Developing Your Executive Career

June 9, 2019 by Colin Gautrey

As an executive, or a talented individual heading for the executive level, your first priority is always to deliver results and meet expectations, in your current role.

I’m sure you’ll agree that this is no easy task in today’s climate.

Yet you’ll also agree that finding the time to focus on your career development, preparing yourself for the next step, exposing yourself to the potential call from a headhunter, is also a top priority.

What I notice is that for most people, the pressures of work consumes so much time and energy, there is little left for career development.

If this is familiar to you, it means that there is a growing risk your career will start to drift, just at the time when the opportunity and potential is greatest.

So, here’s an idea.

To give yourself and your career the some well-deserved attention – consider engaging me as your personal coach.

Over the last few years I have helped many senior level professionals to rise through the ranks, delivering results, preparing themselves for their next step, making that next step a reality, and then jumping into new and bigger roles.

So, maybe it is time for me to help you.

If I think you’re a good fit for the people I work best with, I will be able to provide you with:

  1. A structured programme of coaching over 6-12 months, tailored to suit your specific needs and ambitions.
  2. Challenge, stimulation and guidance as you develop your next step.
  3. Safe, confidential discussions totally independent of your organisation.
  4. Specific coaching to develop your position, mindset, presence, impact and reputation.
  5. Vast array of additional resources to support our work together.
  6. Regular calls to keep you on track – the friendly discipline to ensure you do the work.
  7. In-the-moment support in case a crisis hits.

There is more I could say here, but rather than waste your time or mine, if this has piqued your interest, and you’d like to find out more, just get in touch and we can book a call.

Then I can assess your current situation, and if appropriate, tell you exactly how this could work for you.

Don’t let this opportunity slip past. Book a call and see if we can work together.
