Life Track and life map
YOUR LIFE TRACK
Our life experience is made up of (i) the events that happened and (ii) how we processed them. The goal of this exercise is not to reminisce nor to gather facts and figures, but rather to gain a clearer picture of the main events that have marked your life and have made you the person you are today.
Place the main events or « landmarks » on this graph
What are your best memories?What made them so good?What do they tell you about yourself? Look at the challenges you have had to overcome; what internal resource enabled you to overcome them? What do they tell you about yourself? If you could « rewrite » your own story, what, if anything, would you do differently?What “roles” have you played in your life? Which ones do/did you particularly enjoy? Which ones were less comfortable? How come you got to play them? Using this graph as a starting point, write a short résumé of how life has made you the person you are, from childhood, through to adolescence, your professional roles, right up to today.How do you imagine other people saw you at each point in your life, how do you imagine they see you today and … if you’re up to it … how do you imagine they will see you in 10 yrs from now?

Life Mapping (via a personal timeline)
I. What we mean by life mapping and timelines
A. A “life map” is your unique way of representing your personal journey to date with God.
It involves seeing key aspects of your life in reference to one another, kind of like seeing various cities and topographical features on a map. These help orient us and give us a better sense of direction toward our destination (i.e. life purpose). Your life map is essentially a visual depiction of your life topography, from birth until the present day.
B. Many people choose a linear, chronological approach to represent their personal journey.
This is known as a “timeline”. (There are other nonlinear ways to represent your life
history; but we will focus on timelines, as the principles remain the same regardless of method).
II. What a timeline can do for me
A. A timeline can help me ___FOCUS____ in on ___KEY ASPECTS___ of my development:
1. ____BOUNDARIES (MAJOR TRANSITIONS, PARADIGM SHIFTS)____ in my life
2. ____CRITICAL INCIDENTS (UNUSUAL EXPERIENCES THAT ARE FORMATIVE)_____
3. _____INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE (VALUES OFTEN ARE IMPRESSED UPON US IN THIS WAY_
4. _____KEY LESSONS LEARNED_______
Note: Making a visually explicit map of my life history also enables me to better explain myself to others – to help them understand me and my journey with God to date.
B. The timeline helps me ____LABEL______ developmental stages of my life.
(SEE ENCLOSED CLINTON’S EXAMPLES OF DEV. STAGES)
C. A timeline allows me to continue to __REFLECT__ on my life and to _LIFE-SCHEDULE__.
Gaining Perspective through Your Personal “Life-Map”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)
Each leader is unique. God shapes each of us over an entire lifetime for unique purposes. He has a plan (calling or purpose) for our lives. And He has created each of us in the hope that we will seek to discover and live-out that special life-course which He Himself has prepared in advance for us.
Coming to understand the way God is attempting to orchestrate our lives involves a process of self- discovery. This process is aided by personal reflection, prayer and processing with other mature leaders. It is also helped along by comparing how God generally works in developing Christian leaders over a lifetime.
Some leaders, through personal journaling or recording of a “spiritual autobiography” (please read and interact over the article by Richard Peace, which we will use at a later stage in Leading Edge), make good progress toward understanding their life purpose. These types of exercises help them articulate and, hence, better align their lives with, the special journey God has intended for them. While these are very useful, an even simpler way to begin to get a grasp on God’s hand at work in our lives is via a “life map”. This is a visual representation of our journey, with key phases, people, events, key lessons learned, and so forth highlighted in a linear or mosaic fashion (whatever makes most sense for us, individually, as the designer).
The Life Map when completed provides a snapshot view of our lives, which can:
1. Encourage us by allowing us to see God’s hand operating in our lives;
2. Help us identify various developmental stages in our growth as leaders;
3. Be an effective way to communicate our personal journey to others;
4. Serve as a tool to help us evaluate and plan our leadership future;
The next page describes how we can get started with our personal life map. It will look messy and, perhaps, uncomfortably chaotic after the first round. But, give it a shot! When we come together in our first small group session, we will review the life-map concept and look at how to take it further.
III. Getting Started with Your Life-Map, the “Post-it Note” Way
Bet you never imagined “post-it notes” could aid the diagramming of your spiritual history! Well, they can and here is how:
STEP 1:
Brainstorm the significant people, events and circumstances that have shaped your life.
* Think back to your earliest memories and work your way to the present.
* As images and thoughts come to mind, record these on YELLOW post- it notes
* Only one item per note, using one word or a short phrase to describe the actual event
* Place the notes on the table in front of you, in no particular order
* This is simply BRAINSTORMING, so don’t explain, feel guilty, or get hung up on details
STEP 2:
Pink is for PAIN.
* Notice that not all post-it notes are positive (i.e. they were painful at the time)
* Re-write those painful items on pink post-it notes
* Some painful experiences are very personal and you won’t want them on a post-it note for
the world to see. In those cases, use symbols or code-words which you understand.
STEP 3:
Arrange the notes in some kind of design, order or picture which makes sense to you (using an A3 sized page)
STEP 4:
Use larger post-it notes to label the main chapters or seasons of your journey.
STEP 5:
Green is for key people and mentors in your life. Re-write a person’s name on a green post-it note who was influential in your development at a specific time.
STEP 6:
Blue is for lessons learned. Take a blue post-it note and write a short phrase or sentence describing the lessons you learned in a specific time or season.
Our life experience is made up of (i) the events that happened and (ii) how we processed them. The goal of this exercise is not to reminisce nor to gather facts and figures, but rather to gain a clearer picture of the main events that have marked your life and have made you the person you are today.

Missional Passional Vissional
Leader- not just people following them and serving their vision.
But a leader must cultivate God’s vision for the people that are serving you. Lead relationally and not visional.
God created us individually to to a redemptive work. People who will respond to each one of our voices. Do not suffocate each person’s individual voice that God put in them.
Presume that God has given each one of us a vision as clear as our own. This takes a lot of trust.
Starts with Vision- 10%-- Focus is future –where we are going -direction is thinking forward
Mission- 60% What I’m doing –Focus is about work –what it is that we are doing and when –wants to see outward change
Passion- 30% Serve individuals – focus is cause --who and why is this affecting --direction is hoping for inward change
Vision- the power of seeing. A visional leader is able to perceive and foresee the future. Sees the hope of Christ in others. Can be any number of people that they are casting a forward thinking vision. Their reality is the world of the unseen.
Nature of visional leader is to inspire, motivate, move and change. Inspired by movement and change.
Cautions about working with a visional leader- there will be an ongoing need to (make and effort to) trim transform and rationalize the vision. The vision is huge, so they need to trim it back for the group to get it.
It needs to go from an idea to a work. When I give my idea over to .. they transform it into reality. Will say how it will impact people’s lives.
Missional leader- knows the work they are here to do. They see things that need to happen. (achiever, activator) Their work is taking them somewhere. They have a direction and they are going there. Their work is part of their pursuit of truth.
Nature is doing, active, achievement. Hands on. Give organization and structure. Responsibility.
Cautions- there is an ongoing need to symbolize (to the vision people), personalize (to passion people), and simplify (only give a few things that need to be done at once).
Can help the passional leaders get stuff done.
Passional leaders- the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. Jesus died for people. Core is an unexplainable drive to meet the needs of others. They sacrifice for the cause of God’ people or all people… time, money, resources. Sense what is going on with the people and need to do something about it. Can be individualistic or global cause.
Nature- love, compassion, nurture, understanding.
Concerns- ongoing need for patience (when a passional leader talks to a missional leader explain it takes time for change), understanding (help them understand what is really at stake to visional leader), explaination (explain what you feel Some have a hard time helping if we don’t understand).
Pvm
You don’t have to have your fingerprints on every part of a project. Trust and hand off. To use your gifts.
Too many teams struggle with sight lines. Face outward. Not inward toward each other. The group is the center of the circle with Christ at the center. You agree on the cause and invest in each others lives but we are not meant to keep too many tabs on each other. Outward, missional focus.
Who you are
What environment
Always a why and when for right now.
Be careful of how you define love. Not always meeting all emotional needs.
Ask how do you want to be loved and not telling people how you are going to love them.
Let passional leaders care. That is what they need. Let a visional leader share vision with you. That is how they love you.

Restorative- we can see problems going to occur. Anything can be made whole. Restoration of all things. Can point you out of trouble. Typically don’t speak up.
Restoative includer- restoration sounds negative- want to be included more than speak up. (not a power struggle to; just want to be heard)
Relater- know intimately, more people specifically. Come to faith through relationships, mentors.
Positivity- negative conversations make you physically tired. Choose to believe that somehow it will work.
How do we feel valued? Some feel valued when people listen to them and they can have some input. With others that doesn’t matter. Some it’s time.
Respect is key to team dynamics.
Learners- when it gets predictable they are ready to move on.
Intellection- takes time to process. Lindsey is a verbal processor. “Here’s what I’m thinking about right now.” “I will get back to you in ____ days” give them the respect to give a time. Write the agenda items that we want to talk about to Darrin.
Input- ability to retain stuff. Collection of different kinds of info.
Includer- Identify with the margins or being on the outside.
Harmony- sacrifice themselves for sake of can’t we all get along or they take action
Focus- needs shorter specific goals. Refine role in yg to smaller role that he can stick with. Want to give themselves away to things that matter. Very clear.
Empathy- emotional thermometer. Not easy to put emotions to words.
Developer- incremental improvement. One step at a time. Progress. Need to see progress. Not necessarily fast but steady.
Deliberative
Context- New idea makes them pivot backwards. What has happened in the past to make them
Connectedness- what we see is caused by God or a higher cause. See the patterns. Physical things have spiritual meaning.
Competition- not just about winning. We want to measure ourselves by something else. Is about themselves but want
Communication- is desperate to be understood. Will tell the same story many times to make sure they are understood. Help you find word to what is inside of you. When communication fails with them you criticize them. Then you just want to prove that what you said makes sense more than communicate you idea. Good- “Could you say that in other words”
Command- Don’t have to be in charge. Can be shepherd’s best friend. Collie. Happy to be number two. If we think the shepherd will take the sheep off the cliff than we will take over.
Analytical- want to punch holes in you idea. How sound is it? Not Personal! Include them early in your projects; they are less likely to punch holes in things they create.
Adaptability- works best with clear cut goals and boundaries. Expect and need them to change.
Activator- work hard right away
Achiever- believe they are the work that they do. Love lists for joy of crossing things off. Need to learn to work and celebrate. Vacations are usually hard for achievers.
