Skills build what you can do. They never decide what you're worth.

How to use it

Skills build what you can do; they shouldn't decide what you're worth. Keep two columns: Can (skills, results) and Am (your values, how you treat people, the promises you keep). If losing something tomorrow would wobble your worth, it belongs in Can.

How sure we are

S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.
