🔥 iRock E.P.I.C.^TM Framework

A four-phase career strategy designed for today’s competitive marketplace.

Stop Waiting to Be Chosen. Start Positioning to Be Chosen Instead.

You're doing the work—leading teams, solving big problems, and delivering results. But when it comes to moving up into executive leadership, it feels like you’re stuck on pause while others are fast-tracking ahead. And, often those who pass you by experience and results don't come near yours.

Sound familiar? Well, don't worry. You landed here for a reason.

We work with ambitious mid-level through C-suite leaders who are ready to accelerate their career trajectory. Whether you’re preparing for a promotion in your current company or making a strategic leap to a new opportunity, the

iRock E.P.I.C. Framework^TMgives you the clarity, influence, and strategy to go from overlooked to in-demand.

"How Long Does It Usually Take for a Senior Leader to Land Their Next Role?"

Great question!

Most folks aiming for C‑suite or senior roles take up to 6 months to land their next level opportunity—as per Campbell Morden’s recruitment insights. For more niche or strategic roles, expect the search to stretch to 10 months or more. Campbell Morden especially in todays job search climate.

Executive search timelines tell a similar story: often 90 to 120 days to fill such high-stakes roles—but these can stretch out based on role complexity, industry, and how tight the market is. Medallion Partners+1

Bottom line? At senior levels, it’s not about speed—it’s about intentionality, positioning, and closing the deal in just the right seat.

- Tarsha P. Hearns, M.B.A.

Landed: Vice President, Entrepreneurship

"Working with Nickquolette Barrett was a game-changer for my career. Within just 30 days of partnering with her through the VIP package, I transitioned from a Senior Director role at a local nonprofit to a fully remote Vice President position at a national organization with a mission I deeply align with. My new salary increased by 75%, and I secured additional perks—including funding for professional development—thanks to her expert guidance in salary negotiation, executive positioning, and brand messaging.

Nickquolette helped me refine my executive portfolio, clarify my leadership identity, and present myself as a compelling candidate for high-level roles. Her support through every step—from interview strategy to final offer negotiation—was invaluable. I’m beyond grateful and highly recommend her if you’re serious about landing your next-level role."*

- Randall R. Holmes

Landed: Director of Sales, Texas Event Center

"I needed someone to help create a resume and Linked In profile that would separate me from the rest of the field. Taking my experience and expertise, Nickquolette used words to effectively paint a picture of who I am by personalizing my resume and LinkedIn profile to represent me to those that I would be influencing.

Nickquolette is a wonderful person with a great heart, and she takes time to meet with you and gain an understanding of how she can be of service in meeting your needs

For Both: Uncover your values, leadership style, and long-term vision.
For Both: Map your work ecosystem and clarify what matters most to key stakeholders — whether they’re inside your company or in your target market.

Why it matters: Without direction and insight into the people and priorities that drive opportunities, you risk working hard on the wrong things.

Career Documents & Results Storytelling

Your brand is the story told about you when you’re not in the room — and if you don’t shape it, someone else will. Whether you’re aiming for recognition inside your company or visibility in the broader job market, we make sure that story works in your favor.

Includes:

For internal advancement: Develop promotion packets, stakeholder briefs, and project summaries that demonstrate readiness for the next level.
For external moves: Create a results-driven resume, optimized LinkedIn profile, and executive bio aligned to your target roles

Includes:

For internal advancement: Build strategic relationships with executives, “power peers,” and influencers who can champion your promotion.
For external moves: Leverage networks, thought leadership, and recruiter relationships to access hidden roles.
For Both: Master interviews — whether it’s a panel with your leadership team or a C-suite hiring board.
For Both: Negotiate for the compensation, benefits, and scope you deserve.

Landed: Executive Director of Bilingual/ESL Programs

"Day 2 in my new Director role, and I had to pause and shout out Nickquolette Barrett and iRock Résumés.

I initially purchased the package that included LinkedIn optimization, résumé preparation, and interview coaching. Nickquolette didn't just update my résumé—she transformed it into a compelling narrative that truly reflected my leadership and impact. After submitting my new résumé, I received four interview calls within the first week!

The interview prep was a game-changer. It boosted my confidence and helped me articulate my value effectively. When the offer came through, I sought additional guidance from Nickquolette on navigating the negotiation process. Her insights were invaluable, making me feel at ease and empowered.

Nickquolette's services go beyond basic résumé writing. She uncovers your strengths, builds your confidence, and helps you showcase your true value. It's like having a personal coach and cheerleader in your corner.

Thank you, my friend, for all you do!"

- R.L. Hunnicut, M.B.A.

Landed: Senior Division Manager turned CEO & Franchise Owner

*I'll get right to the point—Nickquolette is the real deal. I sensed a shift coming at my company and decided to be proactive. I connected with Nickquolette on LinkedIn and invested in her mid-tier program to revamp my résumé. What I got was so much more—a complete transformation of my career story and professional identity.

Just weeks later, I was laid off. But because of the strategic plan we put in place and the powerful tools she gave me, I bounced back fast. I landed an offer from Amazon as a Senior Manager within 45 days and had multiple job opportunities rolling in. That confidence and clarity also opened the door to something even bigger—I took a bold leap into entrepreneurship and became the owner of a LIME Painting franchise.

Nickquolette helped me position myself for opportunity, not panic. I’m in a better place after a 16-year corporate career than I’ve ever been before—and I couldn’t have done it without her."
