#SaraSays
#SaraSays focus on what’s relevant, keep it clean, and let your top accomplishments shine. Your résumé doesn’t have to tell your whole story—just the parts that get you in the door.

Want to show that you are C-suite material?

You'll need to prove you can think big picture and solve problems that affect the whole company.

Share real stories about times you've grown teams, navigated complex situations, and helped drive major changes.

Transform your résumé by using impactful verbs like "influenced," "optimized," or "revitalized" to showcase your achievements. Highlight key contributions and let powerful words reflect your value, turning your résumé into a compelling narrative of real change and results.

Your personal brand is your professional identity. Executives who intentionally shape their brands increase visibility, grab attention, and open up opportunities. From your social media to your executive presence, your brand should project authority, integrity, and influence.

Executives should focus their résumés not just on achievements but on strategic impact. Show how you drove change, optimized processes for savings, or influenced growth decisions. Incorporate transformation stories and quantify results with metrics, emphasizing leadership outcomes. #SaraSays

Executive presence goes beyond words; it's conveyed by the unspoken messages you send. Build this by listening effectively, maintaining steady eye contact, and staying calm under pressure. Develop these qualities to see how others respond, seek your advice, and follow your lead.

#SaraSays: Relationships matter. When you position yourself as a trusted advisor, you’re not just building a network—you’re building influence.

The right connection today could be your greatest advocate tomorrow.
