Your Expertise Speaks for Itself.
Your Positioning Should, Too.
Why Positioning Matters
You’re known for making decisions, delivering outcomes, and driving impact.
But your Résumé, LinkedIn profile, or Board materials don’t reflect that.
______
They’re outdated. Incomplete. Or still sitting on your to-do list.
And while you might not be actively “looking,” you know this:
If the right opportunity showed up today—you wouldn’t be fully ready.
______
At your level, that’s not a small gap.
That’s a positioning problem.
______
Hi, I’m Monica Marcelis Fochtman, PhD, CPRW, CCTC—Executive Positioning Strategist.
Senior leaders don’t hire me because they need better documents. They hire me because they need their expertise represented with the same level of clarity and credibility they’ve spent years building.
______
This isn’t about “updating your résumé.”
It’s about aligning your external presence with your actual level of influence.
______
When that alignment is off:
- your experience is understated
- your leadership isn’t fully visible
- and opportunities require more explanation than they should
I fix that—quickly, strategically, and at your level.
______
When this is handled, you:
- show up to conversations and opportunities already positioned
- have a clear, executive leadership narrative that reflects the scale of your impact
- can share your résumé or profile without hesitation
______
You won’t be handed templates or asked to figure this out on your own.
I extract what matters, translate it at the right level, and build materials that reflect the full scope of your leadership.
Efficient. High-touch. Discreet.
You’ve done the work to build your career.
Now it’s time to make sure it’s represented at the level it deserves.
______
Not quite at the executive level—yet?
If you’re operating at the Director or Senior Manager level and preparing for your next step, the work is slightly different—but just as important.
We focus on:
- clarifying your leadership narrative
- positioning you for advancement
- ensuring you’re seen at the level you’re ready to step into
