Astute individuals understand that career success takes more than just working harder. Advancing is often as much as playing by the rules - including the unwritten rules - as it is about talent and results. Successful executives do take charge with adaptive responses – they continually design their career strategies; share knowledge, connect and collaborate with their diverse networks; work on what truly matters; examine their work-life choices for balance, energy and renewal; and have champions or trusted mentors. They craft their personal leadership brand.
The Talent Advisors strategic career coaching program is of particular value for those who have taken on their first leadership responsibilities; those who will on-ramp back into an executive career; women with promotion capability; those who are in the first 100 days of a transition into a new role; or those wanting to regain focus. It has also been successful with those exploring a portfolio career that includes board positions.
Neutrality is the unique difference an external talent advisor offers. At the core of the relationship is discretion so that the individual can articulate their inner dialogue with total trust. It also provides reflection time – a rarity in today’s world of business.
Our strategic career positioning process offers high-potential executives ‘in-the-moment’ guidance for their long-term career success. We act as a guide, assisting the executive to focus, plan and be more effective than he or she may be able to do alone. Research shows that approaching careers more strategically does have a real impact on improving promotion prospects and on performance ratings.
Despite an increasing need to exploit all talent sources, companies invest minimal effort and lack sustainable practices to ensure transitions are successful. 75% of executives’ rate the difficulty of their transition as ‘above average’ and it is higher for women taking up their first line role or appointment to Partner.
