6 Director Level Interviews In 2 Months

If you are like one of my clients, you likely will fit the description below:

You have the desire and the potential to get to the next level.

You are a high performer with 10+ years of experience under your belt.

You graduated top of the class with a Masters's, Ph.D., or MBA degree.

You are routinely appreciated at work for your hard work and results.

You are the subject matter expert, someone your team can lean on with confidence.

But despite the education, experience, and expertise, you are failing to land interviews for Manager, Sr. Manager, and Director level roles.

The repeated rejection is leaving you deflated, sapping your confidence, making you doubt your very foundational education, experience, and expertise!

Here’s the reason that no one is willing to tell you.

It’s not because you don’t have the experience or the skills to land next-level roles.

It’s because you are not positioning your experience or skills at the next level.

This is the work I did with my client inside my coaching program.

I used my 3-step ELEVATE framework to help her reframe her current role at the next level and position her for Director-level roles.

Here’s the step-by-step breakdown we worked through:

EXPERIENCE:

Do you have experience leading teams indirectly or through influence?

Have you done team lead roles, with or without the title?

How can you create your own experience by leading professional organizations, working committees or ERGs in a leadership capacity?

EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS:

Have you delivered results that are beyond the scope of your current job?

How do your results impact the top line and bottom line of the company?

How can you create opportunities in your current role to deliver results your manager would typically be responsible for?

EMOTIONAL MATURITY:

Do you have the maturity to assess a difficult situation, plan mitigation, and deliver critical results?

How have you handled difficult personnel situations?

How have you done work that’s “above your paygrade” to take initiative and made life easy for your team?

RESULT?

Six Director-level interviews within two months of working together after hearing crickets for two years!

This can be your story too. You CAN break the invisible ceiling and break through to the next level in your career.
