The Mid-Career Checkpoint
Most professionals in their 40s are stuck because they have entered maintenance mode.
Performing well but no longer progressing.
The role is stable.
The pay is steady.
But the spark is gone.
Here’s a quick way to find out where you stand.
The Mid-Career Checkpoint: Rate Yourself (1–5 Scale)
(1 = Never true, 5 = Always true)
1️⃣ I start my week feeling energized and clear about what I am building.
2️⃣ My current role pushes me to learn, not just perform.
3️⃣ I use my strongest skills at least 80 % of the time.
4️⃣ I end most weeks with a sense of progress, not just completion.
5️⃣ I can see how my work today connects to who I want to become.
Your Score
- 20–25: You are aligned and evolving.
- 15–19: You are steady but stagnating.
- Below 15: You are in maintenance mode. Capable but coasting.
You can’t fix this with a promotion or perk.
You fix it with realignment between your strengths, values, and direction.
That’s what we focus on at IntuiWell’s Personal Growth Program helping mid-career professionals move from maintenance to momentum with a structured recalibration of clarity, purpose, and energy.
At this stage, growth is no longer optional. It’s overdue.
Question for you:
What’s your total score, and what does it tell you about where you are right now?
