JEAN: REBOOTING CHALLENGES

The wall: Jean is 24 years old, works for a large insurance company and worries he is stagnating. He likes the company he works for but lacks challenges. Furthermore, uneven management manoeuvres and political games coming from his immediate superior are sapping his motivation. He feels stuck.

The opening: A few meetings in career coaching teach Jean how to take a more global view of his situation and not to focus solely on quitting his employer. He identifies opportunities elsewhere in the company and elaborates strategies to approach his boss with the intention of building a transition plan.

Instead of jumping ship, Jean is now engaged in acquiring the new skills he will require when time comes to apply for the desired job posting that is more in line with his career ambitions.
