2 min readOct 11, 2022

The above model was developed in 2016. Its original name is “Career Landscape”.

As a serial creator and a lifelong thinker, I am passionate about intellectual development and life reflection. Initially, I was influenced by Chris Argyris’ Action Science and Donald Schön’s Theory in Practice and The Reflective Practitioner. In 2014, I started learning Ecological Psychology, Activity Theory, and other theoretical approaches.

I wrote my first learning autobiography in 2015 and was attracted to biographical studies. In 2016, I developed a framework called Career Landscape which is inspired by Activity Theory, Communities of Practice, and other ideas. I also developed a series of tools such as the Learning Autobiography Guide, Learning & Reflective Cards, Learning & Reflective Canvas, Learning & Reflective Monthly Report Template, etc.

The Activity-Achievement Model (2016) is my early knowledge curation work. It was born from a 1:1 life reflection coaching project. In order to explain the client’s life and career experience, I made the Activity-Achievement model for the case.

The AA model is developed for a group of people with a high Need for Achievement, not for everyone.
