Five coaching questions, twice a year.
This is the file you need to chart your own course.
Somewhere in your organization, there used to be a person whose job included noticing your career trajectory. Writing it down. Saying your name in rooms you were not in. For most professionals, that job is vacant now. If no one fills the void, your career growth is likely to suffer.
Fortunately, you can do this work for yourself. It starts with asking the right questions.
Track — Which career track you are on, and who chose it?
Sponsorship — How many of the six jobs a sponsor used to do are vacant?
Sources — Where did your beliefs about the future of your field actually came from?
Terms — Which term or condition for staying you are missing?
Direction — What you are building toward?
The answers are documented on one printable page.
In 30 minutes or less, you'll walk away with confidence and clarity — one action per line that reflects the reality of your life and goals today.
