Time for an Exit Plan?

Is It Time for an Exit Plan?
Have you ever had that gut feeling… that nudge that says, “Something’s shifting here”?
Maybe your company is going through a merger. Maybe leadership has changed. Or maybe the energy just feels… off. It’s easy to ignore those signals when you’re still employed, still receiving a paycheck, still “fine.” But here’s the truth:
When business changes — and it always does — roles change, too.
Restructuring doesn’t just impact the people who get laid off. It affects everyone who remains. Responsibilities shift. Power dynamics tilt. Priorities realign. And suddenly, the job you signed up for might not be the job you’re doing — or the one you want.
What’s the Strategy?
An Exit Plan.
Not a panic move. Not a last-minute scramble. A thoughtful, strategic, insurance policy for your career.
My clients don’t wait for the other shoe to drop. They use the leverage of their current employment to discreetly explore what’s next. They move quietly, purposefully — and when it’s time to go, they’re already ready.
If they leave, it’s not because they were asked to. It’s because they had a plan in place. Just like private equity firms map out their exit strategy before making an investment, professionals should treat their careers with the same level of foresight.
What If You’re Already Out?
Maybe you didn’t have an exit plan. Maybe the layoffs came fast. Or the merger blindsided you. Or the toxicity built up slowly until you finally had to walk away.
If that’s your situation, I want you to know: you’re not behind — but you do need to move quickly.
The market is tough right now. Candidates are applying in record numbers. Hiring processes are slow and broken. Employers are hesitant. It’s not just about sending out a resume — it’s about having a strategy that cuts through the noise.
That’s what I help my clients do. I help them regain momentum. I help them move fast — and smart. Because the longer you're out of the market, the harder it becomes to get back in.
Why Every Executive Needs an Exit Plan
Careers aren’t built on wishful thinking. They’re built on vision, preparation, and plans of action.
Whether you're loving your job today or questioning everything, your next step shouldn't be a mystery — it should be part of the plan.
So let’s make a plan. Together.
