Find your through-line
A through-line is the thread that connects what you’ve done, what you’re good at, and where you want to go. Set aside 30 minutes and write your answers by hand.
No sign-up.
- List five moments in your career when you were proudest of your work. For each, write what you actually did.
- What do people come to you for without being asked?
- In each of those moments, what did you do that someone else might have missed?
- Which work gives you energy, and which drains it, even when you do it well?
- Finish this sentence three different ways: “I’m at my best when…”
- Read everything back. What repeats? Write it in one sentence. That sentence is a first draft of your through-line.
