📋 Score Yourself: How Ready Are You for the Future of Change?

You’ve done the work. You’ve earned your stripes.

But here’s a confronting truth: what got you here may not keep you relevant.

If you’re leading change, guiding transformation, or simply holding the line in a fast-evolving environment, you can’t afford to assume your relevance. Not anymore.

It’s not about your experience. It’s about your positioning, your edge, and your ability to lead into the future.

And that’s why I built this powerful reflection tool for change leaders who want to stay relevant, sharp, and future-fit.

🔍This isn't about a title. It's about traction.

Your career progression and growth depend on more than just effort.

They hinge on how you lead, how you’re seen, and how you’re growing.

The insight you’ll get in this short reflection exercise isn’t fluff. It’s straight-up clarity on where you’re thriving and where your blind spots may be holding you back.

You’ll walk away with a personalized report that gives you real insight into how your career, impact, and leadership stack up today and how to level up.

⚙️The 5 Pillars of Relevance

Here’s what you’ll reflect on each pillar gives you a deeper look into the drivers of sustainable influence and growth:

1. Career Progression

Are you gaining traction or staying visible but static?

This looks at your upward momentum, internal brand, and career clarity.

2. Practice (Skills & Techniques)

Are your methods still cutting edge?

This measures how your skills align with the changing expectations of the transformation landscape.

3. Influence & Presence

Are you shaping the narrative or just showing up?

This explores how you’re perceived, how you influence decisions, and where your voice lands.

4. Leading Change

Are you the architect of change or constantly reacting to it?

This digs into your strategic presence, leadership of complex initiatives, and ability to orchestrate meaningful transformation.

5. Growth Factor

Are you stretching toward the future or stuck in the past?

This reflects on your capacity for continuous learning, self-renewal, and evolution.

🚨Why This Matters Now

The biggest risk? Waiting until someone else tells you you’re no longer relevant.

Most change leaders don’t lose their roles because they’re not capable.

They lose them because they didn’t stop to check where they truly stood.

You don’t need to guess.

You don’t need to coast.

You just need clarity and now’s the time to get it.
