Journey Mapping
© Angela Hendrix Terry and Jolie Bain Pillsbury
The Journey Mapping Exercise allows leaders to reflect on and express how their own life experiences influence their understanding and assumptions about race, class, culture and other factors, e.g., gender or sexual orientation. These experiences may influence (consciously or unconsciously) the ways leaders approach their disparities work. From this self-awareness, leaders develop the ability to share their own and listen to others’ experiences to better explore the underlying assumptions that inform their strategies.
