The challenge

You're a high-potential leader with aspirations, but your personal narrative isn't working — or you're not sure where it leads next. Your career may feel like it's just happening to you.

You want to craft a cohesive and compelling narrative that feels authentic when you share it with your network and gatekeepers, like executive recruiters who hold the keys to your career advancement.

You want to control your own destiny.
