Your Partner in your Executive Career Growth
We help high-earning senior leaders and executives to achieve enhanced job satisfaction, higher financial rewards, and consequently a better quality of life by coaching them through their next career move with fully customized, confidential, and professional advice.
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR EXECUTIVE CAREER SUCCESS BLUEPRINT
The higher up the executive ladder you are, the more difficult it gets to find the best job.
Whether you are an experienced senior leader or looking to step into senior, leadership, or executive echelons for the first time, you may be uncertain about how to identify the role that most appropriately meets your personality, skills, and aspirations, how to effectively project your own personal brand, or how to fine-tune your career story for the greatest impact.
This is particularly true if you have held long tenures in the past, or if you are looking to transition industries, roles, or geographies.

Let us help you prepare so you can negotiate your way to an executive role that is the best fit for your skills, personality, aspirations, and life goals.
THE STAKES ARE HIGH
The higher up the executive ladder you are, the higher are the stakes.
For one, salaries and remuneration at senior and executive levels can vary tremendously. Being better prepared can mean being able to negotiate significantly higher pay and compensation packages.
Secondly, expectations are often high, reflecting the salary and compensation packages available. You are expected to hit the ground running. This can be great if you have found a role that you can not only excel in, but that appropriately fits your skills, personality, and aspirations. On the flip side a mismatched role can quickly prove to be counter-productive to your career or personal goals.
Finally, the right role will complement your career growth, potentially fast-tracking it to the stratosphere, whereas the wrong role or an inappropriate fit, may have the effect of the brakes being applied to your career .
Get these it right, and your career trajectory and benefits can be deeply rewarding. Getting them wrong, however, can set you back significantly.
There is no better time to achieve career growth than when you are transitioning roles.
Psychometric Testing
Self - knowledge

Personal Brand & Positioning
Profile & Messaging
Distribution
Interviews & Negotiation
The better your self-understanding, the more refined your career and transition strategy, and the clearer the tools you use to present yourself, the higher the odds you will transition on your own terms.
How Well Prepared Are You?
01.
Self Understanding
When did you last take your foot off the gas and sit back to reconsider what you want from your career? How close is to your aspirations - not just in terms of career progress but also in terms of satisfaction, values, and lifestyle?
In short, how well do you really understand yourself, and what adjustments to make to your career strategy for it to be altogether more fulfilling and rewarding, and also in sync with your personal life and with your family?
03.
Personal Brand
You are not just a sum total of the work and experience reflected in your CV. As you step into active search mode, how aware are you of what you stand for, what key and relevant skills you bring to the table, and why you would stand out amongst a sea of candidates?
05.
Distribution
The default, conventional approach is to broadcast your CV, applying to a number of roles and hoping that one or more lands. The strategic approach, however, is to be sharply focused, and therefore it is crucial that your profile is distributed appropriately for the greatest effect.
It boils down to being visible and being compelling.
02.
Career Strategy
How clear and confident are you about your targeted role, function, and employer companies? Does your planned trajectory fit your skills, personality, and aspirations, giving you the best odds of not only long term success but of the greatest personal fulfilment?
In effect, how much of a strategic view do you have of your own career? Are you reactive in your approach, or poised to identify and even create opportunities that will serve you even better?
04.
Messaging - CV & LinkedIn
Your carefully crafted personal brand and positioning are useless unless they are complemented by compelling messaging that focuses and delivers through your CV and LinkedIn profile - all structured to focus on relevancy, results, credibility, social proof, and a call to action.
06.
Interviews and Negotiation
Hiring managers are looking for candidates who can clearly do one of three main things: make money, save money, or reduce risk. That is all every business boils down to. As it was in your profile and CV preparation, you must present yourself at this stage with the hiring manager’s perspective in mind and see how any skill or experience you have will directly translate to more money, lower cost, or reduced risk.
