Transcript of Three Rides and a Fall A Model of a Perfect Job Experience
A model is an ideal representation of a thing or an experience
A model acts as a reference to compare to and validate against
This model is about looking at your job as a series of “rides”
Each ride has its features and challenges, gives and takes
In my opinion, it should be what you seek and expect in your current or future jobs
By seeing your job through the lens of “three rides and a fall”, you can make the most out of it
Your first ride should be devoted to learning… and you need to learn almost everything
The environment, the work, the strategies, the tactics, the people, and every aspect of the business
Nothing outstanding is expected of you except delivering what you’re asked for
Usually, you don’t get stretched, and most people perform more or less the same in this ride
It’s a huge loss, however, to skip this ride thinking of yourself as an expert who doesn’t need to learn!
Be extra careful of “over-confidence” at this stage as it will make you blind of realities and opportunities around you
What do you expect of someone who spends quality time learning… of course quality delivery!
This is a ride where you apply the best you have learned, and seek perfection and quality
It’s your chance to give back to your organization which gave you the opportunity to learn
This is a time of a partial return on investment they made in you
Yes, coaching! Being a role model puts a responsibility on your shoulders
To teach, to seek out others, and to give them a hand on their own rides
This is a stage where you become a master of what you’re doing, and ready to mentor others
This is a ride that’s hugely missed by most people tempted to seek out their next challenge
You cannot imagine how important this ride is to you, to your colleagues, and to your organization
It’s when you hit an outstanding return on investment, talking intellectual capital of course
It’s no harm at all to fall after three successful rides, right?
You fall because you become saturated and/or bored of the experiences your current job gives you
This is a time when you need to look for a change and seek your next challenge
Either internally or “preferably” externally beyond the boundaries of your current organization
To reflect on the current job and seek the right factors for the next!

It’s important to understand that models are abstract and life cannot match them exactly
Keep this model as a reference and a guide, as you might experience it in different variations
For instance, consider the blending of these rides with each other: learning & performing, or performing & coaching
What counts is what feels and gets experienced the most –the peaks – and the order of these peaks
Please, look at your current job differently with this model of three rides and a fall
And use it to plan for your next job with conscious joy!
