Hearing a consistent message on the executive search process and what makes a "good" candidate

A good platform to Seek clarity on what is expected out of candidate and how Executive search firms think through the process

Clear, helpful, practical

Found very informative. Thanks for valuable board insights.

It gave me insight in to board composition of Europe and US including essential committees & role of directors in shaping the future of company

Great practical recommendations to best prepare to win the role.
Very clear with great examples!

I had the great fortune of being introduced to Simeon Wong through the BlueSteps platform. Simeon is a highly responsive, articulate, positive, and experienced individual. He has a clear and concise value proposition that is a true benefit to his clients. I would highly recommend engaging Mr. Wong for his services.

Really diverse viewpoints and helpful session.

Guidance was too generic. Would prefer use of live examples to provide concrete illustrations.

Did not really answer the top desired outcome of session which is how to increase visibility with recruiters.

Getting on recruiters' radars is biggest black box mystery next to the origins or the universe.

The building your brand session today was quite helpful

Appreciated the the quality of the panel, it flowed well and real examples/analogies kept it interesting. You will have takeaways.

Personal Brand webinar May 7.
Overall, good. I do think too much time spent on LinkedIn and online presence, but good information sharing there.
The speaker from Stanton Chase was challenging to listen to as he had a lot of "Uhhhhh" interrupting his sentences. Dakota from TM2, on the other hand, was a pleasure to listen to - easy to follow, relatable, etc.

I have been a member of Bluesteps for over five years and paid for a lifetime membership. It is useful specially for professional development and trainings.
However, they randomly turned off my membership access last year and I have been trying unsuccessfully to reactivate it. They do NOT have any customer service department and it is NOT possible to contact them at any cost.

I found the webinar very informative, in terms of positioning one's skills around AI rather than focusing on AI skills themselves. Also relevant, and a related point, was the advice to emphasise HOW we achieved over WHAT we achieved, and crafting a narrative of adaptability and readiness for future ongoing development.

I found the last webinar chat very helpful. The speakers were competent on their subject.

Be authentic and careful with AI writings
Be active in professional societies
Approach executive search professionals, some are very open

Seeing first-hand the importance that the team placed on in-person networking gave me the vigor I needed to take the step I have been hesitant to take. It is critical to my professional development to "be present" in events, associations, and industry seminars. The other dynamic that I have not emphasized much is the need to produce literature that expresses my skillset and strength of industry knowledge. The team gave profound insight into how this guides and informs researchers in understanding the candidate they are looking at and is a substantial developmental aspect in the relationship between the candidate and the researcher.

very insightful reminder to executive resume writing!

Attended the webinar "How to Create the Perfect executive resume" and I was so impressed with the speakers, I connected immediately to them on LinkedIn and will see their guidance in my search. This reinforced my belief that AI written anything is NOT the way to go especially in this market. The other item that stood out is that your resume should not be tailored to a job/role, but it should be about you and you only. There are so many tools out there that rewrite your resume given a job description. I was skeptical about that strategy and I am convinced now.

The presentation was chock full of helpful tips that also came with clear examples.
