Individual Support:  5-Phased Approach.  If you have been in your search long enough with disappointing results or you are just starting out and want to maximize your time in this "different" economy and market, working with Gail may be the answer to being more brave and effective.  Leverage this life-changing opportunity, learn expert methods, gain a sense of purpose and direction, and learn steps to show up authentically, speak up more powerfully, and move through the search process with confidence.

Inspired Choice 5-Phased Executive Search Program

This program is customized to match your needs for frequency and structure over a 3-4 month period.  This is a starter program that takes you through 5 key phases tailored to your needs.  Reduce your search time, stay on track with a mission-driven plan, create clear marketing messages, and initiate more effective consultative conversations in all your networking, asking for introductions and interviewing activity.  You will only work on the skills and phases you need.

Five-Phased Approach to Support Your Search. Using a 4-step process, Gail helps you get really clear about what you truly want, break through “yes, but” obstacle thinking to identify options, make an inspired choice, and take action.  Gail believes thought is the basis for all results.  Your thoughts influence your feelings and emotions, which impacts the choices you make, actions you take and your outcomes.  This program helps you improve your results by starting with a look at your thoughts and beliefs. 

1. Internal search and prep: clarity on what you really want, your mission, mindset, and offering. Job search is a huge opportunity to be introspective and intentional. Build or re-build confidence, clarity, direction and boost your emotional and social fitness.
2. Structure supportive work environment: schedule, organization, follow-up, tracking, resilience and motivation.
3. External search and marketing: identify target market, brand, marketing messages, promotion methods, leverage LinkedIn. Learn to sell without selling so self-promotion and networking is easier without the "ick factor"
4. Action: initiate consultative conversations in networking, asking for introductions, and interviews
5. Transition plan:setting expectations and pacing for successful first 100 days, without losing your Self

Program Includes:

• 3-4 month starter program with optional specially-priced month-to-month additional coaching available to take you from search to success at your own pace
• 15-question Discovery Document, an agreement to include confidentiality and responsibilities and exercises along the way
• in-person first session when possible for 1.5-2.0 hours
• scheduled phone calls of 40-45 minutes based on your need for structure and building momentum. Calls are either 3x or 4x per month.  You will practice new ways of thinking and acting, integrating new habits of thought and behavior
• in-between short calls and email to prep for or debrief interviews, networking meetings, etc.
• review of marketing materials like emails, cover letters, LinkedIn profile, resume

What participants and clients have said...

“I had the opportunity to work with Gail as she facilitated a large networking group (50+) of executives in search of their next career. She was instrumental in providing guidance for the group as well as insight for each individual on how they could best articulate themselves. Gail is a master of influencing others without authority. She is able to highlight the best qualities of a leader, help them identify their strengths, and provide constructive feedback in an energizing and positive way. She has a unique ability to help others reach their full potential through self realization. Gail is an asset to help executives become stronger leaders and to help teams become more productive and efficient! She has been an inspiration to me!”  Terri Hines

“I want to recommend Gail who I worked with early this year to help determine which direction I should take with my job search. I initially wanted help with networking, but Gail quickly sensed my suppressed desires to take a totally different direction. As a result of Gail's skilled guidance I purchased a business in New Mexico. So far this decision has been a good one.”  Mike Meyer

Her networking events, personal consultations and information for those seeking employment are phenomenal! Her enthusiasm and drive are contagious! I highly recommend Gail's services to Executives seeking career advice and assistance.” Dianne Shanabruch
