Problem: You’ve done the work. Grown across roles. Delivered through change. But when someone asks “Tell me about yourself,” your answer still sounds like a job description.

Solution: Your story is your strategy. And if you can’t explain the through-line of your career, you’re asking people to guess what makes you credible.

How To Address It:

• Map your career turning points — what changed you, not just what promoted you
• Write your “next chapter” first: who are you becoming?
• Practice telling your story aloud — not to impress, but to land with clarity
• Cut the filler. Keep the momentum. Own your plot
• Use career coaching to shape your narrative into something intentional and leadership-aligned

If you can’t explain your story, don’t expect them to believe it.
