CWC is an incredible resource. My coach is uniquely capable of surveying a difficult situation and creating a plan of action for success. During my roles as a senior executive, my coach supported my transition from profit to non-profit explorations and back to corporate and then as CEO and COO of two vastly different manufacturing companies. She helped me to see the toolkit I had at my disposal and the gaps so that I could take on new challenges. Their program is a game-changer for anyone leading through difficult times.
Our View On The First-Time C-Suite Experience
It takes hard work and determination to make it to the senior leadership table. You feel like you’ve seen it all and have the battle scars to prove it. Life at the top is significantly more complex than anything you’ve experienced up to this point. The stakes are higher, your inner circle gets smaller, the decisions you make carry more weight, and everyone is counting on you to deliver big results for the company.
Thriving at this level requires you to successfully operate in unfamiliar territory. There are moves you can make to shorten the learning curve and accelerate your impact.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I worked with CWC at a key inflection point in my career when I needed to be strategic and clear-eyed about choosing my next opportunity. Their coaching modules provided an ideal mix of structure and self-paced guidance that helped make my story compelling to hiring managers. My coach excelled at both long-term thinking as well as tactical intermediate planning that made those goals realistic. I especially recommend them if your background or goals are non-traditional, and you value customization.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently had the opportunity to work with CWC. My military career spanned 22 years in Special Forces, and I was transitioning to the civilian sector. Transitioning after several decades in the military is extremely stressful, and a level of stress that I previously did not know how to process. My coach’s knowledge and expertise went above and beyond what I expected. The level of executive guidance and down-to-earth advice was, frankly, invaluable. She provided a comprehensible framework that gave me clarity and focus on my future goals. My coach is a motivating optimist and is the teammate to have during your next career progression.
Earning a seat at the senior leadership table is much easier than keeping it.
Are these mistakes hurting the epic results everyone is counting on?

Taking too long to adjust to the new political and operational norms.

What People Are Saying . . .
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
CWC and I became acquainted when I was hired into a very senior position relative to my experience level. My coach was able to help me navigate a complex corporate landscape and hone my change agent skills in a new organization. This helped me to grow and succeed in a challenging role. I always appreciate her no-nonsense style and focus on results. I am happy to have her as a friend and colleague to this day.
