Your Work

Think about your last full working week. Not an ideal week — an actual one.

These are the discrete tasks — the visible, describable work.

What happened last week that only you could have handled — not because of your title, but because of what you specifically know or can do?

Where That Sits

What You Carry

What do colleagues come to you for that isn't in your job description?

If someone who didn't know your job title watched you work for a week, what would they say you were actually good at?

Two Questions to Sit With

Looking at the picture you've built — where does the weight of your professional value actually sit? Is it concentrated in the parts of your work that are most exposed, or has this process revealed that the centre of gravity is somewhere less visible?

What's the one thing this process has shown you that you didn't quite have language for before — and what does it suggest you should pay attention to over the next twelve months?

For the full guided experience, The Working Picture takes you through all four movements in depth.
