Step 05: PROTOTYPE / Your Playbook
In this Step: PROTOTYPE, we answered these questions:
Your Playbook:
Assemble your advisory circle
Map your Superconnectors
Test your Personal Brand with your support system
Update your Personal Brand assets
Your career isn't a solo sport. It's a network effect waiting to be tested and then broadly activated.
Here's the truth about career moves: The best opportunities don't come from job boards – they come through people. But most people's network strategy is about as sophisticated as collecting LinkedIn connections like Pokémon cards.
The infrastructure you’ll test with:
Your Circle of Advisors: Who's your personal board of directors? Where are your knowledge gaps? Who tells you the truth when everyone else nods?
Your Superconnectors: Who are your career catalysts? Which relationships amplify your reach? Who opens doors you didn't know existed?
Your Support System: Friends & Family. Who's in your corner? Who needs to know your next move? Who's invested in your success?
Your Career Assets: the digital footprint that tell your story:
LinkedIn (Your digital handshake)
Resume (Your highlight reel)
Portfolio (Your proof of work)
Website (Your digital home)
5. The Asset Test: Does it tell a coherent story? Is it designed for your next level, not your last? Would it impress you if it wasn't yours?
