If you’ve been considering a career move—whether it’s out of frustration, ambition, or timing—you’re not alone. And here’s the good news: now is a great time to get the wheels in motion.
Despite headlines filled with uncertainty—economic slowdowns, global elections, trade tensions—executive hiring is entering a busy period. As The Australian Financial Review recently reported, “senior executive demand remains high in key industries including infrastructure, healthcare, and financial services, as companies look for experienced leaders to navigate change and drive growth.”
That’s why I tell my clients: don’t wait for conditions to be perfect. If you want to make a career move, do it methodically. Do it now.
My 100-Day Methodology: Why Structure Beats Luck
Most jobseekers fail not because they’re underqualified, but because they don’t have a structured approach. I’ve worked with thousands of executives, and one thing is clear: if you’re not having enough meaningful meetings with decision-makers, you’re not going to get job offers.
So here’s how I approach it:
- 100 tailored approaches in 100 days.
- A system designed to secure meetings—with headhunters, search firms, and direct employers.
- Momentum and consistency, from first contact to final offer.
Think of this as a campaign. I help you position your brand, open doors, and stay on track until the right role presents itself. The goal isn’t just one interview—it’s creating competitive tension so you have options and can choose the right one.
You Can’t Rely on the Advertised Job Market
As noted in SmartCompany, “up to 80% of executive roles are never advertised.” They’re filled through trusted search firms, personal referrals, and proactive introductions.
If your strategy is centred on job boards or reactive applications, you’re operating with only a fraction of the opportunities available.
That’s why I recommend:
- Cultivating relationships with top-tier executive search consultants.
- Going direct to target companies and their leadership teams.
- Activating your network to unlock hidden opportunities.
The more structured and strategic you are, the more likely you are to secure the kind of role that truly fits your goals, values, and aspirations.

If you’re not happy where you are, don’t wait another six months hoping it will change. Make the decision to move—and then back yourself with a solid plan.
Sometimes the only way to get a genuine uplift in salary, flexibility, or career growth is to make a move. And it doesn’t have to be daunting. With the right strategy, the right support, and consistent execution, you’ll find a better employer, better conditions—and a better future.
