Take the EMI — $500 →40 questions. Five pillars. Refundable within 7 days.
See where you stand
This is not a personality test.
Leadership assessments tell you how you lead.
The Executive Market Index tells you how prepared you are for the market.
The EMI was built to answer one practical question:
If the right opportunity appeared tomorrow, how ready would you be today?
Every other area of life gets a readiness assessment.
Your career does not.
You assess your health. Annual physical. Blood work. Prevention.
You review your finances. Net worth. Exposure. Where you stand.
You inspect your home. Foundation. Systems. What needs attention.
You evaluate your investments. Risk. Returns. What the market sees.
You check your insurance. Coverage. Gaps. What you’d lose if everything changed.
Yet most executives spend decades building a career worth millions — without ever assessing how prepared they are for what comes next.
Executive Search Intelligence™ is the readiness assessment for your career.
If the right opportunity appeared tomorrow, how ready would you be today?
Would your profile reflect your real value?
Would your accomplishments be clear?
Would your network be warm?
Would recruiters understand your scope?
Would your positioning match the level of opportunity you want next?
Most executives don’t know the answer. That’s not a failure. It’s a starting point.
Find Out Where You Stand — $500 →A complete executive readiness system.
SEE
Know where you stand. Take the EMI and identify your readiness, risks, blind spots, and recommended next actions.
BUILD
Strengthen what matters. Improve the assets that influence opportunity: positioning, visibility, accomplishments, network, and recruiter readiness.
POSITION
Prepare for what’s next. Become visible, prepared, connected, and positioned before the right opportunity appears.
What you get for $500
Four deliverables. The first three are the calibration itself. The fourth is how you compound it over the next 30 days.
Your Executive Readiness Score + 7-section report
Your score on the 600–900 scale, your band, your per-pillar breakdown across Visibility, Opportunity, Positioning, Relationships, Execution. Plus Competitive Advantage, Blind Spot Analysis, Gap Analysis, and Recommended Next Actions.
TYPICAL SEARCH-FIRM ASSESSMENT: $1,500+The Recruiter’s-View calibration

TYPICAL CAREER COACHING PACKAGE: $200+/MOStated comparable value across the four deliverables: well above $2,100. Your price: $500. Refundable within 7 days.
The cost of being invisible is not time. It is the mandate that already opened for your exact role.
Right now, there are active retained-search mandates being filled for roles at your level, in your function, in your geography. Some of them match your profile exactly.
A mandate that opens this month closes in eight weeks. The shortlist is built in the first two. If you are not findable, accurately framed, and warmly referable when the partner runs the search, you are not in the consideration set. You will not be told. There will be no rejection email. You will simply not move forward.
You may find out six months later that the role was filled, if at all.
Preparing properly takes roughly 90 focused hours over 90 days. About one hour per day.
Without a system, those hours scatter across résumé rewrites, LinkedIn edits, recruiter research, and second-guessing.
Executive Search Intelligence organizes the work into a focused path: SEE where you stand. BUILD what matters. POSITION yourself for what is next.
The right opportunity appears before you feel ready.
The point of the EMI is to be ready before it does.
“For 20 years, I sat on the search side of the table. I saw how executives were evaluated, compared, advanced, and quietly skipped. I built Executive Search Intelligence so leaders could finally see what the market sees before it matters most.”

The Executive Market Index is not another career assessment. It is the recruiter’s view of your readiness — delivered directly to you.
Your readiness path can continue from here.
Start with clarity. Continue only if you want deeper interpretation, guided implementation, or strategic positioning support.
The questions executives actually ask before they buy
Why is this $500 and not $5,000 if the calibration is worth $75K-$150K?
Because the calibration is the deliverable. The implementation is on you. A retained search firm is paid $75K to $150K to find one executive and run them through a full search process. The EMI gives you the same calibration intelligence in your inbox in 48 hours. What you do with it next is your work, not ours. That is the entire price gap.
What if my score is bad and I do not want to know?
A low score is a starting position, not a verdict. Most executives in the Needs Attention band (650–749) hold real careers and real accomplishments. They simply have not been calibrated against the market the way searches read candidates. The point of the EMI is to know before you need to know. Knowing is the upgrade. Not knowing is the cost.
How is this different from an executive career coach?
A coach treats the executive as the unit of analysis: what is your story, what are your values, what is your vision? The EMI treats the market as the unit of analysis: what does the market evaluate, where do you match, what is missing? Both have value. If you want to land your next role faster, you need the market read. That is what the EMI is. Built by a headhunter, not a career coach.
Will John actually review my results, or is this AI dressed up?
John personally records an 8–12 minute video review for every EMI buyer, within 48 hours of submission. He uses the same judgment he applies when deciding who makes the shortlist for a Fortune 500 search. The score itself is calibrated by a scoring engine for consistency. The interpretation, the three concrete next moves, and the read on your specific situation are his. Every report. Every buyer.
Is the assessment refundable?
Yes. Full refund within 7 days if the report does not show you exactly where the searches that should return you are missing. The 48-hour deliverable makes the timing fast on both sides.
How long does the assessment take?
About 20 to 25 minutes. 40 questions across five dimensions: Visibility, Opportunity, Positioning, Relationships, Execution. Snapshot lands in your inbox within 60 seconds of submission. Full report and personal video review within 48 hours.
You do not need to solve everything today. You need to know where you stand.
What they pay $75,000 to find. You pay $500 to know.

$500. 40 questions. Snapshot in 60 seconds. Personal 8–12 minute video review from John within 48 hours. Refundable within 7 days.
