Services

AGM offers services that help you build a robust career strategy and enable you to differentiate yourself in a crowded market.
We facilitate introductions to our extensive network and, once you are in a new role, we can provide support during those vital first few months.

Our success is built on our relationships with Headhunters, Corporate Leaders and our own Alumni, most of whom are in senior and influential roles. But we are more than just a conduit to the right people. By helping you to evaluate your career to date and develop a clear plan for moving forward, we greatly increase the chance of you securing your ideal position. We have facilitated the career enhancement of top executives around the world.

Career Transition

Career Transisition

Our career consultants work with you, using a structured and thorough process, to identify the key patterns in your career to date, understand your style and value proposition and help you set your future career goals. Finally you are coached in interview techniques to ensure your effectiveness which is confirmed with a video practice before launching you into the market.

Career Transition

Whilst some of our clients have a very clear idea of where they want to go next, many have less well defined plans. We help you to look at both your career and life in perspective, and understand more clearly what it is you really enjoy doing, your ambitions and what values you hold.

Using a combination of proven and trusted approaches we provide the means for you to examine your career successes – and low points – and use these to build a picture of your ideal future path and the strategy needed to achieve it.

We then help you to create a marketing plan, from CV building and interview practice, through to targeted communications within our extensive network.

With such thorough preparation, our clients approach interviews in a far stronger position than the competition – our tailored approach enables them to fulfil their true potential.

The First 100 Days

The First 100 Days

Our job does not end once you have secured a new position - the first three months are vital to maximise success in your new role. The spotlight will be on you to make a difference and deliver demonstrable value in a very short space of time.

The First 100 Days

An AGM executive coach will work with you to plan for the first 100 days - how to avoid being pulled into operational detail and instead ensure you receive strategic impact and create value that your new employer and fellow senior executives will quickly recognise.

Your plan includes access to AGM's extensive research capability, providing you with a thorough understanding of the organisation as well as guidance when approaching your new board, stakeholders and team.

Your coach is an independent sounding board for your ideas and can challenge your suggestions, acting as a catalyst for action. Having an experienced and qualified objective person with whom to think things through, is a vital element of success during the first three months of your new role.

Connectivity

Connectivity

70% of top jobs come through networking. Our access to senior decision makers is unrivalled and enables you to short circuit the process of finding a new position. Our expertise lies in generating connections between previously unrelated individuals creating synergies that enhance your career opportunities.

Connectivity

Once your marketing strategy is complete, we initiate contact with a focused group of powerful individuals relevant to your career ambitions. AGM has close relationships with hundreds of top tier Headhunters, as well as a wide range of top executives – many of whom have been our clients – who understand and value the service which AGM provides. We specialise in having widespread connections at decision making levels in mid to large companies across all sectors. We can also draw upon the networks of our directors, mentors and coaches. As a client you have access to this global network of influential business leaders.

We also work with you to help you continue to build and expand your own network and personal as well as professional relationships. We particularly help those in mid career to create the building blocks for a later portfolio or plural career.

Mentoring

Mentoring

The key to successful mentoring is aligning the correct mentor with the client. As part of our bespoke package, we identify a professional whose style and career experience suit your needs.

Mentoring

We have access to a network of senior mentors with a wealth of experience gained at the top of an extensive range of industries and professions.

Our mentors also work with clients over the longer term. Retaining the clarity of an outside perspective, they are able to challenge your assumptions and, through discussion, develop alternative strategies to deal with a wide variety of challenges. There is considerable value, for example, in discussing buy-outs, acquisitions or major restructurings with an independent person who has no internal company agenda. They can also work with you to develop and modify your leadership style to get peak performance from your team.

Corporate Clients

As well as offering a service to individuals, we also tailor programmes to the needs of corporate clients:
