You've Left Corporate. Now What?
You took the leap... or the leap was taken for you. Either way, you're out. And the questions are stacking up.
Where do the opportunities actually come from? How do you position yourself when you're no longer "Head of X at Y Company"? What should you charge? How do you avoid the trap of doing unpaid advisory work just to "get your foot in the door"?
The first few months after leaving corporate are the most dangerous. Not because the opportunities don't exist... but because without a system, you'll burn through time, confidence and savings without getting anywhere.
The Problem Isn't Your Experience. It's Your Approach.
You have decades of leadership experience. That’s not in question. The problem is that the skills that made you successful in corporate... internal politics, organisational knowledge, being known within a structure... don’t translate directly to finding and landing board roles with SMEs.
The SME market is a hidden market. No job boards. No formal applications. No recruitment agencies working this space effectively. The opportunities are real, but they’re accessed through positioning, proactive outreach and the right conversations.
That’s a system problem. And system problems have system solutions.
A Clear Path... Not Another Networking Coffee
You don't need more networking events, another coffee catch-up or a vague plan to 'put yourself out there.' You need five specific things in place before your portfolio career gains any real traction:
Positioning that works
A target list
An outreach system
Pricing confidence
Accountability
