Years Experience
Ronan Kennedy is an Executive Career Coach with 11+ years of experience supporting senior professionals, managers, and executives through career transitions. He works directly with every client — no associates, no handoffs.
The Problem
Redundancies are high-stakes.
Most are handled without support.
Without proper support, employee exits cost more than the severance — in legal exposure, employer brand damage, and the morale of the people who stay.
Most outplacement services are built for large enterprises with procurement cycles and minimum volumes. This programme is built for SMEs that need a credible, flexible option without lock-in.
You pay per employee, per exit, only when coaching is used.
Legal & Reputational ExposureAn unstructured exit process creates risk. A defensible, documented approach reduces it.
Employer BrandHow you treat departing employees is visible to everyone still in the building.
HR PressurePeople leaders need to feel supported during high-stakes exits, not isolated.
Employee MoraleTransitions handled with care protect the confidence and productivity of remaining teams.
Who This Is For
Built for the people
making the hard calls.
The Buyer
HR Directors & People Leaders
You're managing a sensitive exit and need something credible to offer — without the overhead of an enterprise contract or the awkwardness of doing nothing.
Also Relevant
MDs & CEOs in SMEs
You don't have a large HR team. You're handling this personally and you want to do right by the person leaving — professionally and humanely.

The cost of a poorly handled exit is rarely €2,500.
A single unstructured redundancy can trigger an employment claim, a Glassdoor review, or a wave of quiet departures from the people who stayed.
This programme gives HR leaders something concrete to put in front of leadership: a fixed cost, a clear scope, and a defensible process — without the overhead of an enterprise outplacement contract.
No retainer. No minimum volume. No spend unless coaching is used.
Case Study
A Managing Director.
Seven long-serving employees. One difficult call.
Context
The MD of an Irish SME found Ronan through a Google search while facing one of the harder decisions a leader has to make — seven long-serving employees at risk of redundancy. His concern wasn't just process. He wanted to do right by people who had given years to the business.
The Challenge
Most of the team hadn't needed a CV in years and didn't know where to start. The MD wanted to offer coaching as a funded option — not a requirement — and cover the cost himself. A genuine gesture of care at a difficult moment.
Outcome
Employees moved forward with clarity and renewed confidence. The MD handled a genuinely difficult moment with care and professionalism — and was able to look his team in the eye knowing he'd given them the best possible support on the way out.
In Their Words
What clients say.
In recent years, we've engaged Ronan to help a couple of our people successfully navigate meaningful change in their lives. He earned instant professional credibility with me, but, more importantly, he built instant rapport and trust with them, providing them with concrete actions they could take to shift their thinking and equip themselves to find and take the right next step in their career. He has a professional and calm way of doing things, but blends this with friendliness and informality — a perfect blend for us.

FAQ
Common questions
answered.
Once agreed, the first session can typically be scheduled within a few days. You confirm the engagement, the employee books directly, and coaching begins — no procurement delay.
Coaching works best when it's chosen, not mandated. If an employee disengages, unused sessions aren't charged. You only pay for coaching that's actually used.
Yes. The programme has been delivered across corporate, finance, consulting, technology, and the public sector. The coaching is tailored to the individual's background and target market.
Specifically so. The programme is built around executive-level career coaching — it's most effective for managers, senior leaders, and executives with 10+ years of experience.
That's your call. The coaching relationship is confidential — Ronan won't share session content with the company. Many organisations present it as a supported exit benefit.
Large providers lock you into volume contracts, use junior coaches, and deliver templated programmes. This is one-to-one coaching with Ronan directly — no account managers, no minimum commitment.
