It’s Time to Get Your
Career on Track Today!

I have been a client of Steve’s since October 2021. He is an insightful coach and pragmatic connector who actively seeks ways to leverage his own (extensive) network to help his clients. He finds relatable ways to help you ask and address the tough questions that will ultimately result in you achieving your career ambition. It’s a pleasure to recommend Steve and Executive Connexions.

“I thoroughly enjoyed engaging with Executive Connexions during a period where I was seeking to leverage my profile having previously worked within a very tight-knit network. My coach had excellent insight and is prepared to provide honest and focused feedback which is results driven.”

With 20+ years of experience and after spending almost 10 years in my last job I was at a crossroads on the next move. I was looking for an expert who could guide me in the entire process. Working with Executive Connexions was the best decision I took in this direction. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Steve to open new doors in your journey.

“I engaged with Executive Connexions after working for the same Company in the same sector for many years. The prospect of considering a career in another sector was somewhat daunting. The coaching processes helped me to understand the market and how to approach it. I have been fortunate enough to land a new role. In my coach, I appreciated having an impartial sounding board and a knowledgeable ear. I have found the overall experience very positive.”

I found Executive Connexions easy to work with, and although my engagement was relatively brief, I have already started to get in touch with recruiters and so far getting good feedback on my remodelled CV and LinkedIn profile. Opportunities are already starting to surface and the screening interviews have gone well, in large part due to the interview preparation work I did with my coach.

“I chose to work with Steve and his team in order to help me scope out and execute my next executive role. I found their service invaluable, firstly as a sounding board for ideas I already had, and subsequently with the structure and focus they helped me create for my search. The honest and helpful feedback on CV, interview practice and more generally regarding personal branding will have ongoing value to me in the future”

I just wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation to you for the work you did with me in preparing for my interview. My coach was very natural and genuine. Not only did he have extensive knowledge and experience in the field of interview coaching, but he cared about each of his clients. He gave me 110% of his time and focus during our sessions. Overall, very good investment in my career.

Before I started to work with Executive Connexions, I successfully worked as CFO and CEO in a small stock-listed distribution company (sales: €36M) in Singapore for five years. As the main shareholder decided to change the strategic direction and my term was not renewed, he offered me another role in which I could contribute my financial skills.

It was a major decision to take on a career coach, but one which has changed the direction of my career for the better. Executive Connexions helps you find what is missing in your current work and together you work to find a path to get to the place where you want to be. My coach had a wide range of experiences; he was easy to connect with and speak to during the journey he took me on.

What did I get from engaging with executive Connexions? Calm, experienced coaching support - listening and helping me to better understand what I was looking for. Guidance over CV writing and LinkedIn profile and activity, both of which made a big impact on my job search. Interview preparation support, with all of the difficult questions coming from Ric ahead of time so I was prepared and had answers ready when I was asked them in real life!

  “Executive Connexions has provided outplacement services for several of our employees. We found the team to be very helpful and adaptable in their approach which they tailored to the changing circumstances facing those leaving the business. They helped all of our employees to focus on the task of finding a new role, and have had a 100% success rate which is very satisfying for everyone.”

“Wanted to drop you a short note of thanks for the insight and tips that have enabled me to formulate a more structured and disciplined approach to my on-line / social media activities. It has built confidence and made me a more all-round and at the same time discerning consumer and contributor. I also think that my channel selection and usage has become more effective.”

“I had no idea why I was not successful at interviews. The help and support for my interview preparation I received from them was invaluable. I am happy to say I have secured a new role, and If I had not hired Executive Connexions, I might not have been successful. To be successful, you should seek the best career advisers out there and Executive Connexions are the right choice.”

“I got practical advice, improved my CV, LinkedIn profile, built and better engaged my network, and got constructive interview feedback. All of this will continue to be of value and help me be in a stronger position for my next career step. My coach was warm and open and made me feel at ease throughout our interactions. I now know more about what I need from this type of relationship in the future.”

“If you want to take your networking skills to the next level, Executive Connexions is your career coaching company. They know the executive job market, understand what it takes to work it and are great teachers. Steve himself is also a natural people connector — I not only made new professional connections, I made new friends.”

Executive Connexions came highly recommended through a colleague. My coaches helped me improve my personal brand through networking and self-marketing, including written and verbal contexts, with lots of job interview practice. I would suggest that you speak to them to investigate the next stage of your career plan but I would add that you need to be focused and immerse yourself in their rigorous coaching processes to achieve success!

“My career is my biggest asset; the right selection of a career coach was one of my most important decisions. Executive Connexions have been invaluable in providing career coaching to me. Very quickly, my coach was able to understand my career aspirations and my coaching needs. A very relaxed and thought-provoking coaching style brings a change. I can recommend Executive Connexions to anyone passionate about growing their career to the senior level of leadership.”

Although my redundancy had been anticipated for a long time, I was determined to use it as a chance to launch a new career. I secured support for career coaching and the “Be Found” program as part of my redundancy settlement. Delays to the redundancy process also meant that I had 6 month’s notice, which having been continually employed for over 30 years was a very new experience, and at times very unsettling.

Working with Executive Connexions helped identify the weaknesses and strengths in my approach to the hidden job market. It made me consider what I really wanted to do in my career. As a result, I’ve been wider in my search, achieving a role outside my usual sector. I recommend Executive Connexions to senior executives who are facing a crossroads in their career path.

“Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the daily ‘Be Found’ updates. I have found these updates extremely useful and I’m already starting to increase my social presence – in fact I have a live opportunity as a result. I’ll endeavour to continue the program on an ongoing basis!”

“My coach had a lot of empathy and really cared about his clients. A very genuine person and very approachable. He was always available outside the Skype sessions if I needed his input on something. He is a good sounding board, without being a yes person and he is “on your side”. I think he will always do very well with female clients – he is very gender-neutral. And perhaps also with Non-Brits.”

I first spoke with Executive Connexions when I realized that changes may be happening at my company. After speaking with Steve, I then started working with my consultant who helped me find the right approach to moving my career. The key elements from which I benefited from the program were; creating a good CV, networking, interview practice, and self-presentation. If you’re thinking of coaching to help your career then speak to Executive Connexions!

Executive Connexions is more than a service that helps you find your next job. They were successful in doing this, but what I learned from the service was more valuable than this. The methods actually teach you how to be more relevant in today’s digital world. Now that I have landed the job I hoped for, I look forward to working with them as executive coaches. I highly recommend their service.

I felt empowered when being coached. The coach quickly learned what my strengths were. Thanks to their patience, my CV and cover letter look much better than before, and I was able to get way more job interviews. During the mock interview sessions, they advised me on every single answer. I would recommend coaching to anyone who seeks to improve their job-hunting journey. With Executive Connexions help, you are in good hands!

I invested in career coaching at Executive Connexions after facing numerous rejections. Steve and his team were a game-changer for me. The insights and techniques I gained led to invitations for interviews in a remarkably short time to JLR and Rolls-Royce. I'm deeply grateful for the guidance and support that has reignited my career prospects.

After 11 years in a great organisation looking for a new role was always going to be a challenge and a steep learning curve. Steve and the wider network at Executive Connexions were a huge help. The early work was critical, reflecting on the skills and experiences learned and equally working through what I could offer and what I might look for – before dashing off a CV or leaping into applications. I have been fortunate to have a great network and expert support from Executive Connexions, and fortunate too to find a perfect new role.

Working with Executive Connexions has been a game-changer for my career. Their tailored coaching approach helped me gain clarity on my goals and provided me with the strategies and confidence to take my career to the next level. The team's expertise, combined with their genuine support, made all the difference. I highly recommend their services to anyone serious about making a positive career move.
