I always had those nagging doubts whether my old approach, which was tailored towards the local Canadian market, would be competitive in the high-end international luxury hospitality segment. Working with Tim showed me how right I was about those nagging doubts. My new strategy and resume generated several leads already. Thank you!

Taking the Next Step in Your Career
Taking the next step in your career might take more than simply waiting for the right opportunity. While it is quite convenient to wait for an internal opportunity or to send your leadership resume to a few executive recruiters, these approaches share one thing: they are passive.
You certainly don't apply a passive approach when leading and transforming your teams or turning around businesses, so why would you be any different when it comes to your own career?
With my support, we will develop a strategic approach to pursue your next opportunity. We will start much earlier in the executive career food chain.
Are you ready to truly transform your executive resume, cover letter, and executive bio? Do you need an optimized LinkedIn profile that opens doors for you and works 24/7 even when you are sleeping?
