Psychological Contract
Unwritten expectations between executive and organisation.
Liminality

From Deconstruction to the “New New”
A vertical step diagram pattern using the .step-connector utility. Ideal for frameworks and processes.
Foundational Self-Authorship
Deconstruct the prior identity and author a new narrative grounded in transferable strengths, values, and interests.
Prototyping Possible Selves
Create tangible artefacts (e.g., executive CV, capability statement) for each path to enable comparison and critique.
Strategic Market Dialogue
Move prototypes into controlled conversations to evidence-test fit and refine preferences.
Reincorporation — The “New New”
Commitment and re-entry into a chosen role or venture; the identity work is now embodied in action.
Propositions for Discussion
Reusable proposition pattern via .proposition-card.
1. Success is Identity Reconstruction.
The primary metric is a coherent, authentic professional identity — not just speed to re-employment.
2. Peer-as-Mentor is Non‑Negotiable.
Relational parity and psychological safety enable strategic conversations from day one.
3. Ambiguity is Design Space.
Multiple “possible selves” are an asset during early exploration, not indecision.
4. Govern AI as Human Impact.
Augmentation must remain accountable to the human practitioner and the individual client.
