In her work at an executive search firm, Gina Riley noticed common mistakes that executive leaders were making in the interview process. They struggled to articulate their strengths and explain how they showed up in the world uniquely. And many lacked executive presence. In other words, they didn’t convey the trustworthiness and authority it takes to lead an organization. So, what can executives do to position themselves appropriately for the job they want and really shine in interviews? Gina is the HR professional, career transition and executive search expert behind Gina Riley Consulting, a firm that helps people at the leadership level navigate the job search process.
