A structured reflection for senior leaders navigating significant transitions. Your responses will generate a personal clarity document to guide your next steps.
Getting Started
About You
A few basics to personalize your clarity document.
Section 1 of 5
Where You Are Now
Before you can determine the right next step, you need clarity about your current situation. Answer honestly. No one else is scoring this.
These questions are about what is true right now, not what you think should be true. The more honest you are here, the more useful the document you generate will be.
What is the core decision or tension you are navigating?
1 = Not fulfilled at all | 7 = Deeply fulfilled
Not fulfilledDeeply fulfilled

What Matters Most
Decisions made without clarity about values rarely hold. This section identifies what is non-negotiable for you going forward.
Choose the ones that feel most non-negotiable, not the ones that sound most impressive.
Please select no more than 5 values.
Describe a specific season, role, or experience. What made it different?
Not the specifics yet. What do you want it to feel like? What do you want it to stand for?

The Real Landscape
Good decisions require clear thinking about both options and constraints. This section brings both into focus.
List the actual options you are weighing, even if they are not fully formed yet.
Financial obligations, family commitments, geography, health, timing. Be honest about what is actually fixed versus assumed to be fixed.
Most leaders in transition are operating on at least one assumption that, if examined, might open up new possibilities.
1 = Far from ready | 7 = Ready to move
Far from readyReady to move
Be specific. Fear of the wrong choice? Missing information? Pressure from others? Conflicting priorities?
Section 4 of 5
Your Decision Criteria
You will evaluate any path against criteria, consciously or not. This section makes those criteria explicit so they can actually guide you.
Drag to reorder. Put the most important at the top.
1Alignment with my values☰
2Financial outcome☰
3Quality of life and energy☰
4Scope of impact and influence☰
5Growth and learning potential☰
6Relationships and team quality☰
Not the outcome, but the decision itself. What would make it feel right?

From Clarity to Action
Reflection without action has limited value. This final section moves your thinking toward a committed next step.
You do not need to have the answer. You need one clear next step that moves you forward. That is what this section is about.
This does not have to be a final answer. It is your best current read.
Make it specific and actionable. Conversations to have, decisions to make, information to gather, experiments to run.
