A self-reflection tool for women who are ready to create assets from the value they already create.

You subscribed because something landed. Maybe it was a line in a post, a description that felt too specific to be a coincidence, or just a quiet sense that what you have been carrying around in your professional brain is worth more than your employer has paid you for it.

You are probably right.

This audit has two parts. The first is a checklist — two short lists that will take you about three minutes to complete. The second is a set of reflection questions that will take longer, because they are designed to. Keep your answers. Come back to them. They will mean more to you in six months than they do right now.

Part 1: The symptom check

Read each statement. Check every one that is currently true for you.

• [ ] When someone asks what I do, I lead with my job title instead of what I actually know how to do.
• [ ] I have explained the same concept, solved the same problem, or given the same guidance so many times I could do it in my sleep — and I have never been paid separately for that knowledge.
• [ ] I know my expertise has value, but I cannot tell you what it is worth outside of what my employer decides to pay me.
• [ ] I have thought about writing a book, building a course, or offering training — but I have not started because I am not sure what I have is enough.
• [ ] If my company was acquired, downsized, or restructured tomorrow, I would have to start over building credibility somewhere new.
• [ ] I get recognized at work as the person who just knows — but that recognition does not follow me anywhere outside that building.
• [ ] My income depends entirely on one organization's budget decisions, and that reality has made my stomach uneasy at least once in the past year.

Part 2: The inventory check

Check everything below that you currently own — not your employer's IP, not a shared resource, not a company asset. Yours.

• [ ] A named framework or methodology I developed and can describe in my own words
• [ ] A body of writing — a newsletter, blog, or publication — published under my own name
