If you are entertaining starting your own business, we can share the positives and challenges of embarking in this new endeavor, as well as provide introductions to appropriate advisors.

 

We measure success by connections made, and, yet, we recognize that it takes time to find the right opportunity, particularly in today's complex, shifting marketplace.

Since an executive's search will likely be spaced out over several months or longer, we provide our career consulting services according to each executive's specific timetable. Using this "as it's useful" model, we are able to provide a maximum partnership in the search that is anything but theoretical.

A bulk number of hours are provided to an executive. In the first month, a concentrated number of hours are spent identifying the ideal opportunity and laying out a marketing plan for securing that opportunity. After that, the remaining hours are available to an executive—as they are most useful. While we provide initial general insights and direction in interviewing, for instance, we will be an even more important resource in preparing an executive for a specific interview and in refining his/her approach in follow-up interviews.
