Executive and leadership transition

Leadership departures require special attention because of the visibility they attract and the potential legal and brand risk posed to an organization.

We understand the challenges your organization and departing leaders face during a transition and draw upon the experience we gained from working with thousands of senior leaders across Canada. We have the expertise to guide you through change to a positive outcome for both parties.

Our executive career transition service is a high-touch, personalized approach that addresses the entire executive transition process from start to finish. In addition to 12-month access to the Thrive Career Wellness Platform, our solution includes market messaging, leadership assessment and development, dedicated executive advisory support, social media expertise, networking introductions, executive-only seminars and networking groups, financial counsel and spousal support.

Private client career transition

Managing your career is challenging, especially when you find yourself at a crossroads or have recently left an organization. Career transition services provide you with support and guidance to help you develop and execute a plan to fulfill your career goals.

Our private client service is designed for individuals in career transition who do not have financial support from their former or current employer.

The benefits of using career transition services include faster transition periods, access to "hidden" job opportunities and networking opportunities that are fueled by the Thrive Career Wellness Platform.
