, relative to, how they see, their current set of circumstances.

This is one of the first exercises I ask my clients to try because it helps us establish a rapport; connect and learn more about each other through discussing important milestones and reference points.

How we narrate our life journey is just as informative, as describing the facts of the events, themselves.

I’ve personally used this approach since I was first introduced to it during my MBA in 1997. It’s been an important annual, self-assessment tool, that’s helped me shape my personal development, career trajectory and goals.

This is my Frame of Reference (August 1988 to August 2023). I’ll share more learnings and insights about my journey in The Carer Mentor Journey section.
