Chuck Frey on ABZ planning: “What’s your certain, reliable, stable plan if all your career plans go to hell or you want to do a major life change? That’s plan Z. The certainty of plan Z is what allows you to take on uncertainty and risk in your Plans A (current position) and B (career pivot from A),” Hoffman explains. “With a Plan Z, you’ll at least know you can tolerate failure. Without it, you could be frozen in fear contemplating the worst-case scenarios... Plan Z should allow you to retreat, regroup and develop an entirely new plan A. It’s not an end point – it’s what will keep you afloat while you reload and then relaunch yourself on a brand-new voyage, a brand-new Plan A."

• “Why not make this a personal career policy? Set aside one day a week or month or even every few months to work on something that could become part of your plan B,” Hoffman suggests. “Start on it as a side project and see where it goes. Take a day and arrange five coffee meetings with people who work in adjacent industry.”
