Horizontal and Lateral Career Moves: A Strategic Guide Description

Not every career move needs to be a promotion. Some of the most transformative and rewarding career decisions come from stepping sideways instead of climbing upward.

This course is your comprehensive guide to horizontal and lateral career moves—strategic transitions that prioritize skill-building, personal growth, industry adaptability, and long-term fulfillment over traditional hierarchy. Whether you're escaping burnout, pivoting industries, or chasing your passion, this course shows you how to leverage lateral moves for career advancement and life satisfaction.

You’ll hear real-world examples (like Oprah Winfrey’s pivoting strategy), uncover personal motivations, and build the communication, networking, and mindset skills required to navigate transitions confidently. The course combines interactive AI coaching, community support, and live guidance to help you craft a smart, sustainable path forward.

What You’ll Learn:

  • When and why to consider a horizontal career move
  • How to align lateral transitions with your personal growth and passions
  • How to evaluate toxic environments and move toward healthier opportunities
  • Strategic use of mentorship, curiosity, and side ventures to drive career change
  • Skills and mindset shifts needed for long-term career mobility
  • Communicating your value during nontraditional career moves

Real-life examples of lateral career success from top leaders.

Q. Iโ€™m unable to make a payment. What to do now?

You can try to make the payment through a different card or account (maybe a friend or family). If the problem persists, email us at info@easyshiksha.com

Q. The payment got deducted, but the updated transaction status is showing โ€œfailedโ€. What to do now?

Due to some technical faults, this can happen. In such a case the amount deducted will be transferred to the bank account in the next 7-10 working days. Normally the bank takes this much time to credit the amount back into your account.

Q. The payment was successful but it still shows โ€˜Buy Nowโ€™ or not showing any videos on my dashboard? What should I do?

At times, there may be a slight delay in your payment reflecting on your EasyShiksha dashboard. However, if the problem is taking longer than 30 minutes, please let us know by writing to us at info@easyshiksha.com from your registered email id, and attach the screenshot of the payment receipt or transaction history. Soon after verification from the backend, we will update the payment status.

Q. What is the refund policy?

If you have enrolled, and are facing any technical problem then you can request a refund. But once the certificate has been generated, we shall not refund that.

Q.Can I just enrol in a single course?

Yes! You surely can. To begin this, just click the course of your interest and fill in the details to enrol. You are ready to learn, once the payment is made. For the same, you earn a certificate too.
