#71: From ‘Quitting Is The Only Option’ To Planned Exit On THEIR Terms
Are you feeling so consumed by your work that you’re ready to quit without a plan — EVEN if it could lead to serious financial and career setbacks?
Today, we’re talking about how to stop running away from your current situation when you’re a senior leader or executive at a career crossroads — and start intentionally creating the future career you want.
This episode is part of the ‘Career By Design’ case study series, where I give you an exclusive, behind the scenes look at my clients’ career transformations. My intention with this series is to show you there isn’t one definition or clear pathway to success. Instead, it’s about identifying what this looks like to YOU.
Despite their different backgrounds, there are 3 things every client has in common which you can use to create a career by design too:
1. Clarity: Getting clear on what’s missing in your current career and what you want before attempting to change it
2. Confidence: Managing your mindset and shifting the self-doubt holding you back in your career to build confidence
3. Career Strategy: Focusing on solving the right problem and knowing which strategies will get you results at this stage of your career
In this case study, you’ll hear how one executive leader went from ready to resign to creating a 2-3 year transition plan — without even changing roles. Discover how taking ownership of their career kept them from making a reactive decision out of fear and the exact steps you can take to make a strategic career move.
You’ll learn:
- The first step you MUST take when you’re depleted and putting yourself under pressure to figure out your options, so you find clarity on your career direction
- How this client went from ready to resign and doubting his abilities to knowing his worth — without EVEN changing jobs
- The counterintuitive approach that turns an urgent escape plan into a strategic career move, so you dont stay stuck at a crossroads
- Top takeaways you can apply right now to create a career on your terms — even if walking away seems like the ONLY option
So hit play now — and let’s dive in!
