Description

Leading a Professional Change: Clarify Your Direction, Decide and Take Action

Thirty minutes online to turn a desire for professional change into a first dated decision

  • 0.07 days — 0.5 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • All levels
  • Up to 6 participants

Changing role, profession or organisation often remains at the level of intention. Questions pile up, the timing never feels right and energy dissipates between competing hypotheses. Without a method, hesitation lasts far longer than it needs to.

A thirty-minute virtual module to lay the groundwork: naming what you want to change, checking what is genuinely within your control and committing to a first dated action. The very short format is designed to create immediate momentum rather than to build a complete career transition plan over several days.

Learning objectives

  • State the intended professional change in a single sentence
  • Distinguish what is within your control from what is not
  • Identify the sources of support available in your professional network
  • Commit to a first action with a date and a verifiable outcome

What makes this programme different

The module is completed in thirty minutes with no preparation required
Each sequence ends with a written question to complete
The output is a dated action rather than an intention

Programme

1Naming the Intended Change

Moving from vagueness to one clear sentence

  • Describing the current situation and what is not working
  • Formulating the desired change in a single sentence
  • Checking that the wording can be verified

2Sorting Through the Options

Separating the possible from the desirable

  • Distinguishing what depends on you from what depends on others
  • Listing real constraints and assumed constraints
  • Identifying two sources of support you can call on

3Taking Action

A dated action rather than an intention

  • Choosing a first action that can be completed quickly
  • Defining the sign that will show it has been done
  • Anticipating the most likely obstacle

Who is it for

Anyone considering a move to a new role or a career transition who wants to move from intention to action.
