Feeling stuck is a signal, not a sentence. The antidote is momentum—tiny, consistent movement in a direction that compounds. Start by shipping one visible improvement each week. Fix a nagging process, write a clear doc, or remove a friction that bugs everyone. Visibility earns trust; trust opens doors.
A practical way to approach it
Run a strengths spike for 30 days. Choose one capability to over‑serve—analysis quality, stakeholder facilitation, or quality of execution. Tell your team you’re focusing on it. Track outcomes so you can point to change, not effort.
Design experiments that create proof
Host a brown‑bag on your niche and invite two teams. Teaching reveals your value and attracts allies. Follow up with a short artifact: a checklist, a decision tree, or a comparison table people can use tomorrow.
Tell a sharper story
Contribute to a cross‑team project where your skill shines. Stuck often means your current scope is too narrow for your strengths. Cross‑team work exposes you to sponsors who can change your trajectory.
Make a decision with data
Refresh your internal profile and resume so people can see what you’re excellent at now, not last year. Then schedule two external discovery calls to compare markets. Optionality restores confidence.
Protect your energy and momentum
Momentum isn’t magic. It’s a rhythm: one improvement shipped, one conversation started, one story updated—every week for eight weeks. That rhythm re‑introduces you to yourself.
