Fit or Quit: Diagnose the real problem before you make a big career-reset move.

Listen: Think Fast, Talk Smart — “Fit or Quit: Find the Job That Is Right for You” (with Catherine Fisher) (Catalyze Your Career mini-series with LinkedIn)

If you’ve been thinking: “Something feels off. But is it my job, my manager, my motivation… or is it time for a real career reset?”

Why it’s worth your time (3):

• Spot the early signals (before you panic-apply or quit): motivation drops, curiosity fades, and little things start feeling huge.

• Use job descriptions as a roadmap: pick a role you want, identify the gaps, then build momentum with bite-sized learning—even 10 minutes a day as a minimum. Start with the baby step. Stack from there.

• Build your “future you” on purpose: tend your network like a garden, and decide how you want to be perceived—then prove it consistently.

Swan Chapter note: Keep your LinkedIn content portable—don’t anchor every post to your current employer. If you change jobs (or get let go), you can keep showing up without the awkward reset.

By the end: You’ll know whether you need a tweak, a pivot, or a full career reset—and exactly what your first small move is.

So you can: Take one concrete step this week: one 10-minute skill rep + one network touch + one clear ask (project, scope, or visibility). (Very “atomic habits,” in the best way.)
