Professional Identity

Identity is what remains consistent across your roles. Naming it makes every document easier.

The thread

Look across your roles for the problem you are repeatedly asked to solve. That pattern is usually more telling than any title.

Person and practice

A professional identity can include values and ways of working, provided each is shown through something you actually did.

Where it lives

Once named, the same identity can shape a bio, a profile and an application without each having to start from nothing.
