Executive Interview Coaching

Executive interviews are distinctive in the way they evaluate executive candidates. As a result, executive interview coaching can be highly essential.

​

Executive interview coaching is varied and tailored to your needs. You’re already likely to be a confident communicator but you might have an important interview coming up or perhaps you’ve not had an interview for a while. Or you might have been the ‘runner-up’ in a couple of recent interviews and don’t know why you weren’t offered the role. 

​

Coaching is tailored to a specific job specification or typical role:

· Communicate your story and the value of your career

· Communicate your strengths and the leadership you can bring

· Demonstrate strategic thinking and your ability to manage complexity, risk, resistance and deliver through others

· Ability to tell examples which substantiate your thinking and move away from process driven answers

· Share insight into the role and the challenges the organisation faces

· Use your body language and voice to build rapport, presence and gravitas

 

Your communication skills can either enhance your career or hold you back. It can be as simple as the way you use your voice;  the speed, volume and pitch can enhance or reduce your impact as a leader.

​

Acing your executive interview entails a great deal of practice, preparation and confidence. You need to project both competence and confidence to inspire credibility from your interviewers.

Preparation is key. It is not enough to assume you know the right answers or that you have the right skills to carry the interview well. It is also not ideal to dredge up answers on the spot.

Take your planning one step further and practise.

Do your due diligence. Get well acquainted with the company. Read about the market trends and try to understand the company culture. Prepare to have solid, real-life examples demonstrating your business acumen and strategies as well as any that exhibits your ability to overcome challenges.

Executive interview preparation is vital if you want to deliver a win.
