The Honest Inventory

Help me build an honest inventory of what I bring, based on evidence rather than self-image.

Inputs:
- 5 accomplishments I am proud of, with what I specifically did: [list]
- 3 moments at work when I lost track of time: [list]
- 3 tasks that consistently drain me: [list]
- Feedback I have received more than once: [list]

Tasks:
1. Identify the underlying capabilities behind the accomplishments (e.g., diagnosing ambiguous problems, building trust under pressure, translating between experts). Use plain language, not jargon.
2. Separate strengths that energize me from strengths that drain me.
3. Point out capabilities I seem to undervalue because they come easily.
4. Name which capabilities transfer to building, advising, investing, teaching or leading, and which are tied to my current role.

Output: a table (capability | evidence | energizing or draining | where it transfers).
