It’s All in the “Capital Investments”

To imagine and design your career, you must start by examining your job history – roles, responsibilities, assignments, projects and promotions you have experienced over time. By developing this snapshot of your career path you discover (confirm?) where you are today. Is your career advancing, holding steady or declining?

Do you know? How do you know? What are your goals? How do you set goals and measure success? You will find some of these answers by evaluating the investments you have made in your Career Capital, the cumulative value of your human, intellectual, social, and structural capital. Your career capital is the largest income-producing intangible asset you own.

Career Capital is the foundation of your career. Embracing the concept requires you to manage it as an investor, the same way you manage your wealth. More than just buzz words, understanding and leveraging your “Capital Investments” will make the difference in your success.

Human capital is the sum of your talents, education, accomplishments, skills, strengths, abilities, experience, personality, reputation, credentials and behavior as they relate to your career.

Intellectual capital is comprised of the ideas, improvements, inventions, insights, and innovations that you have created, developed and applied to add value for any company, product, or service that you own.

Social capital is that intangible, immeasurably valuable asset you gain by cultivating and working your network. Social Capital includes the relationships, trust, reputation and likeability that you have built along the way. Used and invested wisely, just as you would money, you may find the ROI surprisingly high.

Structural capital is the cumulative value of all the data, information, knowledge, ideas, know-how, show-how and wisdom you have that has propelled your career to date. In advancing your career – you need to put a dollar figure to that value.
