For 20 minutes, create a collage (this could be either on paper or in digital form) representing your own self‐portrait based on the following 10 points for creating your portrait. Place your name in the centre of the collage.

Reflect on your answers to these questions. Is there anything that surprises you about your answers? Have you gained new insights about yourself as a person? What do your collective responses tell you about who you are as a person?

Each time we (the chapter authors) do this activity, we are surprised at some of the things that emerge. No two collages are ever the same – there may be some common elements (such as a place of importance) but we are always interested in the things that evolve or transform (a key learning and its influence on us as persons). When we share these with others, the differences reflect changes in us as persons, our different experiences and learning from those, as well as shifts in thinking about our ‘being in the world’ and what is important over time. All this highlights how we exist in a dynamic state and are constantly evolving as persons.
