Career Leverage Check™

C1: Capture — Performance Foundation

1. I regularly document my wins, contributions, and key outcomes as they happen.

2. I keep track of feedback (positive or constructive) from managers, peers, or stakeholders.

3. I can easily recall specific examples of my impact from the last 30–90 days.

4. My contributions—including behind-the-scenes or “invisible” work—are written down somewhere private.

5. When asked about my performance, I don’t rely on memory alone.

Self-Grade: Add your scores (1–5) and calculate: (Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5) ÷ 5 = Capture Score

C2: Clarify — Turning Work into Insight

1. I understand my strongest skills and how they’ve evolved recently.

2. I can clearly explain how my work has contributed to meaningful outcomes.

3. I see patterns in my performance that show where I’m growing—or where I’m stuck.

4. I know what I need to develop to be ready for my next opportunity.

5. I feel clear about what my recent work says about my progress.

Self-Grade: (Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5) ÷ 5 = Clarify Score

C3: Connect — Image & Understanding

1. The people who matter most understand the value I bring.

2. My work is connected to team or company priorities—not just tasks.

3. I know how to translate my effort into outcomes leaders care about.

4. I have mentors, advisors, or sponsors who understand my goals and trajectory.

5. I feel confident explaining my impact in a way that resonates beyond my role.

Self-Grade: (Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5) ÷ 5 = Connect Score

C4: Confidently Advocate — Exposure with Intention

1. I feel prepared for performance reviews or feedback conversations.

2. I can advocate for myself without feeling uncomfortable or unprepared.

3. I know how to speak about my work in interviews or promotion conversations.

4. I have people who can speak on my behalf in rooms I’m not in.

5. When opportunity comes up, I’m ready—not scrambling.

Self-Grade: (Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5) ÷ 5 = Confidently Advocate Score
