We Understand Your Unique Position
As a senior leader, your career considerations carry complexities that others might not fully appreciate. You can't casually explore options or reach out to your network without careful thought. Your decisions affect not just yourself but teams, stakeholders, and potentially your organization's direction. This makes navigating transitions particularly delicate.
The Discretion Challenge
You need to explore your options thoughtfully, but doing so requires discretion. Traditional career services aren't designed for executive-level confidentiality needs, and you can't risk word getting out that you're considering a move.
The Positioning Complexity
Executive roles aren't posted on job boards. Board positions require different approaches entirely. Portfolio careers need careful design. You understand this landscape is different, but navigating it effectively requires specialized knowledge.
The Isolation Factor
At your level, you have few peers you can speak with candidly about career considerations. Your current colleagues aren't appropriate sounding boards, and you need perspective from others who understand executive transitions firsthand.
The Stakes Feel Higher
You've spent years building your executive reputation and network. Your next move needs to align with your track record and maintain the professional standing you've worked so hard to establish. The margin for missteps feels narrower.
These concerns are entirely valid and reflect the reality of executive-level transitions. You need support that acknowledges these complexities and provides guidance designed specifically for senior leaders navigating significant career decisions.
A Sophisticated Approach for Senior Leaders
Executive Career Navigation addresses the unique requirements of senior-level transitions. This program recognizes that your needs differ fundamentally from mid-career professionals and provides the discrete, strategic support that executive moves require.
Executive Positioning
We help you articulate your executive value proposition, develop your thought leadership presence, and position yourself strategically for board roles, consulting engagements, or senior positions.
Confidential Support
All work is conducted with complete discretion. You'll connect with a small, carefully curated peer group of other senior leaders, creating a safe space for honest exploration and strategic thinking.
Strategic Navigation
You'll learn how executive search actually works, how board positions are secured, and how to design portfolio careers that leverage your expertise while providing the flexibility you're seeking.
Why This Approach Works
Executive transitions require a different playbook than mid-career moves. The networks operate differently, the timelines are longer, and the positioning requires more nuance. This program acknowledges these realities and provides guidance from someone who understands executive-level considerations intimately.
Your coach has worked extensively with senior leaders and understands the Tokyo executive landscape. You'll also benefit from insights shared within your confidential peer group, where other executives discuss their transitions candidly, providing perspective you won't find elsewhere.
What Working Together Looks Like
Over nine weeks, you'll receive individualized executive coaching combined with confidential peer sessions designed specifically for senior leaders. The pace respects your schedule while providing substantive guidance for your transition considerations.
Weeks 1-2: Executive Assessment and Vision Clarification
We begin by examining your executive trajectory, leadership strengths, and what you're genuinely seeking in your next chapter. This isn't about polishing a resume but understanding what will bring satisfaction and align with your values at this stage of your career.
Weeks 3-4: Market Intelligence and Opportunity Assessment
You'll gain understanding of how executive search firms operate, how board positions are typically filled, and what consulting or portfolio career models might fit your situation. We'll assess opportunities realistically based on your background and the current landscape.
Weeks 5-7: Executive Brand Development and Positioning
We'll refine your executive biography, develop your thought leadership strategy, and create materials that position you appropriately for high-level opportunities. This includes LinkedIn optimization for executives, board biographies if relevant, and positioning strategy for your target opportunities.
Weeks 8-9: Strategic Execution and Next Steps
You'll develop your action plan for moving forward, practice high-level interviewing or board interview scenarios, and establish clear next steps. By the end, you'll have clarity on your direction and a concrete strategy for pursuing it discretely.
Program Includes
- Seven individual executive coaching sessions (90 minutes each)
- Three confidential peer group sessions with senior leaders
- Executive search firm insights and strategy session
- Executive brand development and positioning materials
- Confidential email and phone access for sensitive questions
What Sets This Apart
Unlike general career coaching, this program understands that executive moves operate on different timelines and through different channels. The confidential peer groups are carefully curated to include only senior leaders, creating conversations that wouldn't be possible elsewhere. Many participants find these peer connections become valuable long-term relationships.

Understanding Executive Timelines
Executive-level transitions rarely happen quickly, and that's appropriate. Board positions may take a year or more to materialize. Senior roles often involve extended search processes. Portfolio careers require careful design and relationship building. What this program provides is the strategic foundation and positioning that makes these transitions more likely to succeed when the right opportunity emerges.
