You know your work, but how well do you know yourself? The things we do are an extension/expression of who we are and who we want to be. Our future resume is not a list but a compilation of how people introduce and feel about us. Let's check-in with where we are right now, what we value and desire, and go from there! This worksheet is usually accompanied by a workshop from TheOrangeHive.com, but this alone is useful and enlightening!

HELLO, MY NAME IS ________________________
Check­in! Look at your Orange Hive mentors ­­ what they’re wearing, how they’re looking,
standing, possibly feeling, doing, etc. Make some snap judgements ­­ it’s ok to be harsh.
What are you looking forward to learning, questioning, or taking away from today?
If we sprinkled some magic on this workshop, what would happen by the end?
Why is it important to be who are, or to be who you want to be, or seem to be who you are?
When have you been mistaken for something you are not? When did you feel not yourself?
Now, if you have 5 imaginary lives, what would you be doing in them? Have fun with this!
Practice the objective­subjective game ­­ see how strange you can make your associations!

1. Let’s figure out your values! Partner up and write down
things you notice about yourself. CIRCLE key values.
If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability,
what would it be?
What’s your greatest accomplishment or defining moment?
What’s something you’ve dreamed of of doing for a long time? Why haven’t
you done it?
Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your
loved ones & pets, you can get two more items. What would they be?
Why?
Imagine that you are in an argument ­­ the worst crisis or conflict you’ve
ever had. Which person(s) is it with? What is it about? Switch the mode
between personal & professional.
If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with
anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone?
What do you NOT value? What doesn’t define you?
2. Draw tiny timeline of your
pivotal moments in life.
