About Exec Jumpstart

Group and Individual Coaching…Customized to Your Needs
Exec Jumpstart is an immersive experience that provides space for past, present, or future executive leaders to design their future life and leadership vision and create a plan to achieve that vision. Whether it is our one-day Exec Jumpstart retreat or our six-month Exec Jumpstart Journey, you will engage in exercises, assessments, and group discussions that follow our Exec Jumpstart 5A framework © .

What can I expect from Exec Jumpstart?

Exec Jumpstart offers a proven, customizable executive development experience designed to accelerate meaningful, sustainable change. This program is ideal for individuals at a career crossroads, whatever that means for them. They may be ready for a significant role change, need help figuring out what’s next, interested in continuing to rise in the organization, explore a new opportunity, or create a transition plan for retirement.

    • Articulate your ideal future with PURPOSE and CLARITY

    • Engage in conversations to ALIGN GOALS AND INTERESTS

    • SHIFT LIMITING MINDSETS that are getting in your way

    • Execute a strategy and create NEW SUSTAINABLE HABITS

    • Expand your network and maintain a SUPPORT SYSTEM

    • Safe, confidential space to explore your vision/values and a path toward attaining them.

    • Clarification of who you want to be as a leader and enhanced leadership skills.

    • Enhanced ownership of your leadership legacy and how you want to expand your impact within or outside your current organization.

    • Individual coaching with a 25+ year experienced executive coach

    • Baby Boomer senior leaders are retiring at a rapid pace. When these leaders are provided a supportive, safe space to explore, they are more likely to leave the organization in a better place and pass along their expertise. Exec Jumpstart helps them get clear on what they want in their career, how to communicate that to the organization, and plan for a transition that is best for them, their teams, and the organization.

    • In our VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world, it is common for top talent leaders to be on the fence about whether to remain on succession plans for C-level roles. Often, those identified as successors are unclear if they aspire to or are committed to that future role. Exec Jumpstart enables them to explore career options and gain clarity on their future aspirations, so they can communicate their interests openly to all.

    • As a complement to a retirement package, this program provides a confidential, supportive and positive environment to help leaders make a smooth transition to what’s next. It also increases their motivation and ability to transfer their important knowledge and skills to the team and organization.

Who will Exec Jumpstart benefit?

Exec Jumpstart is for mature executives (VP and above) with 25+ years of professional experience from nonprofits to Fortune 100 organizations.
