A personal strategy provides a clear direction and purpose of your actions, especially at the stage of “what’s next?” of your professional journey,

Your personal strategy will let you elucidate first for yourself, and then for others. It outlines your professional identity at the new stage of professional life.

People who have completed one stage of their professional journey and are ready for the next one often ask “What’s next?” They feel uncertain about whether and how they can succeed in a new territory.

They don’t need fluff; they need a practical guide and a customized toolbox to move from the “past, completed” to the “desirable next” professional self. They need a strategy for navigating their move and establishing their position, similar to how businesses develop their market entry positioning strategies when they enter a new market.

Examples: (a) college graduates who need to formulate their self-identity as a professional; (b) educated migrants who have accumulated sizable human capital in one city/country but decide to move to a new market; (c) career changers.

There are several deliverables of this program. These are (a) awareness of the type of personal positioning that fits you best in the current stage of your professional life, (b) Personal Strategy plan — a sequence of actions that leads to solving your “what’s next?” challenge, and (c) the message to a potential employer or supporter.

People who invested in their journey toward professional freedom and happiness by taking the “Your Personal Strategy” course have described the outcome as:
