Activity: Exploring My Community Resource Map

A summary or bio story could be incorporated on your social media profiles, e.g., LinkedIn; within a cover letter for a career application; or for an answer during a job interview. Summaries are short and concise - three or four sentences.

There are a couple of routes you can take to develop your summary. Review your four stories for common themes, e.g., one of your core values is sustainability and this value is mentioned in two or three of your stories. Clearly sustainability is important and could be highlighted in your summary. Another route could entail taking one of your stories and refining it.

Summaries developed from your story are powerful because they are unique, personal, and memorable.
