 Are you actually surprised at how much you’ve achieved and
how far you’ve come ?
 Do you feel there are a lack of opportunities for career
advancement?
 Do you find yourself dwelling on perceived “failures” more
than you celebrate your successes ?
 Do you over-prepare for meetings or tend towards
perfectionism?
 Do you feel underappreciated?
 Do you think your work should speak for itself and prefer
not to have to talk about your achievements?
 Are you much harder on yourself than you would ever be to
a friend?
