★★★★★

"Ronan is fantastic! Before working with him, I felt like a ship lost at sea. He stepped in as a master navigator and helped steer me in the right direction — instrumental in helping me land not just one, but two jobs within just a few weeks. He helped me identify the value in my transferable skills and, most importantly, rebuilt my confidence to back myself again."

"Ronan was brilliant, both in building my confidence and nailing down exactly the type of role and company I wanted. I came to him dispirited, 22 years in the one company and in dire need of a change. He helped me determine what I wanted, build my brand, and develop a killer CV. It opened doors and inside 4 weeks I landed two good job offers."

Where you are right now

You've built a serious career. Something still isn't right.

Most clients who reach out are some version of the four below. If any of this lands, you're in the right place.

You know your value — you just can't articulate it.

Ten, fifteen, twenty years of real impact. But your CV undersells you, your LinkedIn reads like everyone else's, and you walk out of interviews thinking I should have said it better than that.

You feel invisible at exactly the moment you should be visible.

Roles you'd be perfect for go to people you know aren't as strong. Recruiters don't call. Peers move ahead and you're not sure what they're doing differently.

You're stable — and stuck.

The job is fine. The pay is fine. But the energy is gone, the growth has stalled, and you can feel yourself coasting. You don't want to blow it up. You want a real next chapter.

You're ready to move — and you want to do it properly.

Not a scattershot job hunt. A structured plan: clarity on the right next role, a pitch that lands, a CV and LinkedIn that earn the call, and the confidence to walk into any interview and own the room.

    Common Questions

    What's included in the six sessions? +

    Each session is one hour, one-to-one with Ronan. The programme covers career direction and clarity, CV and LinkedIn, personal brand and how you're positioned in the market, interview preparation, and salary negotiation. The structure is built around your specific situation — not a generic template. Between sessions you'll have direct access to Ronan and all workbooks and frameworks used.

    How quickly can I get started? +

    Immediately. Once payment is processed you'll receive a confirmation email with a booking link for your first session.

    Is this right for me if I'm not sure what I want next? +

    Yes. Clarity is often the starting point, not the prerequisite. Many clients come in feeling stuck or unsure — that's exactly what the first two sessions are designed to address. You don't need to have the answer before you begin. You just need to be ready to do the work.

    Do sessions expire? +

    No. Sessions never expire and are fully transferable. If life gets in the way, your sessions wait for you. You can also transfer unused sessions to a colleague or family member.

    Do you offer a free call before I commit? +

    Yes. If you'd prefer to speak with Ronan before enrolling, you can book a free 20-minute intro call. It's no obligation — just a conversation to make sure it's the right fit.

    Ronan Kennedy — Executive Career Coach

    You know your next move.
    Something is getting in the way.

    You have the experience. You have the ability. But the job search feels harder than it should — and you're not sure why.

    Your CV doesn't reflect what you actually do

    You've done serious work. But when you sit down to write it, it comes out flat, generic, and indistinguishable from everyone else at your level.

    Interviews aren't converting

    You're getting to the room. But something isn't landing — and the feedback, when it comes at all, is vague. You leave not knowing what went wrong.

    You're not sure how to pitch yourself

    You know what you've done. But articulating your value — clearly, confidently, without sounding like you're reading from a LinkedIn profile — is harder than it looks.

    The search is taking longer than expected

    You're applying, reaching out, waiting. The process feels passive and uncertain. You don't have a structured plan — just hope that something lands.

    Leave with a strategy, a pitch, and a plan.

    01
    A CV and LinkedIn that positions you correctly

    Stop listing responsibilities. Start communicating impact. You'll leave knowing exactly how to articulate your experience at Director and VP level — in a way that gets responses.

    02
    A personal pitch you can actually deliver

    The clearest, most confident version of who you are, what you do, and why it matters — ready for interviews, networking conversations, and the opening question you always stumble on.

    03
    An interview framework that converts

    How to prepare, how to structure your answers, how to handle the hard questions, and how to negotiate the offer. Practical, repeatable, and built for senior roles.

    04
    A 90-day job search action plan

    A structured week-by-week plan covering outreach, applications, networking, and follow-up. No more passive hoping. A clear, sequenced process with milestones you can track.

    "Most senior professionals don't have a skills gap. They have a clarity gap — they can't articulate their value as well as they deliver it."
    Ronan Kennedy · Executive Career Coach

    This workshop is for you if:

    You're at Director, VP, or Head of level
    You're actively looking or preparing to move
    Your CV and pitch aren't doing you justice
    You want a structured plan, not just hope
    You prefer action over theory

    Four focused hours. No fluff.

    Every session is designed to move between insight and application — you leave having practised, not just understood.

    8:30am
    Coffee & Conversation

    Arrive, settle in, and meet the people in the room. A chance to connect informally before the day begins — often where the most useful conversations start.

    9:00am
    Welcome & Foundations

    Where confidence actually comes from — and why the standard advice fails senior professionals. Understand the neurological and behavioural roots of your specific blocks.

    10:00am
    Your CV, LinkedIn & Personal Pitch

    Rewrite how you present yourself — on paper, online, and in person. Leave with a clear value proposition and the language to back it up in any conversation.

    11:15am
    Break (45 mins)

    Coffee, food, and conversation. A proper break — long enough to decompress, connect with fellow attendees, and arrive back fresh for the second half.

    11:30am
    Interview Strategy & Salary Negotiation

    How to prepare for senior interviews, structure compelling answers, handle the questions that trip people up, and negotiate the offer with confidence.

    12:45pm
    Your 90-Day Job Search Plan

    A structured, week-by-week plan: target roles, outreach strategy, application pipeline, and follow-up cadence. Leave with a clear map, not just motivation.

    1:00pm
    Close & Next Steps

    Informal networking over lunch with fellow attendees. Optional one-to-one conversation with Ronan for those exploring deeper coaching work.

    I've spent 11 years helping senior professionals land the roles their experience deserves — Directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders who are excellent at what they do but struggle to communicate it clearly enough to move.

    The gap is almost never ability. It's clarity — how you position yourself, how you talk about your work, and how you show up in the moments that count.

    This workshop is a distillation of the frameworks that have helped over 1,350 clients make their next move — faster, with more confidence, and into better roles than they thought were available to them.

    Everything you need to know.

    This workshop is designed specifically for professionals at Director, Head of, or VP level — people who have significant responsibility and visibility but feel their confidence isn't fully matching their capability. It is not suited to early-career professionals.
    No. This is a professional development workshop, not a therapy session. It's practical, structured, and action-oriented. You'll be challenged — in a good way — and you'll leave with tools, not just insights. The environment is private and high-trust, but the energy is executive, not exploratory.
    Many of the most impactful attendees at workshops like this are introverts. The goal isn't to turn you into an extrovert — it's to help you operate at full capacity as the leader you already are. Introverts often find the frameworks in this workshop particularly powerful because they give structure to what was previously instinct-dependent.
    Absolutely. Many attendees expense this through their L&D or professional development budget. A VAT invoice is available on request. Get in touch and I can provide any documentation your company requires.
    Full refund within 7 days of booking. After 7 days, your seat can be transferred to a colleague or a future event, but is non-refundable. Given the limited size of the group, this policy ensures everyone in the room is fully committed.
    The workshop is a complete, standalone experience. There is no hard sell. At the close of the day I'll briefly mention the option of continuing with 1:1 coaching for those who want to go deeper — but it's entirely optional and there's zero pressure.

    The room is waiting.
    Are you ready to own it?

    8 seats. One event. The professionals in that room will be the ones who decided their confidence was worth investing in. Reserve your place today.
