Career Coaching for Senior Executive Career Transition

Rosalene Glickman PhD

Rosalene Glickman, Ph.D.

Welcome. As a seasoned executive career coach, I understand what it’s like for a senior executive in career transition. You may be unemployed and seeking a new role or in a full time position and considering a career change. You may be negotiating a position with a new company.

If you received a severance package, you’ve been awarded a scholarship to reevaluate your life and career. But, you may be experiencing a sense of loss and some tension at home. Your spouse may view you with less respect, and there may be some genuine concern about the loss of health benefits. This may be the first time in years that you have reflected on the meaning of your life.

If we were face to face during career coaching, I would inquire about what you do best and what you would most like to achieve. I would ask about the challenges involved, and whether you have had career coaching to support your career change. I would work with you to:

  • Prioritize career priorities and clarify your next career move
  • Optimize your executive brand
  • Execute a targeted networking strategy
  • Master the toughest high-stakes interviews
  • Negotiate the compensation package you deserve

For the past 24 years, clients have negotiated an average of 19.2 percent (19.2%) above the original compensation package offer.

Career Counseling to Prepare for Interviews

Prepare brief, accurate responses to issues about yourself, your last job, your transition and Why ywou want to work for the target company.
