GREAT overview. I really enjoyed this article. You are offing some very sound advice to executives in transition –in any industry — in any market environment. People really need help to keep up with the changes during changing time. Having a trusted mentor and sounding board –on your side– can certainly help anyone overcome the traps and obstacles. This is not the time to experiment.

Regards.

This article readily confirms what we passionately affirm. There’s more on my blog, but suffice it to say, it covers the bases.

Great Article!
As a career coach, I’m always looking for new ideas. This article has many.
A job seeker can learn to focus, maintain discipline, and keep to a process.
By doing so, a job seeker can minimize the negativity associated with the job search in these poor economic times.
There are positions out there!!

David’s comments are quite targeted and accurate starting with the first piece of advice “be proactive, follow your instincts, believe in yourself and stay the course”…. finally concluding with a recommendation of using an executive career coach.

Each segment – finding direction, marketing one’s self, research, interview preparation, negotiation, Entrpreneurship and Peer Groups all hit home from an applicability and usefulness perspective.

Finally, emotioinal support- Executives are usually the person that people in organizations turn to for advice and direction. Turning to someone else like a coach may seem out of charachter, but it is precisely what is needed. The coach is the sounding board for ideas, the confidant that understands the technicalities and can offer sound technical advice. They can offer emotional support and be a motivating source when a good swift kick is called for.
