The Self-Discovery and Three Stories Toolkit

The Self-Discovery and Three Stories Toolkit

From Experience to Insight: 3 Reflective Practices

"Self-discovery isn't about finding new experiences—it's about understanding what our existing experiences reveal about who we truly are."

This free toolkit provides three practical exercises designed to help you discover deeper insights about yourself through your three fundamental stories:

1. The Story Significance Exercise: Guides you to understand why certain experiences feel story-worthy whilst others don't, revealing patterns about your identity.
2. The Hidden Pattern Recognition Guide: Helps you identify recurring themes across your Success, Failure, and Passion stories that illuminate your core identity.
3. The Self-Awareness Deepening Practice: Provides reflective approaches for extracting ongoing insights from your three fundamental stories.

Throughout the toolkit, examples from professionals engaged in self-discovery work illustrate how reflecting on our stories reveals who we are beneath our roles and achievements—showing you how to apply the same framework to your WorkLife situations.
