I am interested in getting an executive career coach to help me understand how to get from where I am at now to an executive one day. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on company or a person

I work in security and would love one day to transition more of strategic business leader. I would want this career coach to understand the field and the path to success and have connections to be able to do this.

It sounds like what you’re looking for is a mentor or a consultant. Coaches will broaden your perspective but won’t tell you how to get where you want to go. Best of luck!

Hello! Have you taken the time to write down your vision of what “executive” looks like to you? Do you know what type of work excites you and what your passion about? Honestly, that’s step 1

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

I've become really jaded about consulting.

Motivation is key when it comes to bettering yourself, your team and your brand. Without self-motivation, you'll be less likely to inspire your team to work together to better your business.
