I want to begin this episode by saying how very proud I am. Of myself, for producing more than 350 episodes of content for my audience. For learning and growing as I prepared these episodes, which in turn helped my clients tremendously.

I’m also proud of you, listener, for choosing to consume my content rather than some other podcast (or in addition to). For choosing to improve your ability to interview, write a resume, get a promotion, manage your relationship with your boss. All the things.

Those of you who are on my mailing list know that my business, Exclusive Career Coaching, is becoming The Exclusive Career. This is the last episode of The Exclusive Career Coach podcast.

I’m moving from serving several clients at one time, with smaller engagements, to working with just a few clients every year in a 6-month coaching relationship.

My new package is called The Exclusive Career Accelerator (TECA), and it is designed for high-achieving mid- to later-career professionals who want to go all in on their careers.

They are currently employed but planning to make a move within the next 6-9 months. They need the usual things – resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, job search strategy, interview coaching, networking coaching, how to leverage LinkedIn, how to negotiate a salary.

They also get 5 hours of research support from me and my team – to help them formulate their Target Employer List and research those companies, to find key contacts at companies…whatever they need.

And I will make personal introductions to key networking contacts for each client.

Beyond that, they want to work on whatever may be holding them back professionally. Perhaps their boss has given them some feedback they want to work on, or they have self-identified an area they want to improve, or they want to take one of their emerging strengths to the next level and see it become a signature strength.

What kinds of things, you may ask?

-Managing your relationship with your boss

-Executive presence

-Communication skills

-Identifying, and leveraging, your personal brand

-Shifting your mindset around your boss’s or a colleague’s behavior

-Navigating corporate politics

-Self-confidence

-Setting yourself up for success

-Issues around managing a team

And so many more.

Accelerator clients will meet with me 3X/month for a total of 18 sessions, which does not include the sessions we will schedule to work on their marketing documents.

But I don’t leave them hanging after the six months is up. If they still haven’t landed their next role and are continuing to actively search, I will continue to support them for however long their search takes.

I’m confident in offering that because I know my program works – and clients won’t need those extra sessions.

Why am I doing this? Because increasingly, I’ve felt frustrated with the limitations of my existing coaching packages. I was only able to give each client a small piece of my zone of genius – and I wanted to change that. To work with fewer clients using a model that allows me to give them absolutely everything I have to offer.

There are other programs out there like this. Here’s what is different about my program: 1) it is 100% 1:1 coaching, customized to exactly what you need, when you need it; 2) your documents will be written by one of fewer than 25 Master Resume Writers in the world. Other companies that provide these kinds of services either outsource the writing to subcontractors, often with little to no experience, or have in-house writers who are paid very little for their efforts.

I’m going to be openly marketing the price tag for the Accelerator, so here it is: $12,000. If you paid upfront, I’m offering a $2K savings, bringing it to $10,000. I promise you, it’s worth every penny and more.

What about those of you who have worked with me in the past? As long as you’ve been a client of Exclusive Career Coaching at any time, you can continue to come to me for document refreshes and coaching. I will support you as long as I possibly can.

If you have never worked with me before and would like that opportunity before my previous document and coaching programs go away, schedule a consult soon. At some point this year – I don’t know exactly when – I will no long accept new clients for those services.

Specifically, if you think you would be best served with new documents and possibly a few coaching sessions, or just 2 interview coaching sessions, or just three coaching sessions, now is the time to do that before it goes away.

Let’s come full circle to this podcast. While I will no longer be dropping new episodes, I intend to keep the podcast up for the foreseeable future.

How will the new podcast be different? I will be speaking to a more senior audience. In the past, I’ve done episodes for recent college graduates, entrepreneurs, and other audiences; this podcast will strictly be focused on high-achieving mid-to-later career professionals who want to advance their career.

If that sounds like you, I hope you will hop over to the new pod today and subscribe or follow. I’ll also be asking you to rate and review!

If that doesn’t sound like you, there are more than 350 episodes of great content right – so keep listening!

If you want to remain connected to what I’m doing – especially if the new podcast isn’t for you – I recommend you visit exclusivecareercoaching.com and sign up for one of my Free Resources. That will get you on my mailing list so I can stay in touch with you.

It’s been an amazing, fantastic, awesome ride here on The Exclusive Career Coach podcast – and The Exclusive Career Coach will be just as great or even better! I couldn’t be more excited for this new adventure I’m embarking on.

And yes, I’m terrified. I have all the feels. And that’s exactly how I know I’m doing it right.
