Most executives do not struggle because of a lack of talent they struggle because they lack a proven process. I have spent three decades witnessing stellar executives stall for exactly that reason. The Executive Advantage Score gives you a clear, structured snapshot of your career readiness against my proven 14-step framework.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions
Answered.

The Executive Advantage Score

What is the Executive Advantage Score?
+
It is a free, 14-step career readiness diagnostic tool built on my proven framework for accessing the hidden job market. You rate yourself across 14 statements covering five stages of a successful executive career transition. Each score is weighted by importance and compiled into a total out of 200, giving you an honest, objective picture of where you stand and where to focus first.
How long does it take to complete?
+
About 4 minutes. There are 14 self-rating statements across 5 stages. You slide a bar from 0 (not at all true) to 10 (completely true) for each one. Your score, breakdown and key focus areas show up immediately on screen when you finish.
Is it really free?
+
Yes, completely free, no strings attached. I review every result personally and follow up directly. There is no obligation to engage in any paid advisory programme.
What happens after I submit my results?
+
Your results are sent to your email address and I am notified immediately. I review your score and key focus areas myself and typically follow up within 1 to 2 business days to talk through your results and whether advisory support would actually be useful to you.
Why do I need to use a personal email address?
+
Corporate email servers often block automated emails from external senders, so your results may not reach you if you use a work address. I would recommend a personal email (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo or similar) so your results land reliably.
How is my information used?
+
Only to send your results and let me follow up personally. I never share or sell it, and I will not add you to a marketing list without your consent.
What is a good score out of 200?
+
The bands are: 0 to 80 (Not yet visible), 81 to 130 (Emerging access), 131 to 170 (Active access), and 171 to 200 (Hidden market insider). Most people score 60 to 120 the first time, that is entirely normal. What matters is not the number itself, it is the specific steps where you are weakest, because that is where the highest-leverage work is. This reflects your current market visibility, not your capability. It is a starting point, not a verdict.

Results vary depending on your objectives, market conditions, and level of engagement. Most clients begin to gain greater clarity, confidence, and strategic focus within the first few sessions.
