A new way of thinking.
I'm Jared Redick, and I built The Redick Group on the principles I applied in retained executive search with firms conducting national searches in New York and San Francisco. That meant being on the other side of the table—evaluating executives and partners, identifying leadership potential, and watching how the right narrative could open doors while the wrong one closed them.
Pattern recognition, rigorous questioning, and the ability to see past surface-level narratives are woven into the work of executive search, and that foundation still shapes how I work today—whether with individuals or firms. I learned early that what separates those who advance from those who don't often comes down to narrative architecture: the ability to make expertise legible, to surface hidden value, and to help decision-makers see the end state in what you bring.
My work usually begins with a private-client engagement where I work one-on-one to dig deep into a person's career intentions, hopes, and challenges—all with the goal of helping them gain clarity and resolution, and creating a robust personal-professional brand. Sometimes, that expands into a throughline of work supporting their corporate obligations or new ventures. The assets we create together—résumés, bios, LinkedIn profiles, websites, taglines—are endpoints, yes. They're also tools for growth, for opportunity, and for navigating the complexities of leadership and business.
I've been fascinated by the power of seeing one's value on paper since I was a teenager typing resumes on my blue Smith Corona typewriter—long before I understood why that simple act of articulation could change what becomes possible.
