Complete these three questions in the 48 hours before your session. Keep it short — five minutes. The point is to arrive with a clear head, not a polished presentation.
What has happened since we last spoke that's worth bringing to the session?
A decision made, something you tried, a conversation you had, something that shifted — or didn't.
What do you want to leave this session having worked out?
One specific thing. If you have three, pick the one that matters most right now.
What do you need from your mentor today?
A sounding board. A push. A different way of seeing it. Someone who has been there. An honest reaction. Something else.

Work through this when you're seriously considering a career change — a new industry, function, or a step sideways that isn't a promotion. It's designed to help you distinguish between a problem that needs solving in your current situation and a genuine case for moving on.
1. Are you moving away from something, or toward something?
2. What is the actual problem?
3. What have you already tried to change about your current situation?
4. What would need to be true for you to stay?
5. Who do you know who is doing what you want to do?
6. What's the minimum viable version of the new direction?
Before a full pivot, is there a smaller test — a side project, a secondment, a voluntary role, a course, a conversation — that lets you find out if you're right about wanting this?
7. What is your honest read of the situation right now?
