Leadership

Ask a mentor: “What’s one thing I could do this week to show stronger leadership in my transition?”

Write a one-sentence leadership mantra for how you want to show up in your new role—repeat it daily.

Thank someone publicly for their encouragement—recognition strengthens your support system.

Schedule 15 minutes today to check in with someone informally about your transition journey.

Share a personal story about your transition with someone—model openness and build trust.

Observe one group setting quietly—notice dynamics without intervening—practice presence and awareness.

Collaboration

Start your next networking call by inviting the other person to set the agenda—practice shared ownership.

Send a thank-you note to someone who supported your transition this week—build appreciation openly.

Ask a peer: “Is there anything I can take off your plate today?”—practice shared responsibility.

Offer to co-create a plan with a peer instead of finalizing it alone—practice collaboration early.

Suggest a live brainstorming session instead of emails—use time together to create, not just coordinate.

Add a “Collaboration Wins” note to your transition tracker—highlight one task made easier with others.

Communication

Before an interview or meeting, write down your core message in one sentence—practice saying it clearly.

Ask a peer if your resume or message is clear—revise based on their feedback before sending again.

Use a pause after making a point in conversation—let others respond instead of rushing to fill silence.

In your next message, use bullet points instead of long text—make your intent easy to scan and act on.

Record yourself explaining your transferable skills—replay and refine until it’s clear and confident.

Replace filler words in your intro pitch with one strong phrase—make it sharper and more direct.
