Feras Alhlou walks through a positioning exercise: list 10 problems you can solve using your skills and credentials, then identify five industries or geographies where you can become a trusted advisor. This framework helps early-career professionals turn what they know into concrete value.
Identify 10 problems you know how to solve. You have skills, you have experience, you've been in corporate. Even if you're on the younger side, if you graduated from college a couple years ago and you're building your skills, you have, you've done things, right? So from the skills that you have, hard skills, soft skills, from your education, your certifications, identify 10 problems you know how to solve and you know how to do well, how to manage well, and then look for 5 industries or business types, business sizes, you know, geographies that likely have those problems, and you are the one, the trusted advisor that people will come to to help them solve their problems.
