ABSTRACT

So they think it's all over (with apologies to Kenneth Wolstenholme). Your client has made it into their dream job, or at the very least into the next step in their career. Or some broader change has been completed around them (such as when a company reorganizes or one merges with another) and they find themselves in a new role. As we have discussed, this is just the start of another career transition, the transition into a new role or even a new life — it may seem the transition is complete but there is a whole new world to adapt to at this point with both physical and psychological implications. We have arrived at stages 3 and 4 of the career transition model in Figure 2.1:

Get new role/set up business: preparation for first 100 days — business and personal vision and objectives

First few months'transition: successes, challenges, new identity and style, crystallization of new approaches, capabilities and skills, adapt to a new reality.
