Organization Development

Training Experience:

Complete the “Life Goals Exercise”, first phase only, letters A-C.

1. Draw a straight horizontal line from left to right to represent your life span. The length should represent the totality of your experience and future expectations.
2. Indicate where you are now.
3. Prepare a life inventory of important “happenings” for you, including the following:
   1. Any peak experiences you have had
   2. Things which you do well
   3. Things which you do poorly
   4. Things you would like to stop doing
   5. Things you would like to learn to do well
   6. Peak experiences you would like to have
   7. Values (e.g., power, money, etc.) you want to achieve
   8. Things you want to do now

This is a very personal exercise, designed to help you put your career and life planning into perspective. I encourage you to give it as much effort as possible. Your grade will reflect the effort you have placed into this exercise.
