Journey Lines

Review the content in each of the tabs below before moving on to the Journey Line Builder.
Don’t forget to take a look at the example!

A personal Journey Line is a graphical representation of important events or experiences in your life, those that you identify as having had a significant impact on who you are today.

In the context of team development, the goal is to understand more about who you are and what you bring to the leadership team. This format will facilitate sharing the life events and experiences that have shaped your leadership style with others on your team.

The Journey Line Builder, on the next page, is a simple form you will complete and submit to create your Personal Journey Line.

Using the form, you will:

  • Enter at least 5, and up to 10, major life events/experiences (personal and professional)
    • Focus on the key events that have shaped your character, values, philosophy and most importantly your leadership style
  • Rate each Event/Experience from -5 to 5 based on the emotional impact
  • Outline the lessons and impact of each of these experiences
  • Outline your Leadership Philosophy and Personal Triggers
  • You can also get creative by adding some photos that represent your life events!
    • If you do choose to add photos, they will be automatically resized to fit on the graph. You may want to ensure they are cropped to highlight the areas of importance before uploading.

Upon submitting the form, your Personal Journey Line will be created and you will be able to view it online and download a PDF version.

You will be able to add to, or edit, your Journey Line after submitting it; however, we recommend spending a little time making some notes about your key events, the lessons learned, and gathering photos before starting to use the online form to enter your information.

Failure to SAVE could result in loss of what you have entered.

The Journey Line Builder is a simple web form (screenshot below)

  • input your Event title
  • use the slider to rate the emotional impact from -5 to 5
  • input a few short notes about the impact or key lessons
  • upload a photo from your computer (optional)

The same form fields repeat 5 times, with the option of adding up to 10 total

Once you have added all your events, you will see two final form fields: Leadership Philosophy and Personal Triggers.

The online form will take your entries and generate a Personal Journey Line like this.
