Why the logical next step feels like a trap

​You've done everything you were supposed to do. You took the next role, pursued the promotion, followed the advice. And somehow you're still here, miserable and unsure why.

​The problem might not be the decisions you've been making. It might be the framework you've been using to make them

​Roberta Dombrowski and Nyam Adodoadji explore what happens when the career playbook you've been using stops working and what it looks like to make moves that are actually yours.

​What we’ll cover:

• ​Why the logical next step often keeps you stuck

• ​How to tell the difference between a real signal and fear

• ​What it looks like to make a career decision based on what you actually want, not what looks good on paper
