E7: The 7 Levels to a Strategic Exit — Mastering Your Career Transition

Your job exit strategy says more about your future than your résumé ever will.

Most people think quitting is the hard part. It’s not.
How you leave is what determines whether you walk away with leverage — or regrets.

In this episode of Corporate to Calling™, I walk you through the full spectrum of career exits — from the most reactive moves to the most powerful and profitable ones. By the end of this conversation, you’ll know exactly where you are, which level you’re operating at, and what it takes to move up without burning bridges or blowing up what you’ve built.

This isn’t about motivation. It’s about strategy, reputation, and converting corporate experience into authority.

If you know you’re meant to do more — but you refuse to start over or self-sabotage your success — this episode will permanently change how you think about leaving.
