Who is Corby Fine?
Corby Fine is a Toronto-based executive career and leadership coach, MBA, ICF. Over 25 years leading at Bell, CIBC, Rogers, and IGM Financial before coaching the leaders who remind him of where he used to be. Creator of the Segment of One methodology, the only career strategy worth having is one built exclusively around you.
What changes when we work together?
Doing the work of two levels up, but stuck at the same title?
Execution doesn't get you promoted. Visibility and positioning do. You leave with the exact narrative, the political strategy, and the executive buy-in to claim the role you are already running.
Paid below your actual market value?
"I want more money" isn't a strategy. It's a complaint. You leave with a hard business case, a clear number, and a negotiation script that makes saying yes the easiest decision your boss makes all year.
Leading through non-stop organizational chaos?
When the org chart shifts every six months, panic isn't an option. You leave with a personal operating system that keeps you grounded, protects your team, and holds up no matter what the board or the market does next.
How I Coach
Whether you are positioning for your next move or navigating the executive role you are in right now, the rules do not change.
Principle
In a Job Search
In Your Current Role
Work is a contract, not a religion
Stop taking rejections personally and holding out for a fantasy "soulmate" company. Evaluate roles on scope, pay, and autonomy.
Stop letting organizational shifts feel like a personal crisis. Draw clear boundaries, manage your energy, and stop letting work swallow your life.
Your value is a billboard, not an audit log
Stop listing every system you touched over ten years. Hiring managers don't buy task inventories. Frame where you're going and how you solve real problems.
Execution alone will not get you promoted. Stop being the quiet worker who buries their head. Communicate your team's impact and build executive buy-in.
Clarity beats perfection
Ditch the overprep. You don't need to memorize 50 interview questions. Bring five strong, reusable stories and a clear set of operating principles.
Stop drowning in corporate noise. Get dead clear on your real KPIs, set hard boundaries on custom roles, and anchor decisions in data.

Where are you on your journey?
-

Early Career
You're building the foundation and the decisions you make now compound faster than you think. Coaching at this stage is about identifying your Segment of One early, developing the professional instincts that separate high-performers from the rest, and avoiding the common mistakes that stall careers before they start.
-

Mid Career
You've proven yourself so why does it still feel like you're stuck? The mid-career plateau isn't a skills problem. It's usually a visibility, sponsorship, or positioning problem. Coaching at this stage breaks through the Authority Gap and gets your name in the right rooms.
-

Senior Leaders
At the senior level, the game changes completely. It's no longer about doing, it's about leading, influencing, and building legacy. Whether you're navigating a first C-suite role, considering fractional executive work, or managing the politics of a matrix organisation, coaching at this stage is about playing at the level your experience has earned you.

“What would success look like for you in your career? What do you believe is holding you back from achieving that, and how might you overcome those obstacles?”

Reach your full potential
Most people spend their entire career trying to fit into someone else's definition of success. The Segment of One methodology starts from a different premise: that the clearest path forward is the one built entirely around what makes you uniquely valuable — your specific combination of skills, experience, instincts, and ambition that no one else occupies.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start building, let's talk.
Achieve your personal goals
Every engagement starts with understanding your specific situation, the goals you're chasing, the obstacles in your way, and the assumptions worth questioning. There are no generic action plans here. The questions I ask are designed to surface the answers you already have, and to help you commit to the path that's actually right for you, not just the one that looks right on paper.
My coaching is built around you, not a template.
