Welcome! I write for talented professionals in their 40s and 50s who feel like a round peg in a square hole and are looking for a career makeover.

In 2022 I relaunched my career as an executive coach.

It took a year of soul-searching to find the big idea for my pivot.

Now, I devised a hack to cut it down to 20 minutes.

I used ChatGPT as my ideation partner. Here's how:

1️⃣ Upload your resume. Ask the bot to give you 10 ideas for roles you'd be suitable for.

2️⃣ List your superpowers (special talents) and ask the bot to recreate the list considering this information.

3️⃣ List criteria that bring out your zone of genius at work (i.e. types of projects, people, situations, etc). Then ask ChatGPT to refine the list considering this information.

4️⃣ Choose the two ideas that excite you the most. Ask the bot to give you 10 ideas to position yourself at the intersection.

5️⃣ At this point, you'll likely spot a great idea.

If you want to see my ideation session with the bot, I wrote an article about it last week.
