You know what you built. The market doesn't, yet.

A senior career that ends abruptly rarely comes back on the strength of the CV alone. It comes back because someone can say, precisely, what they were responsible for, what they're worth, and where they're going next, and say it in a way the market actually reads correctly.

Your Next Move

The complete framework for positioning, search, and landing at Director, VP, or MD level. From knowing what you built to landing well, on your terms.

Price CHF 595

Most people move too fast. They update the CV before they know what they're positioning for. They go to market before the narrative is clear. They consider two options when there are seven.

Your Next Move addresses this before any of it becomes a problem.

LISA MAYER

The person who designed the process you are navigating.

I have sat inside calibration rooms where decisions were made before anyone called them final. I have run retention conversations for people who had already decided to leave. I designed the redundancy processes, wrote the communication templates, and structured the settlement terms that senior professionals are now on the receiving end of.

I left UBS on my own terms, eighteen months after the merger. Not during the chaos. After it, when the situation was clear and the timing was right. That experience, combined with everything I saw from the inside, is what this programme is built from.

Background

Head of Technology Reward, UBS

Head of Technology HR, Credit Suisse through time of CS/UBS merger

Ran executive calibration and compensation committees

Designed redundancy programmes and retention strategy at scale

WHO THIS IS FOR

This is built for Directors, VPs, and MDs who are through their exit and rebuilding, or who are still employed and quietly working out what's next.

Carrying real experience and no clear language for it costs you just as much as a badly handled exit does, a CV that undersells your scope, a narrative that doesn't land, an offer accepted because the search dragged on too long. This is the read from someone who has sat on the other side of the table on exactly these decisions, not generic career advice.

"I am through the exit and working out what comes next."

You leave with a clear read on your value and your real options.

"I know what I'm going for. Now I need to be positioned properly." You leave with a clear narrative, a rebuilt CV, LinkedIn that reads at your level, and a clear view of where you sit on comp.

"I am ready to move and want to land correctly." You leave with a real search strategy, sharper interviews, a negotiated offer, and a strong first ninety days.

THE PROGRAMME
WHAT THIS ADDRESSES

The mistakes that cost the most at this level.

Mistake 01: Applying before you are ready

The people who take two to three weeks to get clear before going to market consistently outperform those who start in week one. Volume is not strategy.

Mistake 02: Confusing productive with visible

Most of what feels productive in the first 30 days is visible activity, not useful activity. References, runway, and narrative come first.

Mistake 03: Considering only two options

Corporate re-entry or independent practice. Fear and urgency narrow the field before the assessment begins. There are seven realistic paths at this level.

Mistake 04: Taking the wrong next role under pressure

The pressure a redundancy creates pushes people toward the first available option rather than the right one. Evaluating an offer under these conditions requires stricter criteria, not looser ones.

Mistake 05: Getting the narrative wrong

How you talk about what happened shapes every conversation that follows. Getting it wrong in the first month is hard to undo.

Mistake 06: Navigating it alone

At this level the isolation is significant. The people around you do not understand the specific stakes. A room of equals changes that

WHAT THIS IS NOT
Not outplacement. Not coaching.

Advisory. From someone who designed the process you just went through. Every piece of content in these sessions comes from inside the machine, not from observing it.

Not this: Generic networking tips. Every piece of strategy in these sessions is sequenced for your level, your situation, and this market.
Not this: Motivational content. No one will tell you this is an opportunity. You will get an honest read on what is actually in front of you.
Not this: Role play exercises. Real situations, worked through together. You leave with the actual words and the actual approach, not a rehearsed script.
QUESTIONS

Is this confidential? Yes. Anything you share through the Companion or in a Decision Call is treated as confidential and not shared with your employer or anyone else.
How is this different from outplacement? Outplacement is typically CV workshops, interview coaching, and job board access. This covers the strategic layer outplacement misses: what's actually happening, what your real options are, and how to navigate the first 60 days without making the mistakes that are hardest to undo.
My situation is moving quickly. Is this the right product? If a decision is imminent, a Decision Call is the faster entry point, 60 minutes on one defined issue, written observations within 24 hours.
Is this relevant outside Switzerland and the UK? Yes. The strategic framework applies wherever large organisations manage senior transitions and hiring. The negotiation principles and process dynamics are consistent across jurisdictions. The programme notes where local legal advice is relevant..

Monthly Advisory

When you need ongoing accountability and support to get you through your exit, position you for the next role, lock-in your job search strategy or negotiate your offer.

Choose between one 45-minute call a month with async support (up to 3 check-ins), or two calls a month with unlimited async support. Both with 24-hour response. 3 months minimum then cancel anytime.

Want support all the way through from your exit through to getting your next role?
