The team behind Platinum Career Coaching are experts in career management and helping people to make the very best choices in their job search.
We work exclusively with senior executives, coaching them to understand their values, strengths and talents. Together, we design a clear career plan and support them in turning the plan into reality.
Our coaches have helped hundreds of organisations and thousands of individuals across all sectors to deliver successful career transitions..
The Platinum Career Coaching programme is for exceptional people who find themselves at a career crossroads, whether as a result of a merger or an acquisition, an organisational reshaping or other structural change.
Senior roles are changing and where one or more senior executives are impacted we offer a truly bespoke career management service, enabling even high achievers to optimise their next career move.
Tailored support at this crucial moment provides reassurance and momentum for successful career development. The power of our programme lies in its unmatched ability to diagnose and address critical needs at the right time.
Successful people take the time to understand themselves. They find the time and space to reflect and put in place a job search strategy to find their next role.
Individual Knowledge: Developing an in-depth understanding of what is important, including values and motivators.
Individual Talents: To uncover intrinsic talents, we clarify what he or she does well and enjoys.
Individual Networks: Understanding the power of the network, and how investing in this delivers a career dividend.
Successful career management is all about having clarity over one’s destination. The ability to identify what it is the best candidates require for a successful role change.
We put in place a strategy to ensure each individual is carefully matched to targeted roles – and help them to emerge as the best-in-class candidate.
People who achieve their career goals don’t simply put together a written plan. They take time to build a network to deliver it successfully.
With our support, individuals build strong networks to support both their job search and future career goals. Our research team, unique network of business leaders and search executives all help them to get in front of the right people.
Long term employability comes from investing in career development both “on the job” and beyond current roles. Successful individuals balance maintaining their skills and knowledge with the evolving marketplace demands, keeping both today and tomorrow in mind.
With access to a dedicated career coach, as well as specialists in key areas such as CV writing, presentation skills and social media use, the Platinum Career Coaching programme supports the development of enduring employability.
When taking a brief, we take the time to get under the skin of your transition challenges. This makes a critical difference to creating and delivering a career coaching programme that is truly transformational. To get to the heart of the challenge quickly, we are not afraid to challenge the brief in order to agree the best way forward. Once this is established, we typically follow these 5 steps of the Platinum Career Coaching Programme…
The personal chemistry between our Lead Career Coach and those going through career change is crucial. Our coaches are not only acknowledged experts in career transition – some also have many years of experience as business leaders in their own right.
We have a two-step process:
a. The senior executive reads several profiles to explore the personal style, experience and attributes of each coach. The executive meets the two most inspiring coaches and chooses which of them to work with.
b. The coach becomes a ‘professional friend’ – a one-to-one mentor, coach, advisor and manager of the service from start to finish.
It is crucial for senior executives in transition to take time to understand themselves. The coach helps them to:-
a. Know Why
b. Know How
c. Know Whom
Clarity around an individual’s career destination is essential. We identify target companies and those with the power to hire. Seventy per cent of all senior executive roles are filled through networking, so we also audit personal networks and recommend ways to leverage these effectively for the best possible job search.
We also provide:-
a. Specialist help in putting together a CV and LinkedIn profile.
b. Research assistance for identifying targets and setting up interviews, client meetings and other personal, financial, administrative and presentational advice and support.
c. Strategic business advice and support to address issues and identify challenges.
With the right job strategy in place, we help senior executives deliver on it. Practical help we give includes:-
a. Developing presentational skills (including access to presentational, voice and image coaches) for maximum impact.
b. Interview preparation and practice, including the use of recorded TV footage, to ensure candidates have the right approach and mindset.
c. Practical guidance on CV production, proactive PR campaigns and access to boutique search support.
d. Monitoring and feedback on the execution of the job strategy, with KPIs and milestones to measure effectiveness.
e. Assistance with structuring business plan pitches, negotiating remuneration, preparation and coaching during the first 90 days in the new role to ensure successful transition.
Long-term employability means investing in oneself not only “on the job” but also in thinking ahead beyond the current role. So we go far further than others – typically our clients receive our ongoing professional support. They call on us whenever they need to resolve challenges that arise in their daily working lives and key career moments, with lifelong access to our network of business leaders. Similarly, the networks we help executives to build during their transition will serve them well over the remainder of their career. It is essential that their network understands their values and motivators and that personal brand is aligned to career aspirations.
