Board & Advisory Transition

Boards don't hire the most qualified.
They hire the ones who know how to position themselves.

And at your level, you're smart enough to know when to save time, energy, and frustration by hiring an expert to help.

The research

The cost of waiting is measurable.

This is not a theory about the value of self-promotion. It is documented in the research on how executives actually advance.

Executives who resist reframing their identity take an average of 12-18 months longer to land their target role.

Translation is not a soft skill. It is a competitive advantage.

The problem

How smart executives waste time.

Most accomplished professionals assume their experience will speak for itself, their networks will keep them in mind for opportunities, and boards hire constantly.

Experience is not enough.

You need to translate that experience into the strategic, transferrable insight companies value and use modern marketing techniques to expand your visibility.

It takes time.

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.

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.

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.

All of them. Positioning is not industry-specific. Whether you are in tech, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, or non-profits, the dynamics are the same. You have value. The market needs to see it clearly. Narrative is what bridges that gap.

The Board & Advisory Transition package is $7,000. No hidden fees. No upsells. Just transparent pricing for high-value work.

That is exactly how most of my clients come to me. Everything is private. LinkedIn work is done strategically. However, most executives are able to openly serve on a board or as a strategic advisor while maintaining their current positions.
