Senior executive
How it works

From first conversation to your next appointment.

Every programme follows the same deliberate path. We understand you, map your market, position you, then take you to it. Executive Transition covers all four stages, and our other programmes cover the stages you need. One Executive Transition Coach guides every step.

Stage I

The consultation

Before you commit to anything
All programmes

A private consultation

A confidential video conversation about your career to date, how you're positioned now, the roles you're targeting and what isn't working. If you have a current CV or LinkedIn profile, share it beforehand so we can make the most of the time.

Matched to your coach

Your Executive Transition Coach is chosen for your career level and the transition you're making. You'll receive their bio before the engagement begins, and they stay with you from here to the end.

You leave with

A clear recommendation on whether to proceed, which service fits, and exactly what the engagement will deliver.

Stage II

Strategy

The foundation for everything that follows
Executive Brand: strategy session, value and target market · Executive Strategy adds the recruiter and company map and your plan

Your strategy session

An in-depth video session of two to three hours exploring your leadership narrative, quantified achievements, stakeholder impact, board experience and the roles you want next. Block out quiet time, and come with two or three achievements you're proudest of. Executive Profile starts instead with a 90-minute CV consultation.

Define your target market

The sectors, organisation types and locations where your experience is worth the most, and the value proposition that sets you apart in them.

Map the recruiters and companies

The executive search firms and specialist recruiters who place leaders at your level in your sector, and the organisations and decision-makers worth approaching directly.

Your transition strategy

A personal plan of approach: who to speak to, in what order, and with what message, so you reach the market before roles are advertised.

You leave with

Your value proposition, a defined target market, your recruiter and company map, and a transition plan.

Stage III

Positioning

First drafts typically within three business days of your strategy session
All programmes · Executive CV and LinkedIn from Executive Profile, bio and networking CV from Executive Brand

Your documents, written from scratch

Your executive CV, executive bio and one-page networking CV, all built on one positioning narrative so nothing contradicts anything else. No templates, no recycled content.

Your LinkedIn, branded

Rewritten to match your positioning and to surface when search consultants run their searches and build their shortlists.

Refined until it's right

Unlimited revisions with no time limit and no extra charge, with follow-up calls included. Most clients need one to three rounds.

You leave with

Your documents in Word and PDF, LinkedIn-ready text, and an ATS optimisation report. Typically complete about two weeks after your strategy session.

Stage IV

Into the market

Six months
Executive Transition

Opportunities flagged early

We track leadership changes, search mandates and senior moves in your market, and flag the roles likely to open before they're advertised.

Positioned and introduced

For each opportunity, your coach angles your CV, LinkedIn and story to the seat, and we use our connections to reach the right search consultants and decision-makers early. When a role is advertised, we tailor your application to it.

Your coach alongside you

For six months your coach works through each opportunity with you and helps you weigh up offers when they come. Interview coaching can be added for full preparation before each interview.

The result

You're in the conversation early, competing as a known candidate rather than one of hundreds.

Your documents

Every document has a job.

Senior transitions don't run on a single CV. Each piece we write is built for a specific moment in your search, and all of them tell the same story.

Executive CV

Gets you assessed and presented. It's what a search consultant needs to measure you against the client's brief and put you forward.

Outreach notes

Get your CV read by the right consultant. Short, specific and written to start a conversation, not to repeat what's already in your CV.

One-page networking CV

Opens doors where there's no vacancy. For introductions, coffee meetings and contacts at target companies.

Executive bio

Carries you through shortlists, board conversations, speaking and introductions made on your behalf.

LinkedIn profile

Confirms it all. Search consultants will look you up within minutes of reading your name, and it puts you in their searches before they do.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

Is it confidential?

Completely. Everything you share stays between you and your coach, and nothing goes to a search firm or employer without your approval.

How long does it take?

First drafts typically arrive within three business days of your strategy session, and the positioning stage is usually complete in two to three weeks. If you need to move faster, tell us when you book and we'll accommodate it where we can.

Which service is right for me?

That's what the consultation is for. We'll recommend the programme that fits the move you're making, from Executive Profile through to the full Executive Transition. Compare programmes.

What do I need to prepare?

Very little. Share your current CV or LinkedIn if you have one, block out quiet time for your strategy session, and come with two or three achievements you're proudest of.

What if it doesn't work?

Revisions are unlimited, with no time limit and no extra charge, until your documents are right. If something isn't working in your search, tell your coach and we'll rework it with you.
