The Connection Audit: Does Your Story Connect to Their Real Story?
Use this audit to find where your story loses the room by missing the scene, the stakes, their real need, your judgment, or the result.
What this resource covers
This diagnostic helps you see where a strong background is still failing to connect in applications, interviews, and networking conversations.
It shifts the focus from generic self-description to the five points of connection: their story, the scene, the stakes, your judgment, and the result.
Why people use it
- Find where your examples are accurate but still too generic to land
- Pressure-test whether your story is actually relevant to the audience in front of you
- Leave with a clearer next revision before you spend more time applying or interviewing
How to use the audit

- Make a copy in Google Docs
