Ep209 Gina Riley - Beyond Qualifications: How Top Executives Land Hidden Leadership Opportunities

The Hidden Truth: Why 80% of Executive Jobs Never Hit the Job Boards

In this power-packed episode, Mike O'Neill sits down with Gina Riley, a distinguished executive career strategist whose expertise spans corporate HR at Intel and executive search at Talents Group. With over two decades of placing C-suite leaders, Gina shares game-changing insights from her upcoming book "Qualified Isn't Enough" that will transform how senior leaders approach their career advancement.

Drawing from her extensive experience placing top executives in CEO, COO, and CFO roles, Gina reveals why traditional job hunting methods fail today's leaders. She shares a remarkable case study of how one VP turned his 25-year career into a 25% salary increase by mastering what she calls "the percolating job market" - where eight out of 10 executive positions are filled before they're ever advertised.

Key Insights to Look Out For:

• The strategic shift in executive hiring: Why having 800+ applicants for one role has changed how companies select top talent

• The three-column framework that helps leaders identify and leverage their unique value proposition

• How one executive's 80 strategic social posts in six months led to instant credibility in a new organization

Mike O'Neill's expert facilitation draws out practical wisdom about building genuine professional relationships and establishing thought leadership that opens doors to opportunities. This conversation goes beyond standard networking advice to reveal how today's executives can position themselves as the go-to choice when leadership roles become available.
