Before making any moves, thoroughly evaluate how your current skills and experiences align with the role or company you're targeting. This means dissecting job descriptions, researching company culture, and understanding the new position's responsibilities. You must be honest with yourself about where your strengths lie and where you may need further development. This self-assessment phase is crucial because it sets the foundation for a successful transition by ensuring that the new role is a good fit for your expertise and career aspirations.

2 Network Smart

Leverage your existing network by informing trusted colleagues, mentors, and industry connections about your intent to transition. Networking should be approached with tact and strategy; focus on building genuine relationships rather than just collecting contacts. Engage in industry events, join professional groups, and participate in discussions. Your aim is to become a known entity in the circles that matter most to your desired career path. Remember, opportunities often come from who you know as much as what you know.

Here's something I learned from the Japanese when I ran marketing at a division of Panasonic/Matsushita. Get to know your competitors-- you can do this at trade shows and events. You don't need to share your own inside information at all. You each share information on other mutual competitors in the market. For example, if an executive at Panasonic is talking with an executive from Sharp, you can both share information about Ricoh or Minolta. This was a key learning that helped me develop new industry relationships to get smarter.

3 Update Brand

Your personal brand must reflect your new career trajectory. Update your resume, LinkedIn profile, and other professional materials to highlight the skills and experiences that are most relevant to your new path. This might involve rewording your accomplishments to emphasize transferable skills or taking on projects that showcase your capabilities in a new light. Your professional image should tell a cohesive story that aligns with where you're headed, not just where you've been.

I started my own business three years ago as a solopreneur -- an Interim CMO, and a CMO and private equity Advisor. This required me to to reposition myself as an executive advisor and interim / Fractional CMO to SaaS software and health tech firms which are portfolio companies of private equity investors. It's important to pick a narrow niche and not try to be all things to all people. Having selected my ideal customer profile and target audiences, I then began to articulate the problems that I help solve, including stopping random acts of marketing, driving superior cross-functional alignment in the go-to-market functions and customer-led growth. Fast forward three years, I have grown my business and acquired wonderful clients.
