Get Started

Challenge.

You are ready to move up in your career to the executive ranks (director, VP, C-suite), but you're struggling with how to get started. Just finding executive-level roles is difficult, and interviewing for them is even harder.

​Or maybe you are lacking the confidence in your own executive abilities and can't seem to find a clear answer on what makes an executive different than a manager or individual contributor.

Get Started

There are three stages in a typical career:

Individual Contributor

An individual contributor in a company is an employee who contributes to the organization's objectives primarily through their own skills and efforts, rather than by managing others.

Manager

Managers are tasked with managing resources in an organization by ensuring that organizational goals are met through the efforts of their subordinates.

 

Executive

An executive in a company is a senior-level employee who makes high-level decisions, sets strategic directions, and oversees the overall operations and performance of the organization.

What Got You Here, Won't Get You There

To take your career to the executive level and become the leader you know you can be, you must first develop your Executive Presence, Executive Style, and your Executive Network. Without these, you will be left standing on the wrong side of the gap between manager and executive.

From Manager to Executive

The gap between Manager and Executive is deceptively wide. To make this transition, it takes more than learning about finance and other business basics. Executives have an entirely different mindset than managers.
