We here at Employment Success have had the pleasure of closely working with many directors, C-level executives and change leaders on creating powerful CV and cover letter documents—and during that time, we have learned a great deal on what it takes to succeed in the corporate world. We have come to appreciate that becoming an executive-level professional is a reflection of your dedication, specialised skills and leadership that you have developed as well as exhibited during your career. However, we have designed this special Executive-Level Coaching opportunity to assist you in building a comprehensive plan on developing a rich career strategy which includes choosing the right recruiter, leveraging your network for unadvertised jobs, aligning your leadership/unique skill sets to sector requirements and exploring areas of professional development, properly editing your CV and creating a consistent brand. There will be 4 sessions which will be 1 hour long each—they will be immersive and interactive—and will utilise the knowledge we have gained through working with executives around the globe.
Executive-Level Coaching
Leveraging & Augmenting your Knowledge for Career Growth
Although you share similar traits to other executives such determination, resourcefulness and perseverance along with having experience in financial, operational and/or business management—it is imperative that you continually leverage your expertise as well as your Unique Selling Proposition—what separates you from others. In this session, we will delve into your accomplishments and experience—helping you design a strategy to maximize your strengths and areas for improvement through specialised training, education and even mentorship (which exist outside this coaching consultation.) In doing so, you will have a chance to follow a short-term map towards mastery of new skills of technologies, methodologies and continual self-improvement.
The Importance of Managing Professional Relationships
Being a successful executive means possessing exceptional communication skills and, in this session, we will review key strategies in negotiations, managing both senior and junior employees and working collaboratively with senior stakeholders, partners and board members. We will identify areas of opportunity when it comes to getting the most from managers and giving you the tools to be a great mentor/leader to not only employees at your organisation, but members of the community, students and other leaders outside your industry. Relationships are key to your continued success—and being aware of opportunities that can lead to new business paths, strengthen existing relationships and solidify your reputation as a leader that genuinely cares about others.
The Power of Inspiration, Imagination & Innovation
Did you know that many of the iconic business leaders that we know from the last century have not only been strong communicators, but have displayed innovative brilliance in areas of business operations and technological implementation? In this part, we will look at various figures and their achievements—opening a engaging discussion on how their imaginative spirit inspired change and innovation—and how you can apply some of their techniques to enhance the way you motivate people and spur increased revenues and business growth.
How to Effectively Work with Recruiters
In this part of the coaching experience, we will discuss the importance of recruiters in regards to your job search as well as your career development. Some of these top-tier specialists have managed and nurtured powerful professional networks while gaining deep insight in penetrating the fluctuating job market and recruiting the right candidate for an executive role that wasn’t advertized. That being said, we will show you the value of selecting the right recruiter through diligent research and even using your network in finding one—as many top-notch recruiters will only be known to you if you are referred to them! However, when you build a strong professional relationship with one (or even a few of them)—the benefits are innumerable and we explain the importance of this for your short and long-term career success.
Building & Management your ‘Executive Brand’
Building, managing and maintaining a high-caliber personal/professional brand defines your reputation and greatly improve the chances of you landing coveted leadership positions in respected companies. We will review your ‘brand’ on various channels including social media (Facebook) and business network platforms (LinkedIn) as well as offline and design a fresh branding strategy to reposition you amongst potential suitors, recruiters, business connections and even entrepreneurial partners. We will be utilizing a host of innovative as well as established marketing/branding strategies to grow and secure a consistent brand that reflects leadership, passion, knowledge, experience and expertise.
