CORPORATE FINANCE EXECUTIVES

You have achieved a high level of career success in a world where integrity, confidentiality, clear value, and great service are expected, even demanded. You have succeeded because you understand the rules of the game and you are the best at what you do.

In the competitive world of top-talent and in-demand positioning, however, it's a different game ... the average tenure of a CFO is 3 years and the rules can seem vague and confusing.

  • Do you recognize that your market value is at its greatest when you are still employed?

  • Does your resume adhere to the Blackberry principle?

  • Is your value proposition branded, clear, and compelling?

  • Do you know your Google Quotient?

You've worked hard to get to where you are in your job. Does it make sense to leave your next career move to chance?

At your level of achievement, you need more than generic answers and a quick-fix. You need a partner who takes your success as seriously as you do and will treat you and your objectives with the integrity, confidentiality, and great service that is a part of your daily world. You need a partner who understands how this game is played and can work with you to:

  • Define and leverage your unique brand as a key differentiator in the market

  • Align your career with your values, strengths, interests, and career goals

  • Gain visibility in the marketplace to win your next big opportunity

  • Move powerfully toward your next step up the ladder

  • Build an effective plan and strategy for long-term career management

Gain a competitive edge with a strategic partner you can trust ... and become a champion of your career success!

What's new...

Speaking ...

I'll be presenting at AFP's annual conference in Los Angeles in October.

The New Definition of Executive Extinction:
NO Brand, NO Social Network, and NO Visibility

The average tenure of a finance executive today is three years. Whether you are positioning yourself for the next move within your organization or planning for a future external move, the 'most desired candidate,' the one with the greatest marketable value, is the one who is NOT looking for a job.

But if you aren't looking, how will you be found? Attracting the right, great opportunities means having a clear and compelling brand, building visibility online, and leveraging the power of social networks.

This presentation will teach you the new game rules for winning brand differentiation and how to get on the radar screen of those people who need to know about you.

Hope to see you there!
