What’s the Process?

My process can generally be broken into three phases, with individual customization done at each phase.

Phase One: Key Motivators - Identifying factors that motivate you to be your best self

Sample areas of exploratory may include:

• What were the drivers of performance when you felt your absolute best (personally or professionally)?

• What most inspired you?

• Where did you get your energy from?

• What did success look and feel like?

Phase Two:  Key Drivers – Identifying the factors that drive you to success in your professional life

Sample areas of exploratory may include:

• Personal Drivers: e.g. finances, mental balance, friends & family

• Emotional Drivers: e.g. tangible impact, visible relevance, validation, recognition

• Functional Drivers: e.g. analysis, business building, storytelling, operations

Phase Three:  The Ideal Opportunity – Profiling the ideal career opportunity and developing the tools to help find it

Sample areas of exploratory may include:

• Developing a personal narrative based on your motivators and drivers

• Identifying the types of roles that could satisfy all your motivators and drivers

• Creating your “sales pitch” to go after those roles

• Updating your tools: e.g. resume, Linked-In, socials, etc

It’s important to note that these phases can work concurrently with an on-going opportunity search and assessment, networking, and interviewing.  Real-time experience in engaging in a career search can significantly enhance the result of each phase of the process.

What’s the benefit?

I have helped people at all stages of their life and career re-orient their focus and launch new, exciting and fulfilling chapters in their careers. The proven benefits of his process include:

• Developing a more detailed understanding of what motivates you to be at your absolute best, most inspired and engaged in your career

• Sharpening your personal narrative to be completely aligned with that understanding

• Aligning your “tools” to reflect that narrative and to be more authentic to you and more motivating to potential employers

• Creating a set of specific “filters” that allow you to assess potential job and career opportunities for fit very quickly and earlier in the process

• Arming you with specific questions for interviews and networking that are unique to you and differentiated from other candidates

• Having an experienced, independent, empathetic, and energetic thought partner to keep you focused, sane, motivated and moving forward.

• Landing a job where you’re more inspired, engaged, impactful and successful, likely leading to better performance, compensation and future opportunity.

Why Me (and maybe Why Not)?

• I have been there and done that.  At a few points in my own career, I have either had to change trajectory or decided I really wanted to.  Experience creates empathy.

• My decades of experience hiring, managing, mentoring and developing people around the world in different disciplines and in different organizations has given me a unique and powerful perspective on what drives people to be their best.

• The foundation of my career is in product development, marketing, branding, advertising and sales.  You can put that expertise to work for you.

• My process involves a degree of self-reflection that most of us never get the chance to do. If that work is not for you, than my approach may not be the best fit.

• If you’re looking for help primarily to update your resume and LinkedIn, support your networking process, prep for interviews and evaluate opportunities, there are other very capable coaches focused exclusively in that area.  I am happy to make a referral for you.

Testimonials

Don’t just take my word for it! See what a few of my clients have to say about their experience:

“Peter didn't just help me transition into a new role, he also helped me transition to being a different kind of leader, with an entirely new set of skills. He helped make sense of sometimes very confusing environments and he taught me to examine challenges from a new and different altitude. I could always count on him to be kind and supportive, but above all I am grateful that Peter always told me the truth - I trusted him completely.”
