the next chapter playbook
who this service is for…
This service is designed for individuals who are navigating a significant shift in their career and want clarity about what comes next.
The Next Chapter Playbook can help if:
You are preparing to step away from a role, retire, sell your business, or move in a new direction.
You’ve been impacted by a change you didn’t plan for — a layoff, restructuring, or role elimination — and are trying to figure out what’s next.
You’ve started thinking about a career shift but feel stuck between what’s familiar and what could be.
You’ve focused on the practical next steps, but haven’t had space to think through the personal side of the transition.
Your work has been a central part of your identity, and a change in direction raises questions about purpose, direction, and what comes next.
You feel uncertain about what life or work will look like beyond your current role.
You want to move forward thoughtfully, without feeling rushed, lost, or disconnected from yourself in the process.
You’re looking for clarity on how to shape your next chapter in a way that feels meaningful and intentional.
Many people plan for the practical aspects of a career transition. Far fewer prepare for the identity shift that often comes with it.
This service is designed to help you navigate that transition with clarity and confidence — not just in what you do next, but in how you move forward.
our process
1. Understanding your transition
The process begins with a conversation with a Verdera coach to understand the transition you are approaching. During this session, your coach will ask thoughtful questions to explore the role your career has played in your identity, the circumstances surrounding the shift that’s occurring (exit, transition, retirement, etc.), and any uncertainty or hesitation you may be experiencing about what comes next. The goal of this conversation is to create a clear picture of both the practical and personal dimensions of the transition ahead.
2. Clarifying your next chapter
In the second session, your coach will help you reflect on what you want this next phase of life to look like. Together, you will explore the values, interests, and opportunities that may shape your next chapter, helping you move beyond the uncertainty that often accompanies stepping away from a long-held role. This conversation focuses on translating reflection into direction so the transition feels intentional rather than abrupt.
3. Your next chapter playbook
Following your coaching sessions, you will receive a personalized playbook designed specifically for your situation. This guide provides a structured framework for navigating the transition ahead, including reflection prompts, practical next steps, and guidance for exploring new roles, pursuits, or ways of contributing. The playbook is intended to provide clarity and momentum so that leaving one chapter of leadership becomes the beginning of a purposeful and fulfilling next stage of life.
