Executive Outplacement Coaching

"You showed me that I was a valuable, marketable product. I now have the ability to know my self-worth and I have self-confidence."
Jerry Bossan (client)

TTG Consultants is a fifteen year old, Los Angeles based, full service Human Resources consulting firm; one of the most advanced and innovative companies of its kind in the United States. We offer a broad spectrum of cost-effective, unique executive outplacement programs.

Is there a difference Between Executive Career Transition Programs?

Yes, there is. And the difference is in the details!

TTG is managed by its owners (NOT by someone who reports to a giant conglomerate). We also are a member of a 100-office, worldwide partnership of locally owned companies like ours - Lincolnshire International. Therefore our clients have "the best of both worlds" - personal attention from owners, plus access to a worldwide network of professional coaches, and the career opportunities that only long-established local partners can discover.

TTG Consultants' Executive Career Transition Program consists of unlimited, personalized, one-on-one job-search and/or entrepreneurial coaching.

Office services include secretarial (for resume preparation and self-marketing letters), as well as office availability by appointment.

Subjects covered during counseling include:

  • Self-Assessment: to identify skills, strengths accomplishments.
  • Goal Setting: to define and develop career objectives.
  • Resume Preparation: with printed copies of the finished resume, as well as matching letterheads and envelopes.
  • Research: to identify and strategize target companies.
  • Self-Marketing & Networking Strategies: to organize and utilize contacts, friends, and associates for job leads and introductions.
  • Interviewing Techniques: for controlling and winning the offer. Participants have the opportunity, at their option, of unlimited video role-play for interview practice - during the coaching program, as well as prior to important interviews.
  • Compensation Negotiation: for moving into the upper end of the salary and benefits range.
  • Action Plan: for utilizing the techniques and strategies learned, in order to implement an effective job-search campaign.

Most professional career transition programs address these subjects. But, once again, the difference is in the details.

So What is Different And Unique About TTG's Executive Career Transition Program?

First, Lets consider that...

ALL COACHING IS DONE IN A ONE-ON-ONE SETTING - Participants are NOT placed in impersonal group seminars (such as giant conglomerate-managed programs prescribe).

Next, there is...

Opening New Doors®

Clients

Reviewed and updated every six months, Opening New Doors® consists of six Audio Tapes (12 sides), three CDs, and a 280-page Learning Guide. The program covers all of the essential issues relating to job and/or career transition and, in addition, addresses such varied subjects as: How to Make the Most of a New Job, How to Sell Your Ideas to Others, How to Start Your Own Business, etc. An extremely popular feature of the program is its Interview Practice Tape, an instructional tape that can be reviewed prior to, or on the way to an interview. Opening New Doors® is a valuable resource that can be passed on to other family members. In addition, our toll-free Counselor Support Hotline takes over once our one-on-one coaching has ended. Answers to difficult job-search or career-management questions are always only a phone call away - until re-employment.

Pre-Termination Planning

A critical element in the Outplacement process is pre-termination planning. We provide our client managers with coaching on how to manage terminations in an effective and humane way. We help them understand the psychological and emotional dynamics of termination - for both themselves and the employees involved. Proper termination procedures can minimize the potential for litigation and violence, as well as a possible negative impact on public relations and recruiting.

Complete Internet Job-Search Support System

Exec-U-Net: A personalized listing of "unpublished" jobs (those not in newspapers) are available to all participants in a Senior Executive program of six months, or longer. This user-friendly job-listing service focuses on available opportunities in an individual participant's specific industry and function. It is a bi-monthly, comprehensive listing of local and nationwide job availabilities, and is the premier service of its kind.

e-JobSearch: TTG's customized, interactive, web-based career management system. Components include: an organizer (for e-mail, letters and resumes); a resume builder, a "spider" to find and download applicable jobs on 100 job-posting sites; an extensive database for researching companies; salary/compensation and relocation information; specific career statistics; entrepreneurial tools, and 24/7 access to Q&A assistance.

Introduction to Recruiters

Through TTG Search, clients are exposed to select opportunities which are accessible only through Executive Search firms.

Entrepreneurial Coaching

Starting/Buying/Franchising one's own business is an increasingly popular career. TTG provides an in-depth program for those who choose this career path.

Seasoned Coaches

TTG's Coaches have extensive general business and specific industry experience (with both local organizations and global enterprises), as well as expertise in job-search/career-management guidance.

Executive Offices

Senior Executive programs offer spacious client offices, with windows, polished wood desks and credenzas.

Databases for Company Research

In addition to traditional printed research material, TTG uses CD-ROM databases and "on-line" sources containing hundreds of thousands of business entities and the names/bios of executives who manage them. We are able to target organizations by geography (zip code), industry, function, revenue, number of employees and by company name. Included are Hoover's, Dun & Bradstreet, and Corporate Affiliations, among others.

Environment

TTG Consultants is large enough to implement a major downsizing (see our Lincolnshire International partnerships below), yet small enough to provide a warm, friendly, supportive atmosphere. Clients are treated as an associate, rather than someone we are simply coaching. They know every member of senior management and each, in his/her way, will participate in the process of helping the client transition into a new and fulfilling job. Since no one particular coach can possibly know everything about the current job market, clients have access to, and are coached by, several members of TTG's senior management. Our goal is to make our clients feel as relaxed and comfortable in our offices as they would in their own.

TTG's Unique Instant Office Service

For those participants preferring to implement Outplacement coaching from home, TTG will provide a notebook computer, loaded with the necessary software to conduct a "distance-coaching" program. Included is a resume writing template; a campaign tracking system; access to the Hoover's and Dun & Bradstreet databases for company research; local dial-up ISP access; as well as the compression technology and digital camera for our one-on-one, internet based e-VideoCoaching® (interactive, "on-line" audio & video).

A Guide to Effective Separations Video

This 11 minute Video and Handbook trains mangers in the sensitive, and often difficult task of terminating other employees. This Video and Handbook are offered FREE with an Outplacement Assignment.
