Create Executive Opportunities Before They’re Posted.
Early in your career, opportunities found you.
​
You did good work. People noticed. Recruiters called.
​
At the executive level, that model breaks down.
​
Today, most senior roles never start as job postings. They start as problems—missed targets, stalled decisions, expansion risk, leadership gaps—long before anyone writes a job description.
​
If you wait for those roles to be posted, you’re already late.
​
Become Your Own Headhunter is built around this reality. It teaches you how to surface opportunities earlier—by aligning your experience to real business pain and engaging decision-makers with context, not a résumé.
