Stuck, Overlooked, or Ready for More?
Reposition Your Career. Realign Your Leadership.
Career Polish helps Senior Managers, Directors, VPs, and Executives get unstuck—whether that's getting promoted, landing a better role, or navigating a career transition with confidence.
Who We Help
If you're a Senior Manager, Director, VP, or Executive, the career advice out there wasn't designed for you.
"Network more." "Polish your resume." "Just apply to more jobs."
That's advice for people starting out—not leaders with 10-20+ years of experience navigating complex organizational politics, career pivots, and high-stakes transitions.
You need strategic clarity and positioning - whether you're:
→ Doing great work but feeling invisible to decision-makers
→ Actively searching but not getting traction
→ Deciding whether to stay or go
→ Ready for the next level but hitting a ceiling
→ Navigating new leadership, restructures, or career crises
That's exactly what we help with.
No one-size-fits-all advice. No templates.
We help you get clarity on where you're stuck, position yourself strategically, and make your next move with confidence - whether that's internal advancement or landing your next role.
