During times of economic uncertainty or a recession companies are
gonna be more cautious in terms of their hiring, their spending and
activities related to money because they wanna make sure that they can
be sustainable, survive through potential crashes or survive through
potential storms that may be along horizon.
And the whole goal is to be able to survive past those storms, but
more importantly, to become profitable, to remain profitable in the
end that they can sustain their practices, sustain their businesses in
the long term.
So if you're somebody who is looking for an executive position and it
is during a time of economic uncertainty or recession, what I wanna do
is share with you in this video, some ways that you can be able to
have and find those executive positions.
So we're gonna have a fire chat conversation here, and it's gonna be a
very intimate and close conversation that I'm gonna have with you,
because what I'm gonna be doing is giving you some executive coaching
advice.
And this is by the way, the same advice that I give to my coaching
clients, my executive coaching clients.
Now, because of the nature of a YouTube video, I may not be able to
get into the details of how to do this, but I am going to be able to
share the high level of what to do, right?
So here's what it looks like when it comes to finding an executive
position during economic uncertainty or recession.
The key is to realize it's not about finding a position because I
mentioned before, companies are going to be cautious.
They're gonna be cautious about hiring and spending expenditures as
well.
And hiring is an expenditure because there's a lot that goes into
hiring.
There's the job posting.
There is the hiring onboarding.
There is the person's new person's salary as well.
So then it's not, it may not be conducive and productive for you to
look for postings for executive positions during times like this.
Instead, it's not about finding them.
It's about creating alignment for them.
So alignment means to understand from the company potential companies
that you may want to work with or work into the key is to understand
what is their market-centric mission, the market-centric mission,
where are they going?
What's their destination, and what's their progress towards that
destination and what are their major bottleneck challenges and
problems that are standing in the way of making that progress?
And the key is when you do understand these key areas that I just
listed the key is to understand what are the challenges and problems
that you are most inspired to work with?
Because the key is you are going to be an executive.
You're an you're in aspiring executive, and it's due time that instead
of letting the job postings choose and dictate your career path, it's
due time that you make a design and design that masterful destiny.
What does that look like?
What are the problems and challenges you want to choose to have in
your career path that you want to be working with on a daily basis
that are inspiring to you that are truly aligned with who you are and
the values that you truly have.
So once you have that, that creates the internal alignment for
yourself.
Then the next step is to be able to articulate how that creates
alignment for the individuals, in which that are going to have
authority and decision making authority to hire you as an executive.
Now, before I continue on words on how to create the external
environment, the intrinsic environment is so important to be aligned
within yourself, that these are the problems, and these are the
challenges I, that I am willing and able to solve for a particular
company.
And the reason why is because if you will choose the problems and
challenges you want to dedicate your career path to this is gonna be
your path, your most inspired career path.
The reason why is because if it is in alignment with who you are and
your values, you're going to be focused, you're gonna be disciplined
and you will increase your probability of achieving it, of being able
to solve those problems.
Where however, the opposite is true.
If you are letting the marketplace, if you're letting job postings, if
you're letting external circumstances and situations dictate to you,
what problems and challenges that you're gonna be solving in your
career path, you're gonna be the opposite.
You're gonna be less inspired, less focused, less disciplined, and
therefore less optimized at achieving that outcome.
So that's always the first step is, is creating that intrinsic
alignment.
Then once the intrinsic alignment is established, now it's about
creating the extrinsic alignment, the alignment with those decision
making, with individuals, with decision making authority.
So when you're in front of them, this is about how do, how can you
articulate what is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Why that problem and why now that's really important.
Why the problem and why now?
So this is now building a business case on this particular challenge,
this particular issue right now, especially during economic
uncertainty and or recession, because they're cautious, they're more
cautious.
So they gotta understand why now, why that problem, what is the
business case?
Being sensitive to the fact that their consciousness is sound given
the economic uncertainties.
So when you are able to articulate that very clearly, now you're gonna
get them to be connected to this problem as it, as it stands to how
it's gonna help them to achieve what they're dedicated to in their
business.
But more importantly, this is about juxtaposing, how the, your
proposal to a solution is gonna help them to fulfill what's most
important to them.
Now, this is, this is also important when you're articulating your
proposal to a solution, it's important to be able to articulate it in
terms of what they value most in terms of what is most important to
them, the person who has a decision making authority, and when you're
articulating the solution, keep in mind that you have your own
intellectual property.
You don't wanna give away it all away, cuz otherwise, why would they
need you?
So when you're articulating your solutions, it's important that you
reflect on it and share the what but not the how, what are you going
to do?
What are the steps?
What are the strategies to solve that particular bottleneck challenge
or problem?
What are they?
And therefore, in order to help them with the how the implementation,
the execution, this is where they need to bring you on board.
So these are the steps and the onus and the responsibility is on you
to create the internal and the external alignment.
Both those alignments are your responsibility.
And the other tip in terms of articulating your solution is to be able
to demonstrate through your articulation, through your narrative, to
be able to demonstrate how solving the problem, dedicating your career
path, to solving the problem is going to help you achieve your own
dreams and goals, both personally and professionally.
And the reason why this is important is because they wanna know that
you're enthusiastic.
They wanna know that they're gonna bring on someone who's serious and
not just curious about working for them.
They wanna know that they're going to bring on an executive who is
committed, who is committed and not just interested.
There is a difference.
There's a difference between being interested in working for your
company and being committed in working for your company.
And when they're hiring, especially in an economic uncertainties, they
wanna have a little bit more certainty in who they're bringing on,
especially if they're cautious around hiring.
So being able to have the skills to articulate this aspect is gonna be
really important, cuz that's how you demonstrate your commitment and
your seriousness, not just being interested and not just being
curious.
Cause being curious and interested doesn't necessarily mean you're
committed, right?
And finally, once you have articulated all of these steps and built
your narrative, also being able to create the intrinsic and extrinsic
alignment.
Finally, when you close the conversation, that particular interaction
close with a call to action.
A call to action is nothing more than being able to tell them, share
with them what exactly do you want them to do as a result of this
interaction right after this interaction is over, what exactly do you
want them to do?
Now, let me give you an example of a call to action.
And this is gonna create, it's gonna be a double.
It's gonna have a double meaning here.
So here's an example of a call to action.
For example, now you have learned the steps in which how you can find
an executive position by creating alignment, intrinsically and
extrinsically I've also shared with you the tips on how to juxtapose
your own personal and your professional goals and dreams to create a
business case, a very strong business case to the people with decision
making authority.
So I've told you what to do, but if you're somebody who's serious
about creating this for yourself and having this skill set, to be able
to communicate it effectively and get that buy-in so that you can get
hired as an executive.
