To support an executive facing uncertainty in a career transition, emphasize their strengths and past achievements to reinforce self-confidence. Encourage them to view the transition as an opportunity for growth and reinvention, rather than a setback. Help them set clear, achievable goals and develop a strategic plan for their next steps. Provide resources, such as coaching or networking opportunities, to expand their options and build momentum. Remind them of their adaptability and resilience, focusing on how they’ve successfully navigated challenges before. Foster a positive mindset by encouraging gratitude and patience during this transformative phase, ensuring they feel supported and empowered.

In every career transition there’s uncertainty but also some level of control. When working with my clients I support them in the process of accepting what is beyond their control and focus on what they can control. This gives confidence and reduces the doubts. Priorities and decision making framework are key to control possible outcomes and navigate different scenarios at ease with a plan. It’s important to know what are the preferences and non-negociables to ensure no decision is made with regrets.
