You Explore One.<\/h1>\n\n  <p class=\"sc-deck\">How the Pioneer Map and The Expedition help senior leaders navigate a deliberate career change, and the theory beneath the method.<\/p>\n\n  <hr class=\"sc-rule\">\n\n  <p class=\"sc-lead\">Senior leaders are trained to remove uncertainty. Forecast it, model it, de-risk it, close it down. That discipline is exactly what made them senior.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Then comes the career switch, and every instinct they trust turns against them.<\/p>\n\n  <p>They build the business case. They benchmark the market. They wait for the data to confirm the move. And the move never comes, because the data they are waiting for can only be produced by making the move. The leader who can restructure a division freezes in front of their own next chapter.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"sc-pull\">You cannot analyse your way into a new identity. You have to explore your way into it.<\/div>\n\n  <p>I coach executives and executive teams, and increasingly, I coach the career switch itself: the move into a new sector, a founder role, a portfolio of board seats, a reinvention that the org chart never accounted for. This work sits in the <strong>Re-Align&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;Rise<\/strong> phase of my 4R Model (Reflect&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp;Reset&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp;Re-Align&nbsp;&middot;&nbsp;Rise&trade;), and I run it through two connected exercises delivered on <strong>Salomons.Coach.App<\/strong>: the <strong>Pioneer Map<\/strong> and <strong>The Expedition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n  <p>One is orientation. The other is movement. A map without an expedition is a fantasy. An expedition without a map is a wander. Senior careers are pivoted by holding both.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>The Pioneer Map: cartography of the self, before the market<\/h2>\n\n  <p>Most transition advice starts with the market, vacancies, sectors, headhunters. The Pioneer Map starts one step earlier, with the only fixed point a leader actually owns: themselves.<\/p>\n\n  <p>The exercise asks the executive to chart four things. Their <strong>magnetic north<\/strong>, the values that don&rsquo;t bend. Their <strong>proven terrain<\/strong>, the capabilities already earned and transferable. Their <strong>no-go zones<\/strong>, the environments and trade-offs they will not re-enter, often the most clarifying part. And the <strong>white space<\/strong>, the unexplored ground that pulls at them but can&rsquo;t yet be named.<\/p>\n\n  <p>A pioneer does not map territory they have already crossed. They mark what they know, fix their bearings, and draw a hypothesis about what lies beyond the edge. That is the posture the exercise builds.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"sc-theory\">\n    <h3>The theory beneath the map<\/h3>\n    <p>The Pioneer Map draws on four bodies of work. <strong>Edgar Schein&rsquo;s career anchors<\/strong>, the self-concept of talents, motives and values a person will not give up, supply the magnetic north. <strong>Markus &amp; Nurius&rsquo; possible selves<\/strong> frame the white space as a set of futures one could become, not a single destination to be found. <strong>Herminia Ibarra&rsquo;s working identity<\/strong> reframes identity as plural and discovered in motion rather than excavated by introspection. And <strong>Mark Savickas&rsquo; career construction \/ life design<\/strong> treats a career as a narrative the leader authors, not a ladder they climb. The map is where that narrative gets its coordinates.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <h2>The Expedition: a map is not a journey<\/h2>\n\n  <p>Clarity is seductive. Many leaders mistake a good map for progress and stall there, endlessly refining the plan, never leaving base camp. The Expedition exists to break that spell.<\/p>\n\n  <p>It converts the map&rsquo;s white space into a sequence of small, deliberate experiments: a conversation, a pilot project, a fractional engagement, a public point of view, a week shadowing a different world. Each is designed to be survivable if it fails and informative either way. The leader stops asking &ldquo;Is this the right path?&rdquo; and starts asking &ldquo;What does this next step teach me?&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"sc-cards\">\n    <div class=\"sc-card\">\n      <h4>The Map<\/h4>\n      <p>Orientation. Where you stand, what you carry, where you will not go, and which direction pulls. Reflection that produces bearings.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"sc-card\">\n      <h4>The Expedition<\/h4>\n      <p>Movement. Small, affordable experiments that turn the unknown into evidence. Action that produces a new identity.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"sc-theory\">\n    <h3>The theory beneath the expedition<\/h3>\n    <p>The Expedition lives in what <strong>William Bridges<\/strong> called the neutral zone, the disorienting in-between where the old role has ended but the new one hasn&rsquo;t begun, where most transitions are won or abandoned. It runs on <strong>Ibarra&rsquo;s test-and-learn<\/strong> logic: act your way into a new way of thinking through provisional selves and small bets. <strong>John Krumboltz&rsquo;s planned happenstance<\/strong> turns curiosity, persistence, flexibility, optimism and calculated risk into a way of engineering luck rather than waiting for it. <strong>Saras Sarasvathy&rsquo;s effectuation<\/strong> tells the executive to start from their means and act within an affordable loss, the antidote to the all-or-nothing leap. And <strong>Nancy Schlossberg&rsquo;s 4 S&rsquo;s<\/strong>, Situation, Self, Support, Strategies, are the kit they pack before they walk.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <h2>Why Salomons.Coach.App<\/h2>\n\n  <p>A career switch is not decided in the coaching room. It is decided in the weeks between sessions, in the second thoughts, the quiet experiments, the conversation that went somewhere unexpected. <strong>Salomons.Coach.App<\/strong> lets me hold that space. The Pioneer Map and The Expedition arrive as structured, reflective work the leader completes in their own time, logs as they go, and brings back as evidence. It turns coaching from a fortnightly conversation into a continuous practice. Depth, not a one-off worksheet.<\/p>\n\n  <p>The app holds more than <strong>250 activities<\/strong>, exercises, surveys, 360 feedback, metaphors, assessments, worksheets, meditations, reflections and more. Single activities rarely move a leader on their own. So they are often bundled into a <strong>Pathway<\/strong>, a proven sequence designed to carry a coachee through a real transformation rather than a single insight. The Pioneer Map and The Expedition are two stages of exactly such a Pathway.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>What it has produced so far<\/h2>\n\n  <p>This is not theory in a drawer. To date I have guided <strong>twelve senior leaders through a deliberate career-switch decision. Ten made the move<\/strong>, into new sectors, founder ventures, portfolio and board careers. Two chose to stay, almost certainly for very good reasons.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"sc-stat\">\n    <span class=\"sc-num\">12<\/span>\n    <span class=\"sc-num-label\">senior leaders coached through a career-switch decision. Ten switched. Two stayed, on purpose, and that counts as a result too.<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>The pattern is consistent. None of them moved, or stayed, by planning harder. They mapped honestly, then ran experiments small enough to survive and sharp enough to teach. For ten, the experiments pointed outward. For two, they confirmed that the ground they already stood on was the right ground. A career switch you decide <em>not<\/em> to make, with clear eyes, isn&rsquo;t a failure of the method. It is the method working.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"sc-pull\">The leaders who get stuck are waiting for certainty. The ones who switch go and manufacture it.<\/div>\n\n  <p>If you are a senior leader sensing that your next chapter won&rsquo;t be a promotion of the last one, the work is the same as it ever was: stop trying to think your way out, and start exploring your way through. Draw the map. Then run the expedition.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"sc-cta\">\n    <p><strong>Considering a career switch at the top of your field?<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p>The Pioneer Map and The Expedition are part of how I coach senior transitions in the Re-Align&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;Rise phase of the 4R Model.

With more than 35 years of international leadership and management experience, Jan has held executive and managing director roles in complex, operationally intensive environments, including global logistics and high-tech manufacturing. He currently works at the intersection of leadership, transformation, and execution, combining strategic clarity with deep operational realism. Jan specializes in supporting leaders and leadership teams facing moments that matter: organizational change, increased pressure, loss of direction, declining trust, or career transitions such as redundancy. His work focuses on strengthening self-leadership, decision-making, accountability, and team effectiveness in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) contexts. Known for his calm presence and sharp questioning, Jan helps leaders move from reflection to action \u2014 without simplification or theatrics. His approach is grounded in evidence-based coaching, real-world experience, and a strong belief that sustainable performance starts with leaders who can lead themselves.

He regularly writes and speaks on leadership, resilience, and navigating work and careers in times of uncertainty.","jobTitle":"Career & Leadership Coach","alumniOf":[{"@type":"EducationalOrganization","name":"Warwick University - Business School - Executive MBA","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.wbs.ac.uk\/"},{"@type":"EducationalOrganization","name":"Coaching Training Institute (CTI)","sameAs":"https:\/\/coactive.com\/global\/"},{"@type":"EducationalOrganization","name":"HBR Advisory Council","sameAs":"https:\/\/hbr.org\/advisory-council"},{"@type":"EducationalOrganization","name":"Pedagogical Technical University (HBO)","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.fontys.nl\/Home.htm"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/salomons.coach\/en\/you-dont-plan-a-career-switch-you-explore-one\/#webpage","url":"https:\/\/salomons.coach\/en\/you-dont-plan-a-career-switch-you-explore-one\/","name":"You Don\u2019t Plan a Career Switch.
