E is a high-achieving leader who had reached a ceiling in her current role at a global organisation. She was offered an internal promotion to lead operations in a new country, but the role didn’t align with her long-term career vision. At the same time, external opportunities were limited, and she felt restless to make the next move. E approached The Happy Mondays Co. to help her navigate this career crossroad and explore her options with clarity.
Clarifying Vision, Purpose, and Values
Through our signature Happy Mondays™ methodology, we guided E using the 5 core pillars to create her Happy Mondays. These pillars became the foundation of her decision-making process, helping her align her career path with her true vision and values. Together, we explored her long-term aspirations and uncovered what genuinely motivated her. E identified her core values—people-centred leadership, systemic problem-solving, and making a meaningful impact on others—which became the guiding compass for her career choices. By focusing on these elements, E gained clarity on what would bring her fulfilment, both immediately and in the broader scope of her career.
Exploring the Role’s Potential
Instead of viewing the internal promotion as a fixed, unappealing option, we encouraged E to assess her career opportunities and reimagine how the role could evolve. Through a process of reflection and strategic questioning, we explored how the role’s responsibilities could be adapted to align with her vision, turning it from a limiting option into an exciting opportunity for growth and leadership.
Strategic Communication
Armed with a clearer vision and a redefined understanding of the role’s potential, E approached her hiring manager. Rather than seeing her options as either staying or resigning, she proposed a new direction for the role. This proactive approach allowed her to co-create a role that matched her career ambitions and met the organisation’s needs, leading to a win-win outcome.
E’s story is a testament to the power of clarity and strategic communication in shaping one’s career. By leveraging the Happy Mondays™ signature methodology, she was able to turn what initially seemed like a limiting offer into a growth opportunity that aligned with her vision. This case illustrates that with the right approach, you don’t have to settle for a binary choice—you can create new paths that serve both your professional goals and personal fulfilment.
