What in your career can move with you?

You have built skills, judgment, and evidence that belong to you, but most of it is still buried inside job titles and company language. This inventory walks you through pulling it out and making it usable somewhere else.

Fill it in on your computer or print it. No email required.

Something you can actually use after you close the workbook.

01

10 moments of evidence

Specific examples of what people relied on you to do and what changed because you did it.

02

3 portable skills

Capabilities written in language someone outside your company can understand.

03

1 portability score

A practical look at what already travels and what still depends on your current environment.

04

A 7-day market test

A small way to test the language with real people before rebuilding your career around it.

Built for a first attempt

You are not expected to know the answers yet.

Most people have never been asked to separate what they can do from the title, systems, and authority of the company where they did it. The workbook explains the process, shows you a completed example, and gives you prompts for the places people usually get stuck.

Collect the raw material

Use your calendar, messages, files, and memory to find 10 moments when someone relied on you.

Turn activity into evidence

Separate the situation, your action, and what became different afterward without inventing a metric.

Find what repeats

Identify the decisions, problems, and outcomes that show up across different projects or roles.

Test what might travel

Compare the skill with real market language, score what depends on one employer, and send the included message.

A portable skill is the starting point. It is not a visa.

The inventory helps you identify and translate the part of your career you own. It also explains the difference between a skill that can travel, a job arrangement that can travel, and the legal setup required to work from another country.

I built this because titles hide more than they explain.

I help experienced people turn the careers they have already built into options they can take across employers, income models, industries, and borders. This is the first exercise I would want you to complete before deciding that you need to start over.

Start with what you already have. Then decide where it can go.
