Clarify your career path with our comprehensive self-reflection check-in. Achieve executive career growth. Great work. Great relationships.
Ready for Your Next Leadership Leap?
As a senior executive or high-performing leader, you’re constantly focused on the next quarter, the next big project, and the next strategic move for your company. But when was the last time you invested in a strategic career check-in?
The Executive Career Growth Check-in is a powerful self-reflection tool designed to help you pause, gain clarity on your vision, and intentionally shape your future. It’s a private, personal check-in—not a performance review—for your own development.
By answering these questions honestly and thoughtfully, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your current position, identify opportunities to strengthen your influence, and build a clear action plan for your next big move. We highly recommend you talk through the questions with Michael before completing the form to get the most out of the exercise.

Inside the Check-in: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s what you’ll explore in the complete self-reflection form.
1. Alignment
This section helps you get grounded. We’ll start by looking at your current role and the value you provide. You’ll reflect on where you see yourself in the next 3-5 years and identify the critical skills and experiences you need to succeed.
2. Stakeholder Relationships
Your career success is often tied to the strength of your relationships. This section is designed to help you analyse your key stakeholders, understand their priorities, and identify concrete actions you can take to build more trust and influence.
3. Growth & Strategy
To lead in a rapidly changing world, you must stay ahead of the curve. This part of the check-in encourages you to think strategically about how you stay on top of industry trends and ensure your plans are aligned with both immediate business needs and long-term aspirations.
4. Visibility
Your professional profile is your brand. Here, you’ll identify opportunities to expand your influence and raise your profile, both inside your organisation and beyond.
5. Networks & Opportunities
We’ll prompt you to consider your professional network and find hidden growth opportunities. This is where you’ll identify key relationships to strengthen and the people you could approach for mentorship or a fresh perspective.
6. C-Suite & High-Performer Focus (Voluntary)
This optional section is for those in senior leadership roles or on an executive track. It offers a deeper level of reflection on your strategic mindset, resilience, and personal leadership philosophy. We’ll touch on your approach to emotional intelligence, adaptability, and long-term vision.
7. Reflection & Action
The final section is the most important. You’ll synthesise all your insights to define your top 1-3 priorities for the short and long term. Finally, you’ll identify the key action or actions you will focus on to move forward, starting now.
