Ian Maxwell's Linkedin Analytics

Why do most VPs never make it to the C-Suite? In the last 7 years, I've seen smart leaders struggle with the same problems again and again. They're nervous about interviewing and even finding the CTO job they want. These jobs aren’t posted on Indeed, and they don’t have time for networking. They struggle to talk about their accomplishments in a way that non-technical users can understand. They're frustrated with colleagues who don’t understand the real issues but seem to get all the funding. They're great at solving technical problems but get frustrated when it comes to inspiring and motivating teams. Personal problems and politics always get in the way. The stress affects their personal lives too. They're overworked. Even though they make good money, they aren’t enjoying time with their family, let alone having a hobby. These are the exact people I serve. In the last 7 years, I've worked with technical teams on career transitions. I've done this as a Technical Recruiter, an Executive Search consultant, and now as a career coach. Here’s what I love to do: I help my clients go from being confused and frustrated by the job search to loving the process. They feel confident networking and walk into their interviews stress-free. We cut down on the search time and land better positions. My clients learn how to tell their story and create the winning resume and LinkedIn profile they need to get noticed. My clients develop their communication skills, improve their ability to present, and become better leaders, so they don’t have to work as hard to get better results (and more funding). Once they are in the role, we solve the leadership challenges that held them back in their previous company. They start having more fun. Their teams start performing at a new level. They achieve better work-life balance, form deeper connections in their personal and professional lives, and start living a life by design. I love helping leaders navigate the executive career transition and create a life that brings them joy and pride in all areas, not just work. Need an expert eye on your transition strategy?
