LifeSketch.co | Future Self Worksheet
Job Search Accelerator · Week 2: AIM · Identity – Future Self
Purpose: Before you can build the right career, you need a clear picture of who you want to be. This worksheet helps you assess where you are now, define the roles you want to play in your next chapter, and craft the purpose statements that will anchor your search. Complete this before your next coaching session.
Step 1
Wheel of Life Assessment
Rate your current satisfaction in each area of life on a scale of 1–10. Click anywhere inside a segment to set its level. The shape of your wheel tells the story of where you are right now.
Instructions: Click inside each colored segment to set your satisfaction level — the closer to the outer edge, the higher the score. Be honest about where you are, not where you wish you were. A full, round wheel = a balanced life. Most wheels are bumpy. That's the point.
Scale: 1 = Very dissatisfied | 5 = Getting by | 10 = Fully thriving
Scale: 1 = Very dissatisfied | 5 = Getting by | 10 = Fully thriving
Click inside any segment to set your satisfaction level · 1 = center · 10 = outer edge

Step 2
Future Self Inventory
First, brainstorm freely. Then define your key roles — starting with the Self foundation, then the life roles that matter most in your next chapter.
Now refine it. From your brainstorm above, identify your key roles below. For each, write a purpose statement — why does this role matter to me? You can include what the role looks like when it's working well. When you're done, click "Build My Purpose Statements" to generate Step 3.
| Role | Purpose Statement — Why does this role matter to me? |
|---|---|
| Self — The Foundation | |
| Self: MindCognitive & Mental | |
| Self: BodyPhysical & Health | |
| Self: HeartEmotional & Relational | |
| Self: SoulSpiritual & Purpose | |
| Life Roles — Customize to Fit Your Life | |
Complete Step 2 above, then click to generate Step 3
Step 3
My Purpose Statements
One card per role. Refine your purpose statement here — or write it fresh. A strong purpose statement answers "Why does this role matter to me?" and can include what the role looks like when it's thriving.
↑ Complete Step 2 and click "Build My Purpose Statements" to generate your cards.
Step 4
Professional Identity Deep Dive
Your career is one of your most important roles — but it is the vehicle, not the destination. This section helps you define your desired professional identity in service of the larger life you're designing.
Instructions: Answer each prompt as specifically as possible. Vague answers are hard to act on. The more concrete and personal your answers, the more useful this becomes as a targeting tool. See the case study below for an example of strong answers.

Case Study
Booker, 28 — Software Engineer transitioning to Product Manager
Professional Purpose
To work at the intersection of people and technology — solving hard problems that actually matter, not just maintaining code nobody sees. I want to make an impact I'm proud of and feel genuinely energized by what I'm doing.
Core Operating System
Values: autonomy, impact, continuous learning, community. Non-negotiables: minimum $82,500, intellectually stimulating work, no mind-numbing repetition, problems worth solving.
Energy & Passion
Working with VR, computers, and emerging tech. Creative problem-solving and brainstorming. Building things that change how people interact with technology. Strategy and finding unexpected connections between ideas.
Desired Impact / Direction
I'm becoming a product leader who bridges technical depth and human insight. Short-term: land a PM role with real ownership. Long-term: drive innovation at the frontier of human-technology interaction.
Integration
Meaningful, well-compensated work removes financial stress so I can show up fully in other areas of my life. When I'm energized by what I do professionally, it spills over — I'm more present, less anxious, and better in every other role I play.
