Professional Identity Decoded
is this you…
You can’t easily answer the question: “What do you do?”
If you constantly change your answer to fit the situation or you default to something like “I’m a jack-of-all-trades,” that’s a sign you don’t actually know how to communicate who you are.
You wear so many hats it confuses people.
Are you listing three, five, or a dozen different things you do? Stop. Nobody understands a laundry list of identities. That’s hurting your cause, not helping it.
You’re hiding, minimizing or compartmentalizing parts of yourself to fit in.
Trying to fit into a work situation by denying part of who you are is exhausting. Eventually, you’ll either feel frustrated or disengaged, and you’ll leave that role. It doesn’t have to be that way. There is a workplace where you belong as your full set of identities.

I’ve been in
your shoes.
My career stalled. I didn’t feel seen, I was undervalued, and I thought I was a misfit. I didn’t realize I was undergoing a professional identity crisis.
I started studying professional identity through formal research to restart my career and understand who I was.
Through this process, I discovered the secret to being seen for my full talent and realized I was actually a hybrid professional!
Today, it’s my mission to share this knowledge with as many people as possible.

the fix?
Know thyself to know where you belong.
Attract work opportunities that see you for you and value your different professional identities.
Stop calling yourself a jack-of-all-trades.
You are a master of something. It’s not an either/or. When you clarify your primary professional identities, you’re able to articulate the foundational elements that make you, you! Once you know who you really are, your ability to communicate your value skyrockets.
How do you do this?
1) Define the different professional identities you possess.
2) Get clear on which ones are your primary and non-primary professional identities.
3) Validate your primary professional identities (the ones you want to be known for and are the truest you).
4) Communicate with confidence, conviction and clarity.
“Thank you Sarabeth! Your information was both irritatingly obvious and a revelation at the same time. It gave me a vocabulary to describe myself. I was able to feel a sense of calm amidst the inner turmoil I’ve experienced lately when trying to describe and define what I do and where I belong.”
“This definitely felt like the most useful career / professional identity session I’ve had. It was amazing to hear from someone who has thought deeply about how to navigate the exact issues that many of us have been laboring under.”
Course Overview:
Most people don’t know how to explain who they really are in their work.

In this course, you’ll gain conviction, confidence, and inner awareness about yourself in your work. By doing this series of deeply reflective activities, your self-concept will become more focused, and you’ll sound more sincere to whoever you’re talking to.

FAQ's
Shouldn’t I just update my resume or start a job search?
Your identity is actually the first place to start. When you can Identify your professional identities, then you’re more equipped to know how to write your resume and what keywords you need to use in a job search.
If you don’t know your professional identity, then you don’t know how to present yourself for new opportunities. Your prior job titles are not sufficient labels for you.
Why is decoding my professional identity important for my career?
When you’re seeking to attract new opportunities, you have to be able to tell people who you are to distinguish yourself. You need to explain what makes you stand out from others who have the same or similar job titles. No two marketing professionals are alike, right? Clarifying what makes you YOU helps people see you the way you want to be seen.
What is professional identity?
Professional identity is anything you do for work, whether or not you get paid. These are the identities you’d place on your resume, not hobbies, personal, or social identities. If you have a volunteer role or serve on a board, those can also be professional identities.
Professional identity is what you call yourself and how you think of yourself. It’s more than the job title that’s been given to you.
