Another great entry Em and the Lifeline tool is a really interesting one to do over time. I have used this with leaders and mentees asking them to map out their career with learning new things and the enjoyment of their role. The exercise tends to show that when you start something new, or push yourself outside of the comfort zone your learning is high as well as your enjoyment.

As you have highlighted too the lows almost are always followed quite quickly with highs, however the time it takes for the high to occur can range from hours, days or even years. A key thing to note is that they will happen - work context at least - but you've often go to do something for them to occur, keeping everything the same will unlikely lead to change.

I look forward to your next entry!

Indeed - that’s a very good point about starting something new/stepping out of comfort zone 🙌🏻 Thank you for reading x
