The executives with the deepest expertise are often the most committed to preparation.
Deep functional expertise can be a double-edged sword. When you know your work inside and out, it can be difficult to recognize which decisions, examples, and results will best illustrate that you’re ready for the next level.
Having an experienced, go-to advisor in your corner can create an advantage that compounds across your career. Someone who understands where you’ve been, recognizes how you’ve grown, and knows where you want to go can challenge your thinking and help you communicate your value in a way that cannot be ignored.
A recent note from a client reminded me how much more valuable that outside perspective can become when it’s strengthened by a longstanding professional relationship.
“As I was reflecting afterward, I realized this is the fourth role you've helped me prepare for. Every session has helped me grow not just as an interviewee, but as a leader. I'm truly grateful for your guidance and support. I wanted to share that I signed my offer letter today and that my start date will be August 30! I sincerely appreciate you and the work you do!”

Has the way you communicate your professional value evolved with your career, or are you still telling a story that’s out of step with the leader you’ve become?
