🎉 Client case study of the week

The Context: Our Career Success Fast Track™ client had struggled to secure her new role and ideal level of seniority, despite an amazing track record in her field. Things just weren't clicking on her own.
​
​The Success: Not only did she land her target role in December through our 1:1 hands-on support, she's already crushing her onboarding with confidence and building an amazing impression right out of the gate. She's also happier than she's been in a long time and finally feeling fulfilled.
​
​The Strategy: Coming into this role, we focused on her strategy to intentionally solidify her personal brand to create strong connections, elevate her expertise and build immediate trust. Additionally, we improved her communication skills and executive presence to elevate her leadership. We did this through role play examples and live practice which gave her the gift of going second when it mattered most. Let's go!
