Transition Intensive: Full Program Details

What follows is each of the five stages in order: what happens inside it, and what you walk out of it holding.

The five stages, in full

1

Career Audit & Direction

Audit your career · extract the signal · set direction

  • Walk your career role by role, live, until the pattern that repeats becomes visible.
  • Separate that pattern from the individual manager or year you have been blaming it on.
  • Set a direction you can defend, with conviction and evidence held up against each other.

You build: your Direction Brief. A locked, defensible direction, your own repeating pattern named, and the places where conviction and evidence part company.

2

Market Targeting

Narrow the market · mirror real demand · choose your segment

  • Translate the direction into a specific list of companies and roles.
  • Test that list against market demand rather than against what you would prefer to be true.
  • Choose the segment you are going after, and be able to defend it company by company.

You build: your Market Positioning Map. Your own target list, built from criteria you can defend company by company.

3

Application Architecture

Convert clarity into assets · hold up to real scrutiny

  • Turn the direction into a resume and profile that carry it.
  • Pressure-test both against live job descriptions from your own target list.
  • Hold the bar at a fit score you can measure, not at a feeling of readiness.

You build: your Positioning Kit. The architecture and target bar for your resume and profile, scored against your own target roles.

4

Networking System

Systemise outreach · track momentum

  • Learn one repeatable way to reach out, in place of scattered effort.
  • Build the network deliberately, with messaging you are not rewriting every time.
  • Track momentum, so you can see what is moving and what has stalled.

You build: your Outreach Playbook. Messaging templates and a tracker, built to be reused on your own.

5

Interview Readiness

Craft the narrative · pressure-test delivery · represent yourself strategically

  • Build the narrative in your own words, with your sign-off before anything gets tested.
  • Pressure-test it with coaching and correction, line by line.
  • Pressure-test it again under interruption, because that is how interviews go.

You build: your Career Narrative One-Pager. Your own story, signed off by you, pressure-tested and ready to deliver.

FAQs

I know I want to leave, but I’m not sure what I want next. Is this still a fit?

Yes. You don’t need the direction before you start. Finding it is the first stage. The goal is a direction you can defend and explain, not one you’re guessing at.

What if I’m changing function or industry, not just company?

That’s supported. The work maps your transferable strengths, defines the new role and scope precisely, and adjusts your positioning so the story holds even across a full change of field.

I’m tempted to apply broadly and see what sticks. Why not just do that?

Applying broadly usually creates noise, not momentum. This work narrows your targets deliberately, aligns your signal with what the market is actually hiring for, and builds a system that compounds instead of scattering effort.

How is this different from resume writing or interview prep services?

Those work on one piece in isolation. This is end-to-end: direction, market targeting, positioning assets, a networking system, and interview readiness, all connected. The goal isn’t to look good on paper, it’s to move with strategic clarity.

What if burnout, not role misalignment, turns out to be the real issue?

That’s worth naming honestly rather than guessing at from a page. Burnout ranges widely, from workable depletion to something that needs a different kind of support entirely, and no page can make that call accurately. A short discovery call sorts this out directly, and where you land afterward, including possibly a different kind of support, comes out of that conversation, not a guess made here.

How much implementation is expected during the 6 to 8 weeks?

A meaningful amount. You’ll be applying, reaching out, and iterating as you go, not after. The container is short by design, so steady weekly follow-through matters more than over-planning upfront.

What if interviews specifically are where I lose it? I don’t struggle with landing interviews, I struggle with converting them.

Then Stage 5 does more of the heavy lifting for you. We sharpen your career story, pressure-test your answers against the objections you will actually get, and calibrate delivery so it holds up under interruption rather than in a rehearsed run-through.

What if I get an offer and need help negotiating it?

That’s Offer Navigation, a separate, bounded module that activates once you have an offer or a firm verbal commitment on the table. It covers evaluating the offer, negotiation framing, and landing planning, so old patterns don’t repeat in a new context. Pricing for this is discussed directly once it’s relevant, not published here, since it only makes sense once there is an offer to talk about.

The first stage is direction, so you don’t need to arrive with an answer already. A call is where we work out whether the timing is right and whether a move is the thing that helps.
