    Clear Career Direction

    We identify the roles, organisations and working environments that make sense for your experience, strengths and future priorities.

    One Consistent Market Position

    Your resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter and professional story present the same direction, level and commercial value.

    Personally Written by Belinda

    I complete your career assessment, lead your strategy session and personally write your resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. Your work is never passed to a junior writer.

    Ready to Manage Your Own Search

    You leave with a clear professional position, market-ready documents and a debrief call. Coaching sessions can be added if you want support with applications, recruiter conversations or interview preparation.

    Why Strong Leaders Still Get Overlooked

    Experience Does Not Speak for Itself

    Most senior leaders do not have an experience problem. The problem is that the market cannot see their value quickly enough.

    Senior careers are rarely straightforward. Titles can understate the true scope of a role. Experience may span several functions, industries, organisations and markets. Years of commercial impact can become buried under responsibilities and operational detail.

    A recruiter or hiring leader should not have to piece together where you fit.

    The level at which you operate
    The scale and complexity you have managed
    The business problems you are trusted to solve
    The commercial outcomes you have produced
    The roles for which you should now be considered

    Gold brings this together before anything is written. Your documents are developed from a clear career and market strategy, rather than being updated separately.

    Your Resume Explains Your Roles but Not Your Value

    A long list of responsibilities tells the reader what your jobs involved. It does not show the decisions you made, the problems you solved or what changed because you were there.

    Your Resume and LinkedIn Profile Tell Different Stories

    If your resume points in one direction and your LinkedIn profile suggests another, recruiters are left to work out which version is accurate. That uncertainty can cost you the opportunity.

    Your Breadth Is Creating Confusion

    Experience across several functions, industries or leadership areas should be valuable. Without a clear position connecting it, that breadth can make your next direction harder to understand.

    You Are Being Assessed at the Wrong Level

    If your scale, influence and commercial contribution are not clear, the market may place you below your capability or consider you for the wrong types of roles.

    More Than a Resume

    The Documents Come After the Strategy

    Starting with the resume usually produces a better-written version of the same problem. Before I write anything, we need to decide what you want next, how the market should understand your experience and which evidence makes the strongest case for that direction.

    Gold brings your career analysis, positioning, resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter and debrief call together. Each part supports the same direction and presents your experience at the right level.

    From Career Strategy to Market-Ready Documents

    What Is Included in Gold Executive Positioning

    01

    Executive Career Evidence Questionnaire

    Before we meet, you complete a structured questionnaire covering your career history, leadership scope, key decisions, achievements, commercial outcomes and future priorities. This gives me the detail I need to understand what you have done, how you operate and where your experience carries the greatest value.

    02

    Executive Career and Market Assessment

    I assess your current career position, the roles you are considering and how well your existing materials support that direction. We identify where your value is being lost, what may be creating confusion and whether the market is likely to assess you at the correct level.

    03

    Executive Positioning Strategy Session

    We decide what you should be known for, which roles make sense and what evidence needs to lead your case. This strategy becomes the basis for your executive resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter and the way you speak about your experience with recruiters and hiring leaders.

    04

    Personally Written Executive Resume

    I personally write a new executive resume around the roles you want next. I do not simply edit the document you already have. Your resume will establish your level, scope and commercial value quickly. It will connect what you were responsible for with the decisions you made, the problems you solved and the outcomes you produced. Most executive resumes are three to four pages, depending on the length of your career and the complexity of your experience.

    05

    Targeted Cover Letter

    You receive a cover letter written for a specific role or agreed career direction. It connects your experience with what the organisation needs, adds context that may not sit naturally in the resume and gives the reader a clear reason to consider you.

    06

    LinkedIn Profile Optimisation

    Your LinkedIn profile is rewritten to support the same position as your resume. This includes your headline, About section and role content, along with the information recruiters use to understand your level, experience and suitability for relevant appointments. Your resume and LinkedIn profile should reinforce each other, not present two different versions of your career.

    07

    Debrief Call and Optional Coaching

    Gold includes a debrief call. If you want more support, you can add coaching sessions for $550 plus GST per 45-minute session. These can cover career direction and decision-making, recruiter conversations, your executive introduction, responding to market feedback, interview preparation, difficult or sensitive interview questions, communicating your value with stronger evidence, or addressing concerns that affect how you present yourself.

    One Person Holds the Full Context

    You Work Directly With Me From Start to Finish

    Your career history is too important to be assessed by one person, written by another and coached by someone who was not part of the original strategy.

    I personally review your experience, lead your strategy session, write your resume, develop your LinkedIn profile and lead your debrief call. By the time I begin writing, I understand the roles you are considering, the evidence supporting that direction and the questions a recruiter or hiring leader may raise.

    • Career assessment completed personally by me
    • Positioning strategy developed with me
    • Resume personally written by me
    • LinkedIn profile personally written by me
    • Cover letter personally written by me
    • Support connected to the original strategy
    • No junior writers or account managers

    Nothing is lost between the strategy, the writing and any coaching you add, because I remain responsible for the complete body of work.

    One Professional Position Across Every Channel

    Every Part of Your Market Position Works Together

    Executive Resume

    A commercially grounded executive resume that makes your level, leadership scope and business impact clear. It gives the right weight to the mandates you have held, the decisions you have influenced and the outcomes you have produced.

    LinkedIn Profile

    A clear LinkedIn profile that supports the same direction as your resume and helps recruiters and hiring leaders understand where you fit. Your headline, About section and career history work together rather than reading like separate pieces of information.

    Targeted Cover Letter

    A focused letter that connects your experience with the needs of a specific role or organisation. It adds context, addresses the brief and gives the reader a clear reason to consider you.

    Executive Positioning Strategy

    A clear direction and professional case that you can carry into applications, recruiter discussions, networking conversations and interviews. You will understand what should lead your story, which evidence supports it and how to explain the move you want to make.

    Debrief Call

    A debrief call is included. If you want more support, you can add coaching sessions for $550 plus GST per 45-minute session to put the strategy into practice and prepare for the career conversations that matter most.

    Is Gold the Right Level of Support?

    Gold Is for Senior Leaders Who Want the Foundation and Will Manage the Search Themselves

    Gold is likely to be the right fit if:

    • You broadly know what you want next
    • Your resume no longer reflects the level at which you operate
    • Your LinkedIn profile does not support the direction you are pursuing
    • Your experience spans several roles, functions, industries or markets
    • Your job title understates your actual responsibilities and influence
    • You have spent a long period with one organisation
    • You are returning to the market after redundancy or a career break
    • You are preparing quietly for a future move
    • You are comfortable managing your own applications and recruiter relationships
    • You want clear positioning, professionally written documents and strategic guidance without ongoing search support

    Gold is designed for:

    CEOs, Managing Directors, General Managers, CFOs, COOs, Executive Directors, functional leaders and senior commercial professionals across Australia and New Zealand.

    If you want direct support across applications, interviews, offers and negotiations, Platinum Executive Career Transition will be the more appropriate option. It runs for six months from when your documents are ready, then month by month if you need longer.

    Investment

    Gold Executive Positioning

    Your exact investment reflects the length and complexity of your career history, the direction you are pursuing and the work required to position your experience properly. I confirm the full scope and investment after the Clarity Session, so you know exactly what is included before deciding whether to proceed.

    Gold includes:

    • Executive Career Evidence Questionnaire
    • Executive Career and Market Assessment
    • Executive Positioning Strategy Session
    • Personally written executive resume
    • Targeted cover letter
    • LinkedIn profile optimisation
    • Debrief call
    Choose the Right Level of Support

    How Much Support Do You Want After the Documents Are Complete?

    Gold and Platinum both begin with detailed career analysis, a clear positioning strategy and professionally written executive documents. The difference is the level of involvement you want once the positioning work is complete and you begin taking it to market.

    Gold Executive Positioning

    Gold is for senior leaders who broadly know what they want next and are comfortable managing their own applications, recruiter relationships, interviews and wider search.

    You receive the strategy, documents and debrief call needed to present your experience clearly and compete at the right level.

    Gold builds your executive market position. You take it to market.

    Platinum Executive Career Transition

    Platinum is for senior executives who want me actively involved throughout the search.

    I remain involved when a serious opportunity appears, helping you assess the role, prepare the application, research and prepare for interviews, evaluate the offer and approach the negotiation.

    Platinum builds your position and applies it across every serious opportunity during a six-month partnership.
