How Should You Use This Resource?
To get the most value, follow a structured approach:

Then, set up your capture system:
- Start your Weekly Win Log (10 minutes every week)

- Refine it using the Value Translation Test
Finally, implement the amplification strategy:
- Update your LinkedIn profile
- Practice your positioning in conversations
