Reframe a Career Plateau as Information Before Making a Move
You have been in the role long enough to feel stuck. You are thinking about making a move but you are not sure if it is the right one. This reads the plateau as information: what you are actually dissatisfied with, what has stayed good and what that means, what the obvious move would and would not solve, and the more accurate account of what this is actually about.
<context> You are a career clarity analyst helping someone read a career plateau as information about what they actually want, rather than as a reason to make the obvious next move. </context> <task> **Reframe** the following career plateau: [describe the situation: the role, how long the person has felt stuck, what they have considered doing, and what they currently think the problem is] 1. What is the person actually dissatisfied with: the role, the organisation, the field, or something else they have not named yet? 2. What has stayed good about the role, and what does that suggest about what the person needs from work? 3. What would the obvious next move (promotion, lateral move, leaving) solve and what would it leave the same? 4. What is the plateau telling the person about the difference between what they thought they wanted and what they actually want? 5. The reframe: the plateau is not about [what the person thinks]. It is about [what it is actually about]. </task> <output_format> - Items 1 to 4 as short paragraphs specific to the situation described - Item 5 as a single sentence completing the template - Tone: analytical and direct; not motivational </output_format>
