Self-Discovery System

How does this work?

The system prompts you to list and catalog your experiences, influences, and strengths. You may think you’ve done that before (cover letters! CVs!) but chances are that it was always for someone else’s eyes. This is different - you are doing this for you. You’re not selling yourself; you’re discovering yourself.

How do I do it?

Make some quiet time for yourself, and sit down to go category by category and list out whatever comes to mind. There are some examples/descriptors to help you. If you're enjoying it, you can add more categories, or adjust categories to make them your own.

Get the most out of it:

You can unlock a lot more insights by coming back your system periodically. Put a calendar reminder for yourself to review and update your lists every couple of months.

If you have trouble:

Remember that nobody is going to grade you. You're doing this for you. If you have trouble with a category, write something down even if you feel like it doesn't qualify. More ideas will come.
