1:1 career strategy

For senior professionals and leaders facing a complex promotion, transition or positioning decision. One specific move, six to twelve weeks, outcome-led.

This isn't the right starting point for most people. If you're earlier in the journey, or unsure what needs to change, start with the free Career Positioning Scorecard and the tools instead.

Who it's for

A repositioning, not a pep talk.

Typically senior managers, directors and functional leaders: people whose next move is high-stakes, politically complex, or hard to evidence from the outside.

We start with the role you're targeting - internal promotion, lateral move, sector switch, step up a level. Everything else works back from there.

By the end you'll have a positioning document, a tested narrative, a hiring dossier and a deliberate plan for the next 90 days.

The arc

Six to twelve weeks, four phases.

  1. Phase 01

    Diagnose

    Where you actually are. Where the market reads you. The honest gap.

  2. Phase 02

    Position

    Engineer the case. Narrative, evidence, signal. The document hiring leaders read.

  3. Phase 03

    Test

    Live conversations, interview design, real feedback loops with hiring-side proxies.

  4. Phase 04

    Land

    Negotiation, first-90-days plan, the move you came for.

Without Rich's coaching, I don't think I would have found my confidence and secured my new job.
