During my recent job transition, Cathy played an instrumental role in helping me update my LinkedIn profile, updating my resume, developing a sound search strategy, and providing coaching and mentorship throughout the process. Cathy did a remarkable job of customizing her approach and recommendations to what made the most sense for me. Specifically, I was looking for an Executive or Senior Leadership role, and Cathy really tailored her approach to accommodate what I was looking for in a new role. During the process, Cathy also pushed me to do some real soul-searching to determine what provided me with personal and professional fulfillment, which helped to ensure that I was being considered for the right opportunities. Finally, what really helped me was that Cathy helped to set proper expectations of how Executive recruitment occurs in reality, as I had never engaged in a search strategy for Executive roles previously. This is where I derived a ton of value from Cathy’s coaching and mentorship. Figuring out your next opportunity can be a stressful experience, but Cathy made it much less so by setting proper expectations around potential rejection and by encouraging me to embrace the positivity of the experience.
