The Chasm

You know exactly where you want to go, but you're not sure how to get there. You have clarity in your destination, but you might feel overwhelmed by all the steps involved or unsure of the exact strategy to take.

This might occur when you know what role you want, you want to get promoted, or you want to switch industries.

Right now, your work is to focus on the how—research, planning, and taking calculated steps toward your goal.

Your Task: Build a Bridge

  • Reach out to people who have been on a similar journey and gather insights from them

  • Identify what skills, knowledge, or experience you need to acquire

  • Start building a 6-month plan with actionable steps toward your goal

You want to seek out key mentors. But regardless of how you go about it, your task is to formulate the shape of the bridge and start stepping across it.
