Your state
Why it matters.
Most opportunities travel through people, not portals. Five real relationships beat five hundred contacts on a screen.
The component skills.
Practise — activities that produce artifacts.
Map your five ~25 min
Name five people you'd want in your professional corner. For each: last contact, one thing you could do for them this month.
Artifact: The five with give-first notes
The 24-hour follow-up ~20 min
After your next professional interaction, send one follow-up within 24 hours — specific, short, no ask. Repeat four times over a month.
Artifact: Five follow-up messages sent
Missions — do it for real.
Mentors for this capability.
Matched from real, opted-in Lifelong Careers members through the Mentor Intelligence Network — with their trust states shown as stored. Source-listed is not the same as verified.
No opted-in mentors match this capability yet — none are invented. See the Mentors view or the full directory.
How assessment works.
Every submission gets a transparent first-pass against the mission's rubric — what was looked for and what was observed. Verified state requires a real review; the system never upgrades self-reported evidence on its own.
question_handling
Answers with point-reason-example; unknowns admitted openly
completeness
All parts of the task covered — nothing skipped or assumed away
preparation
Preparation before action: rates checked, plans made, materials ready
follow_through
What happened afterwards — the result and what changed
Accepted evidence: mission_submission, mentor_review, observed_application, work_sample.
Stated plainly — what this doesn't do
- — Submissions are private, self-reported evidence — they never become verified without a real review.
- — Mentor review for capabilities arrives in a later phase of this module.
