    I opened my messages to find that I got a video book from Leonard and it was just awesome!

    Well this just made my day Leonard Goffe! Thank you for taking the time to review my book and my guide to acing the interview.

    Sharing a couple of important takeaways:

    The 3 most important parts of your interview are:

    1. The first 90 seconds (use the perfect elevator pitch formula with my present anchor to position yourself)

    2. The questions you ask at the end (for recency bias and overcoming silent objections from the interviewer)

    3. High performance interview answers - it is more than just STAR - top talent adds a strategic layer and a forward looking viewpoint to show how they ensured things "always or never" happened again for continuous improvement - this is called Super STAR Forward

    All of those pieces are in the book with the exact guide on how to do it so you can ace every interview that comes your way.

    Thank you again Leonard!!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I stand out in an interview?

    Top candidates control the narrative. The first 90 seconds, the questions you ask at the end, and how you frame achievements with forward-looking context (Super STAR Forward) all signal executive presence. Most candidates answer. The Candidate of Choice positions.

    How do I apply this to my own job search?

    Start by auditing your visibility. Does your LinkedIn profile make it obvious why you are the right hire? Then map your relationships. The Hireability Gap closes when you build presence before you need the role.

    Who is this for?

    Senior professionals with 10+ years of experience who are qualified for the roles they want but cannot seem to break through. The problem is rarely qualifications. It is visibility and positioning.
