For high achievers who accustomed to executing on a well-developed career plan, it can be scary to recognize the ladder you’ve been climbing isn’t right.

You’ve built a great reputation by working hard within your niche — but that focus has come with a cost.  You haven’t been exploring.  You aren’t sure whether other roles would suit you.  All you know for sure is you don’t want to stay where you are.

You want to project strength and competence. But inside you’re not certain at all.  How do you explain what you’re looking for when you can’t describe it yet?

Some people resign themselves to doing what they already know, because the process of identifying something better can seem overwhelming.

Don’t compromise.  After all, you have a portfolio of skills, knowledge, and contacts that you’ve earned through talent and hard work.

What you need is a plan to explore wisely, make strategic use of your time, and clarify the language to translate your accomplishments to new audiences.

I understand career change, and I understand high achievers.

Together, we’ll develop a customized action plan that includes reflection, research, and thoughtful networking to reduce risks, build and extend your reputation, and identify realistic possibilities for your next chapter.

This coaching package moves you through structured exercises to identify:

• The top priorities driving your career path in this chapter of your life.
• Your unique portfolio of strengths, resources, and decision strategies you’ll draw on for future career growth.
• A personalized networking and research plan designed to uncover opportunities and reduce the risks associated with career changes.
• A targeted short-list of roles, organizations, and opportunities for exploration and pursuit.
• The preparation strategy you’ll use to build conviction and sharpen your story when the right opportunity comes along.

We’ll create a career action plan designed around you.  For many clients, this is all they need.

If you wish for additional support as you implement your plan, I offer implementation coaching packages to provide ongoing accountability, application review, negotiation support, and thought partnership as you execute on the plan and respond to the opportunities you uncover.
