Voyage Mapping (Individual Coaching Version)

• Review and share experience from completed projects, challenges and tasks
• Identify and clarify the learning that is available from those past experiences
• Use the improved understanding of the past experience to anticipate and prepare for future challenges 

Who is this for?

Voyage Mapping is about imagining a future, or exploring people's experiences by mapping and communicating a journey. The activity is equally effective when used to reflect on an individual, personal or professional journey, or the journey of a group, team or organisation.

How does the metaphor of a voyage help with this?

Many individuals use the metaphor of a journey to describe their experiences;

• “It’s been a long, hard road….”
• “It’s been an uphill struggle but I think we’ve reached the summit…”
• “We’re at a crossroads: we need to make a very decisive change in direction.”

Voyage Mapping encourages participants to tell their stories of the
journey they have been on, individually and together, through the course of a learning process, a project or a business challenge. It can also help them describe the challenges, rewards and other future scenarios they can imagine, and their likely responses.

What experiences specifically does this metaphor help explain?

The activity uses the idea of an old-fashioned sea voyage to
represent the way in which explorers brought back with them the accounts of the events and incidents which shaped their voyage and the ‘tales’ of what they discovered. These stories include new knowledge and skills that were acquired, dangers faced and overcome and accounts of the feelings, relationships and memories which they shared.

As these stories are remembered and explored, learning emerges that can then be used and applied in planning for future voyages of
discovery.

Cleaning Tip
After continued use some pen residue may be left on the maps, even if using write-on, wipe-off pens. In this case restore the surface like new by using a 'label remover' substance such as the one we use: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000IU3VSA/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1
