The positioning problem

By the time you reach interview, a view has usually already formed.

Employers arrive at a shortlist with a working read on your experience, your relevance and your potential. Most of that read is assembled from things you can influence - and most people never look at them deliberately.

Positioning is the work of making that read accurate. What you're known for, the evidence behind it, and how clearly it maps to the role you want next.

The Lab turns that work into practical tools: diagnostics that show where you currently stand, and playbooks that tell you what to change first.

Where to start

Three ways in - most people start with the tools.

Who this is for

Built for commercial leaders making a deliberate move.

You don't need more motivation. You need a clear read on how you're positioned and a method for changing it.
