Elite Training for the Next Generation of Leaders
There is a rising frustration among Early Career Professionals that a lack of experience and real-world professional skills is denying them the impact, recognition and opportunity they desire at work. They crave development, but they need someone to show them the way. Without these things, they begin to look at returning to school, or for a role elsewhere that will be more challenging and help them grow.
You care about the next generation of talent but you may not currently have the infrastructure available to cultivate it. But if left unaddressed, chances are high your most promising employees will move on, and you will need to replace them with a new junior person—wasting time and valuable resources training new hires and bringing them up to speed. And the longer this cycle continues, the worse it is for your business.
Finding a replacement is draining, expensive and disruptive. It takes up to a year with significant cost and time investment to have a new employee recruited, hired, trained, capable, and performing in their new role. Losing good people is bad for business, but you don’t have the right solution to keep your newer team members engaged, enthusiastic, and contributing to the growth of your organization.
Executive Coaching Built for Early Career Professionals helps companies invest in their employees and demonstrate their commitment to the growth and development of their key talent, helping build loyalty, trust, and most critically ... keeping them on the team.
Exponential Benefits—Everybody Wins
Investing in transformational training for your Early Career Professionals (ECPs) is the epitome of corporate responsibility, because it gives a much needed boost to every aspect of the organization. By helping your ECPs grow, your company culture, productivity, and profits will grow as well.
And the ancillary benefits extend well beyond the scope of the curriculum:
-
Grow your Company quicker. By trusting your skilled and confident ECPs with greater responsibilities and higher-value projects, you can reduce the dependency on senior leadership to drive your business forward.
-
Fix a massive Organizational gap. Give your ECPs the critically-needed, elite plug-and-play training you want them to have ... but can’t provide due to lack of time, resources, expertise, or support.
-
Increase loyalty, morale, and retention. Help your ECPs achieve the impact and influence they desire at work, while they earn the recognition they crave.
-
Dramatically reduce the enormous costs of turnover: recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, losing employees, along with their company experience and knowledge ... and then starting over.
Make the winning move for your company and your people by training your Early Career Professionals to Think, Act, and Perform like a C-Level Executive ™.
“Your principal moral obligation as a leader is to develop—day by day—the skillset, ‘soft’ and ‘hard,’ of every one of the people in your charge to the maximum extent of your abilities. The good news: This is also the #1 mid- to long-term ... profit maximization strategy!”
—Tom Peters, Business and Strategy Guru
How the ECP Program Works ...
Over the course of 12 weeks, participants are taken through three complete learning units, with each unit focusing on a different aspect of the Think, Act, Perform structure.
Each unit contains a series of learning modules, with a specific focus such as Time Management, Speaking, and Presenting, or Your Attitude. These videos are short (the longest one isn’t even 15 minutes) so they’re more easily digestible and can be consumed on-demand later as needed. As part of each lesson, there is also a wide variety of additional content, including “catchphrase”-style affirmations and mantras, action steps, and more.
Additionally, the program gives your Early Career Professionals twelve weeks of live mentorship to help them get the most of the content. They’ll also have the support of a small cohort of their peers, all working together to challenge themselves as they learn. These cohorts are capped at 20 participants, so they remain focused and personal.
As a group, they’ll learn breakthrough strategies, and acceleration hacks that unlock the professional skills they need to enhance their impact and influence at work. These elite trainings include mindset, accountability, organization, productivity, presentation, and professionalism, so your ECPs can form strong executive behavior foundations.
They’ll also be able to apply their new skill immediately through implementation exercises and assignments that will challenge them to use their new tools and talents, and the peer-driven community of support and mutual learning will ensure these transformational behaviors “stick.”
At the end of the training, participants will receive a Certification and Record of Completion, validating that your Early Career Professionals are ready to generate greater impact for your organization.

Meet the Coach, Oliver J. Gleeson
Hi, I’m Oliver Gleeson. I’m an Executive Coach, Consultant, and Trainer. Through my company, SalientMap Executive Consultancy, I help C-Level Executives (CEOs, COOs, CFOs, etc.), Business Owners, and their Teams develop the skills and confidence to become great at growing their business.
Although I’ve been privileged to impact organizations at the highest levels, I also have a real soft spot for mentoring Early Career Professionals and helping their careers take flight. See, I struggled mightily during the formative years of my career, often unsure of what to do and feeling I had to figure it out on my own.
I know first hand the frustration, aggravation, and draining confidence brought on by a lack of experience and real-world professional skills.
Hate is a very strong word that I rarely use, but if I am being brutally honest though, I hated that feeling.
So much so, that I made it my primary area of focus at every stage of my career to share, teach, and mentor Early Career Professionals at every opportunity.
I don’t want anyone else to feel how I felt.
I couldn’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve pulled aside an Early Career Professional and said “this took me 5 years to learn. I’m going to teach you this in 5 minutes!”
To share this knowledge and see Early Career Professionals apply, succeed, and grow quickly is beyond satisfying. It never gets old.
And this is what I want to do with you.
My goal is to help your team overcome feelings of frustration and insecurity due to a lack of experience and real-world professional skills, so that they can begin to grow into their roles as your organization’s future leaders as quickly as possible.
“Train people well enough so they can leave. Treat them well enough so they don’t want to.”
—Sir Richard Branson, Entrepreneur
What ECP Program Graduates Are Saying:
“The Early Career Professional program was an amazing intro into the soft skills needed in the workforce, skills that are not necessarily taught in university classes. With what I learned from Oliver and my peers through lessons and group discussions, I feel more prepared to take on my current role and future careers ahead of me. Thank you Oliver and Salient Map! 10/10 recommend the program!”
—Tyler P.
“I highly recommend professionals of all ages sign up for Executive Coaching Built for Early Career Professionals. As a veteran Marketing and CPG Sales person for over 20 years, I was impressed with the depth of content and fantastic tools and tips that I have incorporated into my daily routine. These skills are essential for any career professional to aid in their development journey and establish a strong foundation for their career.”
—Ian M.
“The Early Career Professional Program opened my eyes to the skills required to further my career path. The skills we focused on included social and professional tools we use every day, but we don’t think to improve on. This program provided the ability to take a step back and actually recognize these skills for the sake of improvement and learning new skills. After taking this course, I feel that I have and will keep improving the skills focused in this program as I move forward through my career path. Thank you Oliver and Salient Map for the opportunity to participate.”
—Justin K.
“The Early Career Professional program was an amazing experience for me. Since I have just begun my career, I am still learning as I go. This program taught me a lot about how to stand out at work, how to complete tasks efficiently, and how to navigate through working life. The group discussions allowed me to ask important questions and converse with others who are in the same position as me. I highly recommend this program to individuals who may be just starting their careers or a few years in.”
—Mackenzie H.
