Strengths inventory and identity beyond the last role
When your job ends or changes, it’s easy to feel like you’ve lost a piece of yourself. So much of our identity gets wrapped up in our job titles and daily routines. But here’s the fact: you’re so much more than your last role or what’s written on your CV.
Why This Matters
Transitions can shake your confidence, but they’re also a chance to remember - and sometimes rediscover - what you’re really good at. This is about looking beyond your old job description and getting clear on the strengths and qualities you bring to the table, no matter where you go next.
How to Start Rediscovering Your Strengths
1. Take a Strengths Inventory
Think back over your career (and even outside of work). What do people consistently come to you for? What tasks or projects have you enjoyed most? Where have you made a real difference? Write these down - even the small wins count.
2. Ask for Feedback
Sometimes others see strengths in us that we overlook. Reach out
