You've started applying. You have not decided what you're applying for.

Applying internally because it feels safer. Applying externally without a defined target. Knowing that rushing will produce the wrong outcome but not knowing what the right one looks like.

The problem is not effort. It is that the activity has started before the decision has been made.

What's at stake?

Without a clear target, the default is to update the CV, contact recruiters, and apply to roles that look approximately right. That generates activity. It does not generate clarity. Six months in, the pipeline has produced conversations but no offer, or an offer for the wrong role, and the window that existed immediately after the exit has closed.

At senior level, entering the market without a defined position is not neutral. It shapes how recruiters categorise you and how hiring decisions read your application. Getting that wrong early is expensive to reverse.

How we work through this

You complete a structured intake form before the session. I review it beforehand so we are not spending the first twenty minutes on background.

In the session we work through what level you can credibly target based on actual scope and authority, which two role archetypes are genuinely realistic given your background, and whether internal or external is the right sequencing decision right now.

Within 48 hours you receive a one-page written brief: your calibrated level, two target role types, a clear sequencing recommendation, and any positioning gaps that need addressing before you go further into the market.

You leave knowing what you are targeting and why, before the recruiters get involved.
