Outline the first 3 steps in a word document to be uploaded into MyCourses to the folder labeled Sense of Self.

 

Think of a person in history or in your life whom you admire. What are the qualities of that person that you would like to emulate? These qualities can relate to their character, values, achievements, personality, or simply the way they live their lives. Consider the specific reasons you admire the person, and list those qualities (6-8). Please include a sentence or two about who you admire and then you can bullet the list of specific qualities that you admire.

 

Define the type of person you want to become, not just what you want to have or achieve. To start it might be helpful to think about a future time (in the next 3-5 years) where you have already accomplished important milestones.

This ideal should reflect your core values and your definition of living with purpose and integrity. It helps you clarify your personal operating system and reminds you of what you are capable of becoming. describing the type of person you want to become.

 

Determine all of your life roles (career, friends, family, community, etc.), and write down a short statement of how you would like to be described in each of those roles. Think about how you would like the important people in your life to remember you and talk about you.

For example, you might want your employer to say, "She was a person of character and integrity who was a compassionate and inspiring leader and a visionary for our organization."

This exercise may feel awkward, but it will help you decide how you want to step into each of the roles in your life and to clarify in concise words how you want others to perceive you.
