Are you wondering whether you’re in the right place? When things aren’t working out, it isn't a failure— it's usually symptomatic of a misalignment. Through Enneagram insights, we can explore why the match perhaps wasn't right and use that intelligence to determine where you can truly thrive. This distinguishes the Catalyst Effect from traditional outplacement, as we do a root cause analysis based upon your needs and motivators to understand the past and better plan for the future. This approach uses:

  • Positive Strategy - Transforming your departure into an opportunity for growth

  • Extended Timeline - Collaboratively planning with your employer for optimal transition timing

  • Network Leverage - Accessing the firm’s connections for potential new opportunities, when appropriate

  • Skills Translation - Articulating your transferable value to new markets

  • Reputation Protection - Maintaining professional standing throughout process

  • Transition Strategy Workbook - Combined tool including: career motivation map, relationship ecosystem map, stakeholder communication matrix, and decision criteria checklist
