Executive Translation 📖 The Executive Translation Influence Method

You're doing next-level work.
You're being described in current-level language.

I translate your expertise into the story promotion committees and hiring managers choose, then help you put it in front of the people who decide. For senior experts stuck one level too low, and for international leaders who lead and interview in English.

Start here: the two-week Clarity Sprint.

Whether you're a senior expert ready for your next real step, or an international leader who needs to be heard in English at the level you actually work, the Clarity Sprint gives you a clear answer in two weeks, in writing.

What you get

  • A real diagnosis of what's creating the gap between your experience and how you're being perceived
  • The one story that positions you for the next level, tested out loud in a 90-minute session
  • A written Translation Brief: your positioning, gap map, three proof stories, ten line rewrites, and a 30-day plan
  • Ten line rewrites for your résumé, LinkedIn, or self-review, ready to paste
  • A 30-minute follow-up to pressure-test the plan before you use it
  • Everything delivered in writing so you can keep and use it

Two weeks, start to finish

  1. Day 0

    You book and send your materials

    A short intake form, plus your résumé, LinkedIn, most recent performance review, and the role you're aiming for.

  2. Days 1–4

    I read everything

    I look for the decisions, scope, and impact hiding in your work: the parts experts leave out.

    90-minute Translation Session

    One deep 1:1 conversation. We find your next-level story and test it out loud.

  4. Day 8

    Your Translation Brief arrives

    A written document you keep and use in reviews, promotion conversations, and interviews.

  5. Days 12–14

    30-minute follow-up

What clients say

Results from people who've been exactly where you are.

The coaching was transformative. I successfully transitioned into an HR advisory role that provides the perfect blend of lifestyle freedom and deep professional meaning.
Adaora Emembolu – Fractional CHRO
Kendra is an absolute lifesaver. We had our first session just a week before I began a series of job interviews. She polished my professional communication and even empowered me to negotiate (and secure!) a higher salary. Remarkably, everything we discussed came up in my interview the very next day! Her coaching was really professional and made all the difference in reaching my career goals. Thank you for being a part of my success, Kendra!
Augusto Zilli – Architect
Most people think of editing as a communication skill. Working with Kendra taught me it's actually a business skill.

The problem

Why smart professionals get stuck.

Most accomplished professionals assume their experience will speak for itself. It rarely does.

Expertise alone is not enough.

In today's market, decision makers are evaluating leadership, influence, visibility, strategic thinking, and future value — not just your track record.

Conflicting advice creates confusion.

Professionals are overwhelmed by generic personal branding content, AI-generated messaging that sounds like everyone else, and advice that doesn't translate to their specific situation.

Time is the enemy of strategy.

Many know they should be networking more strategically. Many know they should be positioning themselves differently. Few have the time or clarity to determine what actually matters.

Positioning gaps hold you back.

That's where Executive Translation comes in. I identify the gaps holding you back and create a strategy designed to help you move forward faster.

What changes when you reposition

Described by job duties

Narrative stuck in the past

Applying on LinkedIn and never hearing back

Interviews sound like a manager

Salary ask feels like a negotiation

→

Defined by strategic impact

Narrative positioned for where you're going

Proactive networking brings opportunities and recruiters to you

Interviews sound like an executive

Salary ask sounds like a market rate

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions people ask before they leap.

Straight answers. No corporate spin. If something isn't clear, the free consultation is always there.

Executive Translation is a career repositioning and promotion coaching practice run by Kendra Weinisch. It is not a language translation service. Kendra helps senior experts and international leaders get promoted into leadership, inside their company or by moving to a bigger role. Most clients start with the two-week Clarity Sprint ($1,000).

No. Recruiters work for companies to fill open positions. I work for you. But I work closely with recruiters and understand exactly what they are looking for at the senior level. I do all the work recruiters wish candidates would do for themselves: identifying the right opportunities, crafting the scripts and templates that actually get responses, and building strategies that leapfrog you past the competition. I translate your experience into the language recruiters and hiring committees are already using to find their next executives.

No. As a professional who follows the ethical guidelines of the International Coaching Federation, I do not guarantee specific outcomes. Career advancement depends on many factors: market conditions, organizational politics, timing, and your own follow-through. What I do guarantee is my full investment in your repositioning, a proven methodology, and honest feedback about what is working and what is not. I guarantee the process, not the outcome.

I work with specialists: engineering and technical, data and AI, product, security, finance and FP&A, legal, compliance and risk, R&D and science, and healthcare operations. The pattern is the same in every function: the work is already next-level, and the language around it isn't yet.

That is exactly how most of my clients come to me. Everything is private. LinkedIn work is done strategically. You do not announce you are looking. The repositioning works quietly in the background, positioning you for the next level while you are still in your current role. Recruiters find you, not the other way around.
