Question 2 of 6  Β·  Current Influence Signal

If the decision-maker who holds your next opportunity looked you up right now, what would they find?

They would struggle to understand what I do or what I am known for.
They would see my role and employer, but I would look like many others at my level.
They would understand my function and some of my value, but not what to choose me for.
They would see a clear category, specific result, and strong reason to choose me.
I am not sure what my current signal is saying.
Question 3 of 6  Β·  Primary Selection Gap

Where do you believe your selection gap is happening right now?

The right people do not know enough about me.
They know my work, but cannot clearly explain why I am the right fit.
My proof exists, but it is not visible or repeated enough.
No one is actively carrying my name into the room.
I am not sure, but I know my value is not traveling far enough.

What would be measurably different in 12 months if your selection signal was working?

I would be shortlisted for a specific role, promotion, board, or committee.
I would have stronger inbound interest from clients, partners, or decision-makers.
My name would be recommended in rooms I am not in.
I would have stronger authority in my market, function, or industry.
I would have a documented selection signal system instead of random effort.
I would feel confident that my value is being seen at the right level.
Question 5 of 6  Β·  Selection Barrier

What has stopped you from fixing your signal before now?

I did not have a clear framework for what to build.
I tried posting, networking, or self-promotion β€” but nothing compounded.
I felt uncomfortable making myself visible.
I kept waiting for my work to speak for itself.
I was too busy delivering the work to package the proof.
I did not know which decision-makers needed to see what.

Fully ready β€” I can attend live and complete weekly signal work.
Mostly ready β€” I may miss one session but can watch within 48 hours.
Ready with constraints β€” I can commit if the work is focused.
Interested, but I may need a future cohort.
