Happy Landing (in less than 90 days)


In this Chairman’s Blog we like to share both general information such as statistics to help career changers understand what they are facing but also anecdotal evidence of individual’s challenges and successes. Happy Landing.

Today let’s talk about Rossalyn—definitely one of the latter. 

Rossalyn became our client in June 2019.  Here’s what her TBG Senior Career Consultant had to say about her at the time:

Rossalyn has been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years. She is currently the COO of a regional restaurant chain. Rossalyn has seen her responsibilities diminish over the last 2 years. At one point she had responsibilities across multiple functions reporting to the CEO. More recently others have been promoted to positions where she once had responsibility and they now report directly to the CEO, not to her as they previously had. Rossalyn would like to find a position in the industry similar to that she held 2 years ago. She is also open to other options probably in the industry. She is looking forward to the TBG Clarity Program© to help her understand how else her experience fits in.

Rossalyn went through our Targeting stage (the Clarity Program©), rating the entire experience “Excellent” by the way, in one week (we let the clients drive the timeline)!

She has a predominantly “High D” (Dominance) behavioral tendency (as do many of our clients) from a DISC perspective, so she is driven and demands a lot of herself and of others.

Here is an excerpt from her Personal Strategic Plan (the last step in our Clarity Program©):

VISION:

Working in a growth and development environment with a link to giving back / social responsibility 

MISSION:

Research on different concepts, overall concept strategy and then extensive work on connections and investigation regarding culture and values of the organization 

PURPOSE:

To teach, inspire and elevate the people with whom I work 

GOAL 1:

Make $250K Base Salary (Financial Stability) 

GOAL 2:

Role where she can learn & develop (not worried that much about a title) 

GOAL 3:

Being able to give back

Her Clarity Coach rated her as highly motivated and expected her to follow through on her assignments as she progressed through the following Career Change steps (Packaging, Market Access, Preparation, and On-boarding).

Her Career Consultant also obviously was no slacker either because in less than 90 days our Chief Consulting Officer proudly announced the results in his recent email:

Our client Rossalyn landed in less than 90 days… Paula [her Career Consultant] and Rossalyn did some amazing work to make this happen. She said that she would be willing to take an offer with a salary as low as $125,000 but she ended up with over $300K total comp with a $200K base. 

Happy Landing, Rossalyn! Now this hardly happens every day, but it does illustrate the effectiveness of our Career Change process, particularly when the client follows the process and demonstrates real drive.  In fact, clients who follow the process are currently landing in about six months on average.  As our Chief Consulting Officer went on to say about the under 90 days…

Does not happen often, but it is sweet when it does. 

Regardless of your state of play, if you feel you are not earning the satisfaction you deserve from your job you might want to give us a call.  Without a doubt, we can help you step on the gas professionally.
