How To Tell Your Career Story and Stop Underselling Yourself

How to stop saying 'I managed our top accounts' when you actually drove $10M in revenue.

The gap between what you've accomplished and how you talk about it is one of the most expensive problems in your career. It costs you in interviews, in compensation conversations, in visibility, and in the next move you can't quite make. This workbook helps you see exactly where your story is underselling everything you've built.

WHAT'S INSIDE

  • A mirror for your current language. You'll see the exact phrases high performers use that sound impressive but aren't landing, and why they're costing you in interviews, compensation conversations, and visibility.

  • The Career Impact Audit. A quick exercise that surfaces the raw material of your career story. You'll write about 2-3 career moments in your own words, then see whether what you wrote sounds like a job description or an impact story.

  • The translation framework. The tool that turns "I ordered extra stock" into "$100,000 in strategic savings." You'll run your strongest career moment through guided questions and walk away with a narrative you can actually use in your next interview, board meeting, or negotiation.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth

I spent 20 years in tech leadership, building partner programs and global communities across 180+ countries. I went from generating $500K in 18 months at my first startup, while only earning $30K because I couldn't articulate any of it, to earning $300K+ in senior roles in just 8 years. The difference wasn't more credentials. It was learning to translate what I'd done into language that matched the value I was actually creating.

Now I help senior professionals close that same gap. So you can command your worth, build your visibility, and stop being your company's best-kept secret.
