[Verse 1] When review time comes around again You list the tasks that you have done But output language won't impress There's a better way to get this done Transform your work from what you did To strategic impact that you made Show the value that you bring That's how careers get upgraded [Chorus] Frame it strategic, make it shine Context, contribution, counterfactual line What you learned completes the story Strategic language brings the glory Don't just list what you have done Show the battles that you've won Frame it strategic, make it count That's what self-assessments are about [Verse 2] Start with context, set the stage What organizational goals were at play? What risks were lurking in the shadows? What challenges came your way? Then describe what you contributed Not in tasks but outcomes clear What changed because you were involved? What was protected from the fear? [Chorus] Frame it strategic, make it shine Context, contribution, counterfactual line What you learned completes the story Strategic language brings the glory Don't just list what you have done Show the battles that you've won Frame it strategic, make it count That's what self-assessments are about [Bridge] Ask yourself what would have happened If your work had not been there Be conservative but honest Show the value that you share Keep a log throughout the year Write those memos as you go Then review time becomes easy Editorial work, not memory show [Verse 3] What you learned shows you're growing Reflection demonstrates you care How will insights shape decisions? Shows maturity and flair From compliance to management Make your contributions seen Strategic framing tells your story Shows you're business-minded keen [Chorus] Frame it strategic, make it shine Context, contribution, counterfactual line What you learned completes the story Strategic language brings the glory Don't just list what you have done Show the battles that you've won Frame it strategic, make it count That's what self-assessments are about [Outro] Strategic language, strategic mind Leave the task list behind Show your impact, show your worth Strategic framing proves your birth As a leader in the making
