More Than Your Title — A Career Diagnostic Workbook
You don’t need to figure out your whole life. Just the next step.
A career diagnostic workbook for people who know something isn’t working — but can’t quite name what should come next.
Still working but mentally gone, recently departed, or quietly going back to what you know because nothing else seemed to want you — if you’ve been thinking “I just know this isn’t it anymore,” this was made for you.
Sound familiar?
You’ve probably tried the personality quiz or the strengths assessment. Maybe it told you something that felt right. But knowing your type or your top five strengths didn’t tell you what to do next. The self-knowledge is there. The filter for using it isn’t.
Maybe you’ve scrolled job boards at midnight and realized you can’t tell the difference between what you want and what you’re just willing to tolerate.
Maybe you reached for something different and got silence. So you went back to what you know — not because you wanted to, but because it was the only door that seemed to open.
Or maybe you’re still at your job, still telling everyone it’s fine. But you’ve mentally checked out, and “so what’s next?” makes your chest tight.
You’re not in crisis. You’re functional. From the outside, you might look fine. But something shifted, and you can’t unshift it.
Deep down, you sense that what’s keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of options. It’s something older and harder to name — a belief about who you’re supposed to be, an identity welded to a job title for so long that losing the title feels like losing yourself.
You’re not broken.
You’re in between.
And nobody makes tools for that. Until now.
Before the job search
Here’s what most career advice gets wrong.
It starts with the job market and tries to fit you into it. Update your resume. Optimize your LinkedIn. Cast a wider net. But none of that works if you don’t know what you’re looking for — and what you’re done tolerating.
What if the problem isn’t what’s out there? What if it’s that you haven’t organized what’s in here? Your patterns. Your non-negotiables. The beliefs you’ve been carrying that aren’t even yours.
That’s the work that comes before the job search. And it’s the work almost everyone skips.
Why this exists
This workbook wasn’t written from theory.
It was written from the scar tissue of learning what doesn’t work. I’ve taken a job out of desperation that put me in survival mode for over a year because I didn’t know my financial floor. I’ve made excuses for employers who didn’t value me because I hadn’t learned to value myself yet.
Nothing I found addressed the real stuckness. Everything was a starting point without a next step, too expensive, or too reckless. So I built something practical, honest, and grounded in real experience — something that trusts you already have the answers. You just haven’t organized them yet.
— Vivian
Imagine going from this…
From
— Scrolling job boards at midnight hoping something will click
— Saying “I’m fine” while quietly dreading Monday
— Feeling guilty for wanting something different
— Comparing yourself to people who seem to have it figured out
— Accepting roles out of desperation and ending up right back where you started
To
→ Knowing your recurring patterns well enough to describe them in one sentence
→ A personal filter that gives you a clear yes, no, or not right now
→ Naming exactly what you’ve outgrown — as boundaries, not vague dissatisfaction
→ Knowing your financial floor, so you never accept something out of desperation again
→ One concrete step in the next seven days. Not a perfect step — a next step
You won’t walk away with a five-year plan. You’ll walk away with something more useful: the clarity to move without panic.

What You’ve Outgrown
Flipping complaints into values and excuses into beliefs. Naming what you’re done with.

The AI Prompt Kit
Six prompts plus a bonus, one for each workbook section, built for Claude, ChatGPT or any AI tool. Copy a prompt, paste it in, and the AI asks for your workbook answers one at a time. Nothing to edit, no prompt-writing skills needed.
The AI is the lens. Your answers are the material. Each prompt keeps the AI inside the workbook’s framework: patterns, not preferences; elimination, not discovery; honest, not gentle.

You might be thinking…
-
You could. You’d get a generic conversation following the same “discover your passion” framework everyone else uses. What you wouldn’t get is the sequence, the flip exercises, the belief excavation, or a framework built from real experience. The AI is an oven. This workbook is the recipe.
-
That’s exactly why the workbook includes a financial floor exercise. For less than one hour with a career coach, you get a reusable tool that helps you avoid the far more expensive mistake: taking a role out of desperation.
-
You’re not starting from scratch — you’re starting from experience. The patterns you find in Section 2 don’t belong to your industry. They belong to you. What changes is the container. What stays is you.
-
This isn’t a personality quiz, and it’s not a replacement for tools like CliftonStrengths or Myers-Briggs. Knowing your type doesn’t tell you what to do next. This workbook picks up where those assessments leave off.
-
It doesn’t promise a five-year plan. It promises you’ll know what you bring into every room, what you’re done tolerating, and what your next step needs to include. That’s enough to move.
-
You’re not deciding blind anymore. The workbook gives you a filter built from your own evidence — your patterns, your non-negotiables, your floor. That’s the difference between a desperate move and a clear one.
This is for you if…
You’re in transition — between jobs, checked out of your current one, or quietly outgrowing your path
✓
✓
You’ve been working long enough to have a track record, and some disillusionment
You’ve tried assessments, therapy or job boards, and none of it turned into a clear next step
✓
You sense what’s keeping you stuck is tied to identity or inherited expectations
✓
✓
✓
You want structure that doesn’t require blowing up your life
You’re willing to be honest with yourself on paper
✗
✗
✗
✗
This is not for you if…
You need a better resume, LinkedIn or interview prep — this comes before all of that
Your problem is purely tactical, like salary negotiation
You want someone to tell you what career to choose
You want a five-year life plan — this solves for the next step
Questions you might have.
-
Instant digital download after purchase: a printable PDF and a fillable PDF. No waiting, no shipping, no subscription.
-
One focused sitting or a weekend. Most people spend two to four hours, though some sections invite you to sit with your answers before moving on.
-
A PDF reader, or a printer and a pen. To type in the fillable version and save your answers, use Adobe Acrobat Reader (free). For the AI Prompt Kit, a free Claude or ChatGPT account works fine.
-
That’s how it’s designed. Your patterns stay, but your non-negotiables and filter evolve. Many people use it again in each new season.
-
Every worksheet points you to the Starting Points section, where sample answers show the depth the prompts are asking for. The AI Prompt Kit can take you further.
-
No. The workbook may surface emotional material, but it is not a substitute for professional mental health support. If you’re in crisis, please reach out to a mental health professional.
-
Because it’s a digital product, all sales are final. This page is meant to give you a clear picture of exactly what you’re getting before you buy.
One Last Thing.
If you’ve read this far, something resonated. That’s your signal — not to buy this workbook, necessarily, but to stop ignoring the thing that brought you here. This workbook won’t give you the answers. It’ll help you find the ones you’ve been carrying all along.
You are more than your title.
More Than Your Title is a self-guided diagnostic workbook designed to support personal reflection and career clarity. Individual results vary. This product is not a substitute for professional career counseling, therapy, or financial advice.
