Storyline

Storyline is a life-planning system that employs the elements of story to help people understand and plan their lives.

As a process, Storyline is based on Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy. Frankl, the psychologist credited with the third Viennese school of psychology after Freud and Adler posited the primary longing in man is for a sense of meaning. He developed Logotherapy as a way of helping clients experience meaning in their lives.

Frankl’s Logotherapy involves having a project to work on, somebody to share love with and a redemptive explanation for their suffering.

As a life-planning system, Storyline offers clients a formal guide through Logotherapy, thus increasing personal engagement, emotional wellbeing and increased productivity in meaningful work.

Clients who take the time to create their Storyline enjoy the following benefits:

• A character model based on existing heroes and influencers they can aim their personal evolution toward. (Increased self awareness. Personal vision.)

• A clear definition of the roles they are playing (and not playing) in life. (Increased self awareness. Clarity)

• A prioritized list of personal relationships. A relationship grid reminding them of social priorities and responsibilities. (Personal boundaries. Defined relational priorities.)

• Clearly defined ambitions within each role they play. (Personal goals. Personal vision.)

• A final vision-casting grid that keeps them on track to tell a better story within each role they are playing in life. (Emotional wellbeing. Self awareness. Accountability. Increased productivity. Meaningful productivity.)
