She had always wanted to be an artist, but after college, she had no clear path forward. She nannied while waiting for her life to start, but it never did. #2 Identity capital is our collection of personal assets. It is the repertoire of individual resources that we assemble over time.
These are the investments we make in ourselves, the things we do well enough or long enough that they become a part of who we are. #3 I had a similar experience as Helen. I went straight from college to graduate school, but I did something in between. I spent several years working as a grunt in logistics, but I also led a twenty-eight-day canoe expedition down the Suwannee River, 350 miles from the Okefenokee Swamp to the Gulf of Mexico. #4 I was able to help a 15-year-old mother of two get her life back on track by working at an Outward Bound camp.
But I was also concerned about Helen, who wasn't earning any capital.
