Whether you're 32 or 52, leadership opportunities are waiting for those who seek them.  It is possible to have it all (specifically, high-quality work/life balance, a fulfilling position, and competitive compensation).  Combining the right knowledge, mindset, and actions can put you on the right path to incredible things. 

​

It is absolutely okay to network with executive search firms.  Start by sending an introductory email--that's it.

​

For example,

​

“Hey there, VOLO.

I wanted to get on your radar. Currently, I lead an engineering team (10 direct reports; 144-member team) at [🛒🌮✈️🚗🚜 company], which is run by non-technical leaders even though we're a 'technology' company. I feel stuck.

Please find my resume attached. I'm curious about what new opportunities are out there.

Let's schedule a call if you have a client seeking someone with my background.

Best regards,
Mary

It’s that simple.
