Tired of getting offers at “low” or “average” salary when you KNOW your experience and skills are worth so much more?

But what's the secret to landing your dream job with a salary that matches your true value?

I'll give you a tip…

It’s not from the "traditional job search".

Hi, my name is Lucien.

7 years ago, I took a leap and bought a one-way ticket from Germany to London. 

Back then, when I was job seeking I had no idea what I was doing, but with experience and research, I found ways to turn the odds in your favor.

That’s what led me to 4x’d my salary within 5 years.

Fast forward, I've worked 1-1 with 300+ talented professionals across 10 industries who've accelerated their career trajectory, and salary in record time.

In the last 4 years, I've helped clients ranging from managers to C-Suite executives.

→ Average client job search length 3.09 months (94 days)
→ £1.3M in salary increases
→ 91% success rate in landing target roles
→ Manager to Department Head progressions
→ Career jumps from Department Head to the C-Suite.

I’ve put my experience into a simple framework with proven methods that anyone can use to land their dream job.
