January is a great time for change, but rather than resolutions – which usually add more to your plate, think about exit…stopping something, quitting something, making a major change instead.

Do you want to exit and change a situation?
Why do you want to exit and change?
What do you want to achieve?

Dedicate some time to thinking about what you want to change and why, to really understand what you need to do. Don’t try to squeeze it in or around other work or life tasks! Make some notes and get your thoughts out.

Work change – is it about your role, money, colleagues, company values, culture, ethos, working pattern? Do you want to work more, less, go self-employed, go employed again? 

Work exit – are you leaving because you don’t like the job or people, you want more free time to travel, care, have a family? Earn more, train, change your responsibility level?

Relationships change or exit – why do you want to make the change? What’s missing? What do you want more of, less of? Is it you or someone else who is the problem? 

Health – does it affect you at work and in your personal life? What is the main issue? What will be better after?
How will you feel when you’ve achieved it? 

Nowadays, there is an overlap between home and work, so change will affect all aspects. You can exit and change something without conflict or blame – but remember, you can only change yourself, not others. 

Business and personal coaching can help you to organise your thoughts, get through the fog and confusion, and create a clear plan of action.
