Career Growth Plan
Manage your career intentionally, increase your impact, and build your strategy for growth
Together we work through all four areas of the Framework. Each phase produces one deliverable you keep and how we get there depends on where you are. Some clients want the full sequence, in order, start to finish. Others arrive with something specific already in front of them, a promotion they're positioning for, a strained working relationship, a reorganization, a review that landed differently than they expected.
When that's the case we start where the pressure is and weight the sessions toward it. You cover all four areas either way, and you finish with the same four deliverables. We decide the shape in session one.
Phase 1: Position
Where am I now?
Together we'll:
Reflect on your career journey and accomplishments
Identify your strengths and differentiators
Examine how you're currently perceived
Assess your satisfaction and engagement
Identify sources of energy and friction
Evaluate your current visibility and influence
​Deliverable
Career Growth Profile, a written picture of how you're showing up, what sets you apart, and where you have room to strengthen your position.
Phase 2: Influence
How can I grow greater impact?
Together we'll:
Map your key stakeholders
Examine the dynamics you're operating in
Identify opportunities to increase visibility
Build a managing up strategy
Strengthen communication and influence
Prepare for important conversations
​Deliverable
Influence and Stakeholder Strategy, a map of the relationships that shape your career and a specific plan for each one that matters.
Phase 3: Growth
Where do I want to stretch?
Together we'll:
Define what growth means to you now
Identify your next level of development
Identify the skills and experiences to build
Find the high value opportunities available to you
Develop a promotion strategy where that applies
Sharpen how you describe your value
​Deliverable
Career Growth Strategy, your next level defined, the experiences that get you there, and a professional positioning statement you can use in reviews, conversations, and your internal profile.
Phase 4: Intention
How do I want to manage my career?
Together we'll:
-
Set your 90-day priorities
-
Define longer term goals
-
Decide where to invest your time and energy
-
Build your Meridian Criteria™ for evaluating what comes your way

Establish practices for managing your career on purpose
