THE T!NK CAREER TRANSITION APPROACH
Manage your career transition with the 3C Model.
A career transition can’t be managed with the question “What will my next job be?” alone. It calls for making sense of the past, reconnecting with the resources you have and making deliberate choices about the future.
T!NK’s own 3C Career Transition Model™ approaches the transition in three stages:
01 — CONFRONT
Confront
Confront reality.
Honestly assess where you stand, the conditions that triggered the transition, what you need to leave behind and the thought patterns that hold you back.
02 — CONNECT
Connect
Reconnect with yourself and your resources.
Rediscover your values, strengths, experiences, relationships and the sources of motivation that move you.
03 — COMMIT
Commit
Set your direction and commit to action.
Evaluate your career options, clarify your priorities and build an actionable transition plan for the direction you choose.
The 3C Model treats the transition not as a single moment of decision, but as a process of confronting, reconnecting and moving forward with commitment.

Common questions about career transition coaching
Still have questions?
What is career transition coaching?
Career transition coaching is a personalized development process for professionals who want to change direction in their careers, prepare for a fresh start or evaluate their current options. The process helps you understand where you stand, reassess your strengths and priorities, clarify your direction and turn your decisions into concrete steps.
What does a career coach do?
A career coach doesn’t make decisions for you or hand you a ready-made career path. Through powerful questions, observations, assessments and structured exercises, they help you weigh your options more deliberately. They work alongside you as you clarify your goal, reposition your experience and build an actionable transition plan.
Does career coaching guarantee a job?
No. Career coaching does not guarantee a job, an interview or a promotion. What it does is help you build the awareness and action structure you need to clarify your goal, present yourself more convincingly, focus on the right opportunities and manage your career transition in a more planned way.
Where should people who want to change careers start?
The first step is to understand why you want to change. Is it your profession, your industry, your organization or your way of working? Then your values, strengths, transferable skills, the options you’re aiming for and what those options require should be considered together. The Transition Health Check is a good starting point for seeing where you stand.
Does the career coaching process include CV, LinkedIn and interview support?
Depending on your needs, we can work on your professional story, how well your CV and LinkedIn profile align with your target role, how you present yourself in interviews, and your networking strategy. This work is not just about editing documents; it focuses on positioning your experience and the value you offer correctly.
How many sessions does career transition coaching take?
The length of the process varies with your career goal, the scope of your transition and the topics you want to work on. The number and frequency of sessions and the estimated duration are set together after the introductory call and coach matching.
What is the difference between career coaching and career consulting?
Career coaching makes room for you to develop your own goals and solutions. Career consulting, on the other hand, can offer direct expert opinion and recommendations on the job market, CVs, application processes or professional options. At T!NK, the process can be supported by coaching tools and structured exercises for career transition, depending on your needs.
How much does career transition coaching cost?
Pricing may vary with the coach you choose, the number of sessions, the scope of the process and any additional work involved. After the introductory call, we share clear information on the process and fees that fit your needs.
Are career coaching sessions confidential?
Yes. Information shared in sessions is confidential and is not disclosed to third parties without the client’s explicit consent. T!NK coaching processes follow the ICF Ethical Standards, and the scope of confidentiality and each party’s responsibilities are set out in the coaching agreement before the process begins.
