The WOOP-CORE Method
WOOP-CORE is a five-layer leadership positioning system built by Under-Positioned. Each layer removes tactical, duty-based language and replaces it with proof of scope, influence, decision quality, and enterprise impact. It is designed for Senior Directors, VPs, executives, and experienced leaders whose real value is more complex than a standard resume can communicate.
01
Values and Vision
Positioning without direction is just wordsmithing. We start with what you actually value and the roles you are targeting, so every later decision is anchored to a real goal.
02
Value Translation Assessment (VTA)
A structured assessment that identifies where your leadership value is being lost in translation. The VTA surfaces enterprise scope, strategic influence, measurable outcomes, and the language needed to turn real experience into a clear senior-market signal.
03
WOOP Excavation
Want, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan. Four focused questions that surface the real gap between where you are today and where the market needs to see you.
04
CORE Translation
Communicate, Own, Resonate, Elevate. This is where job duties become evidence, and evidence becomes a narrative a hiring manager can repeat back in the room where decisions get made.
05
Three-Question Filter
Every claim on your resume is tested against three questions: Does it make them money, save them money, or keep them out of trouble? If a line fails all three, it gets cut.
