Welcome to the Story Elevation Challenge!

Instructions

Follow the instructions below to complete the course and begin a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

1. Decide whether you will do story elevation by yourself or with a group.

While this experience is discussion-based and designed to be completed with other people, individuals can modify it. Rather than answering discussion questions in a group, an individual participant can reflect on them and record their personal thoughts in a journal.

2. Decide when you will begin the challenge and what cadence you would like to follow to complete the discussions.

This class is designed to take 13 weeks. During the first 12 weeks, individuals will explore different topics that influence their life story. In the final week of the program, individuals will have the opportunity to take what they learned and write their life stories.

The cadence of the topic discussions can be modified to best meet unique needs and circumstances. Some people may prefer to do a monthly meeting or a daily meeting, but whichever cadence is chosen should be consistently maintained.

3. Decide how you will record notes and insights.

As participants discuss each topic, they will gain new insights into their life stories. Participants will want to decide how to record and organize these ideas. Some options include writing them in a journal, a computer document, or notes on a phone.

4. Complete the 12 discussions.

Each discussion is made up of pre-discussion preparation, discussion questions, and post-discussion activities.

Pre-discussion preparation: Activities to do individually before each discussion
Discussion questions: Questions to answer together during the discussion
Post-discussion activities: Activities to do individually after each discussion

5. Write your life story.

A step-by-step writing guide will be provided later in the course.
