Transforming a Mid-Level Manager into a Senior Leadership Candidate Client Background:

- Role: Mid-Level Operations Manager
- Industry: Manufacturing
- Experience: I had 10 years of experience managing operational teams but struggled to move into senior leadership roles.
Challenges:
- John had a strong operational background but was having difficulty translating his day-to-day responsibilities into leadership achievements that would appeal to senior management positions.
- His resume was focused on duties rather than accomplishments, and it lacked a clear narrative showing his potential for senior leadership.

- Personal Branding Statement: Crafted a personal branding statement that positioned John as a transformational leader with a focus on efficiency and team development: "Transformational Operations Leader with a decade of experience driving operational excellence, reducing costs, and cultivating high-performing teams in the manufacturing industry."
- Accomplishment-Oriented Statements: Worked with John to identify key accomplishments that demonstrated his leadership potential, such as leading a team to reduce operational costs by 20% while maintaining production quality.
- Leadership Emphasis: Reframed his experience to emphasize strategic decision-making, team leadership, and his role in company-wide initiatives, moving away from just listing operational tasks.
Results:
- John’s new resume highlighted his leadership capabilities, showcasing his ability to drive change and deliver measurable results.
- Within two months of sending out his revised resume, John received multiple interview requests for senior leadership roles and eventually secured a position as a Senior Operations Director at a leading manufacturing firm, with a 30% increase in salary.
