Are you ready to Make a Move?
Something about the role has changed.
Maybe you’re ready to leave.
Maybe the decision was made for you.
Maybe you’re still in the seat and know it’s time to think differently about what comes next.

4 minutes. Where do you stand in the market?
Experience doesn't automatically create clarity.
Experience doesn’t automatically create clarity.
You can know how to run a business, lead hundreds of people, and deliver results and still struggle to answer:
What do I actually want next?
That question gets harder when your identity, reputation, relationships, and income have been tied to the same company or kind of role for years.
And moving before you answer it usually creates more activity, not more progress.
I’m Ready to Make A Move but…
So you’re ready to make a move and need someone to talk to.
You can’t talk to your peers! Because they’re going through the same thing or they may not be able to keep your conversation private.
You can’t talk to your boss! Because let’s face it…your boss may be the reason you want to make a move.
Or just need a safe space to express the good, the bad, and the ugly about your current role and you need a solution.
You may be solving the wrong problem.
You may be solving the wrong problem.
A new resume won’t decide what you want.
More applications won’t make your story clearer.
Networking won’t help much if people don’t know what to introduce you for.
And interview practice won’t solve uncertainty you’re still carrying into the room.
Before the market can understand where you belong next, you have to understand it yourself.
The Work
Recognize. Reposition. Move.
- RECOGNIZE: Separate what you built from the company, title, and circumstances around it. Understand your leadership value clearly enough to own it.
- REPOSITION: Decide what you want next and build the story, language, profile, and strategy around that decision.
- MOVE: Work the space between deciding and landing. The conversations. The opportunities. The setbacks. The decisions about what deserves a yes and what doesn’t.
Eight sessions across 120 days. One-to-one with Steve Worthy.
How is the market reading you?
The Read looks at five things:
Decision. Story. Worth. Signal. Access.
It identifies the gap between the level you have operated at and what people can currently understand about you from the outside.
What This is Not
This is not job placement.
I don’t place people.
I don’t write resumes for you.
And I won’t promise a title, salary, or job by a certain date.
We work on the decisions, positioning, leadership story, and strategy that make the right move more likely.
What are leaders are saying about Make A Move...
We brought Steve in to discuss the 5 levels of leadership with my team. The team members I chose
to take this class were all junior or aspiring leaders. They all walked away feeling inspired and
understanding that becoming a great leader doesn’t happen overnight. I also learned a lot about
myself during this class. The topics we discussed forced me to self-reflect and realize the mistakes
that I’ve made along my journey and how to fix them in the future. Steve as an instructor was
extremely engaging and made everyone feel comfortable having uncomfortable conversations.
