Part 2: Guided Exercises

Objective: To begin shifting from "Tactics" (applying for jobs) to "Strategy" (designing your future)

Step 1: Excavating Your Direction (The "What")

Before we worry about "how" to get a job, we must define the work you are meant for

Question 13 of 32

Exercise: The Flow Audit

Think back to the last 5 years of your career.

Identify 3 specific moments where work felt effortless, time flew by, and you felt energised.

 

Question 14 of 32

What is the common thread between these moments?

(e.g., solving complex problems, mentoring others, creative strategy)

Write your statement here...

 

Step 2: The Strategic Roadmap (The "How")

We need to build a bridge from your current reality to your new direction without "starting from the bottom."

Exercise: The Asset Stack (Reframing)

You are not an intern; you are a senior professional. We need to translate your skills into "transferable value."

Question 17 of 32

Skill 1 (Current Context):

e.g., "Managing a team of 5 customer support agents."

 

Reframe (Strategic Value):

e.g. "Operational Leadership: Optimising team workflows and crisis management."

 

Your Turn:

 

Question 18 of 32

Skill 2 (Current Context):

e.g. "Dealing with angry clients."

 

Reframe (Strategic Value):

e.g., "Strategic Account Retention & Conflict Resolution."

 

Your Turn:

 

Question 19 of 32

Skill 3 (Current Context):

e.g. "Organising the company retreat."

 

Reframe (Strategic Value):

e.g. "Culture Building & Internal Communications Strategy."

 

Your Turn:

 

Question 20 of 32

Gap Analysis:

What is the ONE tangible thing missing between your "Asset Stack" and your dream role? (Is it a specific software skill? A specific network connection? A portfolio piece?)

 

Write your gap here...

 

Question 21 of 32

Bridge Building Strategy:

How can you close that gap WITHOUT quitting your job or going back to school? (e.g., "I will volunteer to lead a project in X department to get that experience.")

 

Write your bridge strategy here...

 

Step 3: Mastering Your Mindset (The Value Equation)

Value drives income. The market pays for the SIZE of the problem you solve, not the hours you work

Exercise: Confronting the "Pay Cut" Myth

Many professionals believe a pivot requires a 20-30% pay cut. This is only true if you position yourself as a beginner.

Question 24 of 32

The Beginner Mindset: "I am new to this industry, so I will take whatever you give me to get my foot in the door."

 

The Expert Mindset: "I bring 15 years of high-level problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and leadership to this new context. I am a premium investment."

 

The Calculation:

Current Salary: $__________

Target Salary (Current + 20%): $__________

 

Why is your unique combination of skills (from Step 2) worth this Target Salary to a new employer? What expensive headache will you save them?

 

Articulate your value proposition here...

 

Part 3: The ROI of Expert Guidance

Objective: To conduct a cold, hard cost-benefit analysis of working with a career coach versus "DIY-ing" your future

The Cost of Inaction (The "DIY" Tax)

If you change nothing and continue trying to figure this out alone

Question 27 of 32

If you change nothing and continue trying to figure this out alone:

 

Financial Stagnation:

Current annual raise (approx): ________%

Potential salary jump from a strategic pivot: ________% (often 20-50%)

Cost of staying stuck for 1 more year: $__________ (The difference between the two)

 

Time Burn:

How many months have you already felt stuck? ________

How many more months are you willing to donate to a job that drains you? ________

 

Emotional Toll:

What is the "market price" of your mental health, sleep quality, and presence with your family?

 

Reflect on the non-monetary cost... outline your answers to these questions.

 

The "Acceleration" Value

Working with a coach isn't about "getting advice"; it's about buying speed and certainty

Question 29 of 32

What would it be worth to you to:

 

Skip the "Trial and Error": Stop guessing which jobs fit you and know with certainty.

 

Access a Proven Roadmap: Use a framework that has worked for hundreds of others.

 

Negotiate with Power: Have an expert in your corner helping you secure that 50% raise.

Conclusion & The Decision Point

You have now diagnosed the problem, identified the traps, and audited your assets. The data is in front of you.

Question 31 of 32

You are standing at a fork in the road:

A

Path A: The Status Quo. You close this workbook, go back to work tomorrow, and hope things eventually get better on their own. (Warning: Hope is not a strategy.)

B

Path B: The Strategic Pivot. You acknowledge that you cannot solve this problem with the same thinking that created it. You decide to invest in expert guidance to collapse the timeline between "stuck" and "thriving."

Question 32 of 32

Your Commitment:

I am ready to stop "thinking about it" and start building it. I commit to taking one bold action today.
