Career Capital Audit
You spent Week 3 mapping the customer. Now map your product. Take honest inventory of everything you bring to the table — your experience, skills, knowledge, character, and connections — and start spotting the patterns that make you the solution.
Step 1
Your Life & Career Story
Tell your story in your own words — freely and honestly.
Before we organize anything into themes or categories, let’s start with the story itself. This is your space to write freely — like you're catching up with an old friend or writing in a private journal. There is no "right" way to do this. Don't worry about sounding professional or impressive. Just get your story out.
1What have been the major chapters or seasons of your life and work so far?
2What moments, experiences, or turning points stand out as important — even if they don’t look impressive on paper?
3Where have you felt most alive, proud, in flow, frustrated, or like you were really growing?
4Looking back, how did you get from where you started to where you are now? What’s the thread that connects it all?
Take your time. This narrative is the raw material we’ll build on for the rest of the audit.
Step 2
Capital Inventory
A fast, broad sweep across the five categories of career capital.
Think of your career capital as your professional currency — the unique mix of skills, knowledge, experience, character, and connections you've built over time. This is a quick brainstorm, not an exhaustive list. Jot whatever comes to mind in each box.
