Make Your Real Value Visible and Enhance Your Career

You're told, "Own your career." 

Here's how to do it.

Meaningful Competence™


  • Eliminate unclear expectations.
  • Differentiate yourself to get favored jobs, promotions, contracts and more.
  • Be known for the real value you bring.
  • Enjoy the job you have today.

The Path to Career Enhancement

What does an enhanced career look like? Since careers are personal journeys, they look different for each one of us. Here are examples of enhanced careers.


  • Jim didn't care to move into management, but he wanted to know that what he did for the company had value. Through Meaningful Competence™, Jim developed the ability to create and update Value-Added Outputs with each supervisor he worked for. The Value-Added Outputs provided the clear expectations and capability to view the value he produced to get the raises, bonuses, and recognition without requiring that move into management.


  • After six years, Kristi was ready for a career move. After investigating her next desired job, she used the Individual Mesh to identify the competence she needed to develop to successfully obtain and succeed in the job. By adjusting her Value-Added Outputs with her current employer, she built a record of results that supported her success in her new career.


  • Kyle's timing was bad. Just when he was starting his career, the economy tanked. Kyle knew he needed more than thinking happy thoughts and working hard. He needed to know his real value to represent it when opportunity came knocking. Each day he worked in the fast-food restaurant, he focused on achieving his Value-Added Outputs. The confidence he gained through visibly seeing his success propelled him into the law profession, aided by a scholarship and degree from a highly-rated university. He continues to set Value-Added Outputs and use the four leverages of competence development to further his career. 


  • Jordan chose to build a new business after being laid off. Fortunately he had confidence in his value to perform the work customers asked. His success led to the possibility of increasing his company. But how would he make sure they produced the value requested? He was used to letting a Human Resource team help with hiring and leading employee evaluation activities. Fortunately Jordan could express his expectations in terms of Value-Added Outputs. Using the tools of Meaningful Competence™, his employees, both contracted and hired, knew Jordan was interested in their career success. Their production enhanced Jordan's career as his business grew.

The Value-Added Output: Key to Career Enhancement

Value-Added Outputs provide the clarity you need to expose your real value,and allow you to better target your career improvement efforts. A Value-Added Outputs is:


  • Something you produce—a service, physical product, event, document, or other countable output—that is proven to influence Relevant Business Results. 


What do Value-Added Outputs look like? Here are a few.

Questions about the Career Enhancement Academy

How long are academy programs?

You control the time it takes to go through academy programs, with the exception of The VidBook Club. Your career develops at the pace you set. You can use the career-life situations to focus on your current needs, reducing time to your next career enhancement.

What results can I expect when you implement Meaningful Competence™?

When you implement even one element of Meaningful Competence™, you'll reduce job and career frustration while increasing your ability to get the career enhancement event you seek. Even when you didn't get the output you desired, you know your value and know that you have more options than supervisors and coworkers who don't know the Meaningful Competence™ strategy. 

When will I see results?

As soon as you implement elements of the program you'll see results. When you develop Value-Added Outputs, you'll have clear expectations and know the value you bring to you and your organization. As you use the Individual Mesh you'll know what's blocking your progress. I'm not going to say you'll always like the answers you get as you implement Meaningful Competence™, but you'll have what you need to have the job and career you want.

Why did you create the Meaningful Competence™ strategy

I didn't want anyone to be subject any longer to unfair performance appraisals, lack of clear job expectations, or other damaging organizational and supervisor practices.
