1. Make a list of four or five experiences from the past that have been  “turning points” for you- experiences that have truly influenced the  direction you have taken in your life. These experiences can be from  twenty years ago, or from the present.  The importance is that they made  a real difference in your life. Describe each experience in a few  words.
2. Now review the experiences in your list. Do you see a pattern?  Is  there a common theme?  What is the pattern?  What are the themes?  What  do they tell you about what creates meaning for you?  How does this  relate to your Myers Briggs and Colorful Personality inventories?
3. Imagine that you are attending a dinner given by your colleagues to  honor you as “Leader of the Year”. One after another, your colleagues  and your family talk about the contributions you have made to the  organization and the community.  What do you hope they will say about  you?
4. Are you clear about your organization’s vision? If not, where do you  need clarity, and how are you going to find it?  What if there is a  conflict?  How will you deal with that? What does Kouzes and Posner say  about vision?
