Senior Executive Career Transition
Your Services
Your Senior Executive Career Transition Services combine one-on-one coaching/consulting from a highly qualified peer-lev-
el consultant with outstanding training and technology, a 25-year network of industry contacts, and executive support ser-
vices to assist you during your transition. Whether you are considering re-employment, self-employment/entrepreneurial
ventures, consulting or retirement, our goal is to help you identify and take your next career step with speed, confidence,
and a sense of control.

Our Approach
Your Senior Executive Career Transition Services are tailored to your situation. You won’t be spending your time in a
classroom. You will work one-on-one with your senior consultant to personalize your approach. Based on your personal and
professional goals, you will typically follow one of three paths:

• Re-employment - Our contemporary model, comprised of six milestones, is flexible and will provide a comprehensive
foundation to your search process.
• Self-employment, entrepreneurial ventures, or franchising – If it is time for you to build your own future, we can
guide you through the planning and start-up phases.
• Retirement – If you are considering retirement, but want to ensure it is a meaningful and fulfilling process, our pro-
prietary New Horizons program can provide direction to your future.

Regardless of the path you follow, you will develop a better understanding of the transition process and how best to
achieve your personal and professional goals. Features available to you include:

• Unlimited one-on-one coaching and consulting

• Access to PowerMyCareer online career portal
• Access to exclusive Waldron Career Network LinkedIn group
• Weekly networking roundtables
• Life-partner counsel and integration into transition, if appropriate
• Access to scheduled private office, office equipment and supplies

Benefits to You
By participating in your personally tailored Senior Executive Career Transition Program, you will maximize your
opportunities and minimize wasted energy. Utilizing our individualized, and complete approach, you can:
• Experience a proactive, positive frame of mind
• Reduce your transition time
• Enhance skills for managing personal and professional change and transition
• Maintain your utmost personal integrity and dignity
• Achieve a highly suitable professional fit to match your skills and interests
• Refine and enhance lifelong career management skills
• Perfect the practice of managing your personal and professional network
• Leverage technology and social media to expand your career

What’s Next
When you hear you will be in a career transition, your natural reactions can include a wide range of feelings and emotions.
These emotions are normal.

• Take time to plan your strategy. Think about your public statement and how you want to position yourself for your next
role.
• Do not overreact. While this may not be the time to buy a new boat, it is also not the time to ration toothpaste, cancel
cable, or pull your child out of day care.
• Avoid rushing out and telling everyone you need a job. Don’t update your social media profiles (LinkedIn, Facebook).
Wait until you are prepared and clear in your objectives, messages, and how others can help.
• Find balance between job search and other activities. You’ll be more efficient at both.
