This week's action: The "February Update." Open your Resume and your LinkedIn profile today. Add at least one bullet point describing a tangible result, project, or "win" you’ve achieved since January 1st.
Why this matters: If you wait until December to look back, you will forget the nuances of your hardest wins. More importantly, high-performers maintain "Live Documents."
Updating your credentials now isn't about looking for a new job; it’s about psychological leverage. When you see your wins in black and white, you stop asking for "seat at the table" and start acting like you own it. It shifts your internal narrative from "I hope I'm doing enough" to "Here is the value I’ve already created."
How to execute the February Update:
Quantify the 10%: Don't just say you "worked on a project." Use numbers. "Reduced output time by 15% using [Tool]" or "Led the first phase of X."
The LinkedIn "Micro-Flex": You don't need a formal post. Just update your 'Experience' or 'Projects' section. The algorithm (and recruiters) notice the activity even if you don't broadcast it.
Audit Your Trajectory: If you find it hard to write down a single win for the last 40 days, let that discomfort be your wake-up call.
