When is outplacement coaching the right call?
It's not just about the person leaving. It's about everyone watching.
Restructuring or redundancy — especially for long-tenured employees who haven't job-searched in years and don't know where to start.
Performance-related exits where a clean, supported departure reduces legal and reputational risk for your organisation.
Role eliminations during growth phases where good people become misaligned — and deserve more than a reference letter.
Any exit where the remaining team is watching closely — because how you treat people on the way out defines your employer brand for years.
The Eight-Session Programme
Each session builds on the last — from clarity to confidence to a live job search.
Session 01
Assessment & Alignment
Uncover transferable skills, strengths, and aspirations. Build a personalised roadmap for what comes next.
Session 02
Career Strategy
Clarify the target role, sharpen the narrative, and position the individual as a sought-after candidate.
Session 03
Materials & Messaging
Create a compelling CV, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter that get responses and open doors.
Session 04
Search Strategy
A structured, manageable plan to generate real opportunities — without the chaos of a scattergun approach.
Session 05
Interview & Transition Coaching
Interview preparation, mock interviews, and practical feedback — so they walk into rooms with confidence.
Session 06
Future-Proofing
Refine materials, celebrate progress, and build a long-term career strategy that sustains momentum beyond this transition.
Session 07
Offer Negotiation & Decision Making
Navigate offers, counter-offers, and career decisions with clarity — so they don't undersell themselves at the finish line.
Session 08
Landing & Looking Ahead
Set up for success in the new role — first 90 days planning, stakeholder management, and a long-term career strategy that lasts.
The Difference
"This isn't coaching to do more. It's coaching to be more. From uncertainty to authority, from hesitation to decisive action — that's the shift every session is built toward."
— Ronan Kennedy

I've spent 11 years coaching professionals through every kind of career transition — redundancy, pivots, promotions, and everything in between. I understand what people need when the ground shifts beneath them, and I know how to help them move forward with confidence rather than panic.
