The Consulting

Taking the next step professionally can be driven by any number of reasons: You are seeking a larger degree of responsibility that your company cannot offer you; due to a streamlining of the management structure your position is no longer available to you; the company culture of your present employer does not match your personal values and understanding of corporate life; new shareholders/owners choose to install their own management team; you are interested in changing the overall direction of your career or simply in focussing on tasks that are less stressful.

A sound analysis of your current professional and personal situation

Irrespective of the reason(s) motivating your professional change process, the basis is always a fact-driven analysis of your current situation. A wide variety of different questions are dealt with dependent upon your individual situation:

• Which position of responsibility is the next logical career step for me?
• How successful am I in asserting myself in my top position – even in times of change?
• How do I position myself as a promising candidate for the succession planning of the executive board?
• How can my career movement benefit more from my personal network?
• What are the main points of personal development I wish to focus on?
• How can I better align my skills with my tasks?
• What does my long-term career plan look like?
• Where, how long and up to which level do I want to work?
• To what extent does my professional life fit with my personal values?
• How can I create the optimal balance between job, person and family? How can I take better care of
• myself and my health?
• Which meaningful activities can I pursue at the end of my actual career? How can I make a valuable
• contribution to society?
• How can I ensure a strong professional legacy? Where can I function as a mentor?
