Interview Coaching

Have you been invited for an interview? Are you in pursuit of a new opportunity, advancement, development planning, succession, talent management, or preparing for a ‘fire-side chat’? Some interviews will be structured and formal, others more casual or exploratory.

In each scenario you must answer three questions effectively:

Why do you want the opportunity?
What do you have to offer?
How will you make a difference?

You want to deliver on those three questions with authenticity, clarity, and confidence.

We work with you to develop your:

Compelling story to captivate your audience
Positioning statement, some call this your “personal brand”
Stories that illustrate the breadth, depth and complexity of your capabilities.

We practice custom designed Interview questions, review and practice again. The more prepared and self-aware you are, the higher the quality of your authentic, clear and confident presentation in the interview.
