Episode notes

Episode 93 of Executive Careers explores the career S-curve framework, a strategic tool senior leaders use to anticipate plateau points and time their next move for maximum impact. Lucas and Luna discuss how to identify the three phases of the S-curve, why top performers often stay too long in the mastery stage, and the specific data points - like declining learning velocity and shrinking scope - that signal a shift is due. They walk through a real example from a former Fortune 500 executive who pivoted from COO to startup CEO precisely at the curve's inflection point, and share actionable questions listeners can ask themselves to map their own career trajectory. Whether you're a VP weighing a C-suite leap or a director eyeing a lateral move, this episode gives you a repeatable framework to make timing a deliberate choice, not a reaction. #CareerSCurve #ExecutiveCareers #CareerStrategy #Leadership #CareerTiming #VPStrategy #CSuite #CareerPivot #LearningVelocity #Fortune500 #COOtoCEO #InflectionPoint #ExecutiveCoaching #CareerPlanning #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #SeniorLeadership Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
