★★★★★

"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.

Your Personal Pitch.
As a value proposition.

At senior levels, clarity of value isn't about listing skills. It's about articulating strategic impact, decision-making, and commercial outcomes. Eight structured exercises walk you through exactly that — building a personal pitch you can use in CVs, on LinkedIn, in interviews, and in any career conversation that matters.

    Your workbook lands instantly. By subscribing, you agree to receive occasional emails from Ronan Kennedy. Unsubscribe anytime.

    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 email support and all workbooks and frameworks used.

    What's the difference between the programmes? +

    They're built for different moments, not just different budgets. Land the Role is a focused sprint to win your next position — CV, interviews, strategy, done in six sessions. Lead with Confidence is for the first 90 days after you land a senior role: the highest-stakes stretch of any career, where the cost of getting it wrong is far higher than the fee. Beyond the eight sessions, you get me on call for three months — so when a hard meeting, a big decision or a moment of doubt hits, you're never facing it alone. Leading at the Top extends that same partnership across six months for senior executives. Most people don't buy more sessions — they buy having a coach in their corner through a transition that matters.

    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? +

    Sessions are valid for 6 months from the start of session one and are fully transferable within that period. If life gets in the way, there's plenty of room to pause and pick back up — and you can 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.

    You know you need to move.
    Something is getting in the way.

    You have the experience and the ability. But the next step feels harder than it should, and you're not sure why.

    You've been passed over, or you're being managed out

    Something has shifted at work and you can feel it. You need to decide whether to push, wait or go, and you haven't anyone neutral to think it through with.

    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 can't say clearly what you want next

    You know what you've done. Saying what you're actually for, in one sentence, is harder than it looks.

    The search is dragging on

    You're applying, reaching out and waiting. It feels passive, and there's no real plan behind it.

    One hour. Real questions. Live coaching.

    01
    A short opening on one theme

    Ten minutes on something senior people get stuck on: pitching yourself, handling an exit, negotiating, deciding whether to stay or go.

    02
    Hot-seat coaching

    A few people bring a real situation and I coach them through it live. Everyone else learns from watching it happen. You can volunteer, or just listen.

    03
    Open questions

    The last part is yours. Ask whatever you came with.

    04
    One next step

    Everyone leaves with one concrete thing to do in the next week.

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

    This session is for you if:

    → You have 10+ years of experience and you're thinking about what's next
    → You're facing a decision: a promotion, an exit, an offer, a change
    → You'd like to see how coaching works before committing to anything

    Ronan Kennedy

    I've spent 12 years helping senior professionals make their next move: Directors, VPs and C-suite leaders who are excellent at what they do but struggle to say 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.

    I run these sessions because a lot of people need a sounding board more than a programme. If you want to go further afterwards, I'll tell you how. If not, that's completely fine.

    Everything you need to know.

    Yes. There's no catch and no card needed. At the end I'll briefly mention how to work with me one-to-one, for anyone who wants that. That's it.
    No. Plenty of people just listen and learn from watching others get coached. If you'd like to be coached, you can volunteer when you sign up or on the day.
    Sessions aren't recorded, and everyone agrees at the start that what's said stays in the room. You don't need to name your company or anyone else.
    It's designed for professionals with 10 or more years of experience, typically managers, Directors and above, who are working out their next move. It isn't aimed at early-career job seekers.
    Once a month, at lunchtime Irish time. When you request a spot, I'll email you the next date and the Zoom link. If it doesn't suit, you can join a later one.
