Guide them by first exploring the reasons behind their decision to gain clarity on their values and goals. Help them identify what they truly want in their career and where their passions lie. Together, create a personalized career strategy that aligns with their strengths, interests, and long-term objectives. Encourage them to communicate openly with their employer to find a middle ground or negotiate a more fitting role. Additionally, assist in identifying new opportunities, whether within the current organization or elsewhere, that better match their aspirations. Provide support and resources to help them navigate this transition confidently.

- Listen to Their Concerns: Start by understanding why they’re rejecting the plan. Ask questions to clarify their goals, values, and what they feel is missing. This will help you tailor your guidance to their specific needs. - Encourage Self-Reflection: Help the client identify their strengths, passions, and long-term career aspirations. This can provide clarity on what they truly want and how they can align their personal goals with potential opportunities. - Explore Alternative Pathways: Present options outside the employer’s plan. This could include lateral moves, upskilling, or even exploring new roles within the organization. If necessary, help them explore opportunities outside the company that better fit their vision.

If a client rejects their employer's career plan, guide them by first understanding their reasons and career aspirations. Encourage them to define their own career goals and identify what aligns with their values and interests. Help them create a personalized career plan that considers alternative paths and opportunities for growth within or outside their current organization. Advise them on building skills, networking strategically, and seeking mentorship to support their goals. Offer to assist in creating a step-by-step action plan to achieve their vision while remaining adaptable to changes and new opportunities. Ensure they stay focused on their long-term objectives and maintain a proactive approach to career development.

When a client rejects their employer's career plan, I would guide them toward defining their own path to success by first helping them clarify their personal goals, values, and passions. We would explore alternative career trajectories that align better with their aspirations. I would encourage them to develop transferable skills and leverage their current position to gain experience, while also considering further education or networking opportunities. Creating a personalized career roadmap with short- and long-term goals would provide direction, and I’d support them in balancing their immediate needs with their broader vision for success, ensuring they stay motivated and proactive.

When clients reject their employer's career trajectory, it’s crucial to help them identify the disconnect that's showing up in terms of values and hopes. And how to step into having hard conversations with leadership. This process of purposeful career redesign not only empowers individuals to take ownership of their professional journey but also fosters a sense of agency that can lead to transformative growth. Of course it is also an uncertain landscape and thinking ahead on parallel tracks of staying vs leaving is smart. By leveraging narrative therapy techniques, we can guide clients to articulate their unique career stories and redesign their next chapter, wherever that may be.
