Who's This For
You understand the Impact Identity dimensions conceptually. Now you need a way to actually excavate what's in them for you specifically.
This issue is for anyone who benefits from structured processes, especially those done with others. Even if you've worked through your impact identity before, doing this exercise with colleagues or in a cohort reveals new things. You hear how others describe their journeys, you recognize alignment and differences, and you discover collaboration possibilities you wouldn't have seen alone.

The Partnership Moment
You've read about the six dimensions of Impact Identity. They make sense intellectually. But when you try to apply them to yourself, you get stuck.
"Personal motivations? I mean, I care about my research. I want it to matter."
That's true but not specific enough to guide your broader impacts design. You need a way to dig deeper, to surface the particulars of your identity that will shape what broader impacts actually fit you.
