Executive resume coaching with me turns your CV from a list of responsibilities into evidence of business impact. You get my template and I show you exactly what recruiters and hiring managers look for, then we shape your resume and LinkedIn so your value is obvious in seconds.
I'll be honest with you: your resume is rarely the starting point. If you're relying on online applications, even a brilliant resume is fighting hundreds of others. So we fix the document, then we fix how it reaches people.
For directors, VPs, C-suite and senior professionals.
They hire them because they improve profitability.
This is the mistake I see on almost every senior resume. "I managed a $100 million budget." "I led a team of 500." "I oversaw a global transformation." That's fine, but it's not why someone hires you.
One explains what you did. The other explains why it mattered. At senior level, business impact will always be more compelling than job responsibilities.
Each step sets up the next, so you're never polishing a CV for a role you shouldn't be chasing.
Which titles, industries and companies fit your experience and goals? Clarity is what makes every line of your resume relevant.
Read 5 to 10 job descriptions for the roles you want. You don't need AI for this. The language employers use, the problems they repeat and the results they ask for will jump out, and that's what your resume needs to speak to.
For every role, we answer the question a hiring manager is really asking: what got better because you were there? Revenue, cost, risk, efficiency, growth.
Hiring managers fear a bad hire more than they hope for a great one. We address the things that make you look risky, like gaps, industry moves or being overqualified, before they become objections.
Your resume, LinkedIn and outreach should tell the same story. Then we get it in front of decision-makers directly.
If 1,000 people apply for one role, nobody carefully ranks all 1,000. They start reviewing and stop once they've found someone good enough.
The best candidate might still be sitting at the bottom of the pile. That's why you can be perfectly qualified and still get "Unfortunately, we've decided to move forward with other candidates." It doesn't mean they were better than you. It means they were seen before you.
So once your resume is right, don't just upload it. Find the hiring manager and send three sentences:
Sentence one: why you're reaching out. Sentence two: why you're worth their time. Sentence three: a low-friction ask. Not "can I have a job".
Short. Specific. Confident. While everyone else is filling out application forms, you're on a call with the person who actually does the hiring.
Lucy helped me refine my positioning and coached me to approach every conversation with greater clarity and confidence than I did at the start of my search. I’ve just accepted an offer as Head of Business Value, a role that’s an excellent fit in every way.
The combination of her guidance and the weekly group calls was the turning point I desperately needed. My confidence grew. Interviews started coming in. Small wins turned into real momentum.
My biggest regret is that I didn’t start working with Lucy sooner. I found a role I wanted within 60 days of signing up with her.

When it's your experience, every detail feels important. You know the context and all the work behind it. The hiring manager doesn't need all of that. They need the parts that prove you're right for the job.
No. I coach you through it instead. You get my resume template, I show you exactly what needs to be in it, covering the six elements every senior resume needs, and I give you direct feedback as you build it. That way it sounds like you, and you can confidently talk to every line of it in an interview.
For most corporate roles they're the same document with a different name: CV is more common in the UK, resume in the US. The rules are the same. Make your value obvious to a human in seconds.
It's not usually the ATS rejecting you. There are still real people behind the scenes, using tools to speed up the process. The most reliable approach is to bypass it: an optimised LinkedIn profile, direct outreach to hiring managers and a visible personal brand.
Use it as a helper, not the author. An AI-polished resume tends to sound like everyone else's. Your strongest evidence and the way you describe your own impact are what make a hiring manager stop and read.
Business outcomes. Not the size of the budget you managed or the team you led, but what improved because of you: profitability, efficiency, growth, reduced risk. Lead with your strongest evidence and use the language of the roles you're targeting.
A strong resume gets you taken seriously. Getting it to the hiring manager gets you hired. Start with Job Search Unlocked, or apply to work with me in the Career Growth Accelerator.
