A few days ago, Lenese was thinking about career growth and future possibilities.
Today, she's asking different questions:
- What skills do I have that people would actually pay for?
- How quickly can I create income?
- Where do I start?
Listening to her navigate this crisis reminds me of something important:

We assume our value is obvious because we've been using it every day.
It isn't obvious until you're forced to explain it, package it, or sell it.
That's why ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ isn't just about having a good job.
Career resilience is about understanding your value independent of your job.
If your position disappeared tomorrow, could you clearly answer these questions...
โข What problem do I solve?
โข Who needs that problem solved?
โข What is that solution worth?
โข How would I generate income if I had to?
These aren't questions to answer during a crisis.
They're questions to answer before the crisis.
