Should You Stay Another Year

or Finally Make a Move?

20 minutes to know if you should stay or go in your current role.

You've been "thinking about" leaving for a year. Maybe three. Every quarter you tell yourself it's not so bad. Then Sunday hits.

This guide gives you the math, the framework, and the honest read on whether the role you've outgrown is still worth what it's costing you.

20 minutes. Honest answers. A real decision when you finish

WHAT'S INSIDE

The Stay vs Go Decision Matrix. A 10-minute process I use with clients to evaluate whether to stay and optimize the role, or move on and rebuild it elsewhere. With the inputs that actually matter, not just salary.

My ‘Beyond the Numbers’ Assessment. A 10-minute process to read whether your fulfillment needs are being met, whether your organization actually aligns with (and respects) your values, and whether the version of your life you want is reachable from where you are now.

Define Your Next Step. Identify what's holding you back from your next move, and clarify the shape of a role that would have the income, well-being, and direction to make you excited about Mondays.
