Key Milestones

A rubric for capturing significant events and turning points that define the trajectory of personal and professional paths.

In a personal history there are moments that become reference points: changes of direction, important decisions, achievements, or crises. The rubric collects texts about such milestones, helping to see the path not as a chaotic set of events but as a coherent line of development. Fixing key moments allows one to revisit experience and build clarity about future steps.

Key ideas
  • transitions and turns
  • self-determination
  • personal trajectory
Practical application
