As we are closing in on 2023, I think it is a good time to discuss one of the best resources you can create in the role to help show the value you provide the team(s) you serve.
This resource is: END OF THE YEAR REVIEW
This is a document I started in 2019, honestly to spite my Chief of Staff when I asked for a raise and he asked me what I did in the position. So, I went to my office got on the computer went to LinkedIn (if you’re not posting, PLEASE post it’s the new resume) and typed out all the stuff I did. I went through notes and emails to find other things I did and put it all down. When I finished I had a 7 page document which spotlighted all I did.
I had a EUREKA moment and said I would do this every year I was in the role.
I talked about creating an End of the Year Review here:
In the End of Year Review document I created the following sections were in it:
Personal Wellness
Community Impact
Career Development
Programming
Academics
Projects
Personal Accomplishments
Miscellaneous
Program Tasks
If you haven’t created by this document and your saying I wish I knew this early, YOU STILL HAVE TIME!
Take time over the break, get it done, and share it with those who NEED to see it.
This document will help you in the hiring process as well.
2023 - Beyond The Field Accomplishments
Before I list the accomplishments that happened this year, I want to say this does not happen WITHOUT YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
These accomplishments mean a lot to me because they are continued resources I have been fortunate to create for a role in which I had NONE when I started.
I thank y’all for supporting, purchasing, sharing, and using theses resources.

I am amazed at what has been accomplished this past year. The biggest amazement in the accomplishments is your support.
Every message I get in support of what I am doing and what’s been created means more than you know.
Hearing y’all tell me to keep the content coming fuels me to new levels with Beyond The Field.
I LITERALLY received this message this morning and almost recorded 4 podcasts episodes, "Just found your page and love the content, it has been super helpful in solidifying that this is the next career move for me. Keep this content going, this is great stuff." - Someone who found and loves the content and is encouraging me to continue on.
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU.
2023 has been a BLAST, I honestly can’t believe this all happened. Thank you again for supporting and be on the lookout for the next Player Development Pod episode to end the year.
