A More Personal Approach to Outplacement
Personalized, one-to-one outplacement support that gives employees the individual attention they need, at a substantially lower cost than many large outplacement firms.
When an employee leaves an organization because of a layoff, restructuring, or position elimination, how that transition is handled matters.
I provide personalized outplacement services designed to help departing employees move forward with confidence, clarity, and a practical plan for what comes next.
A Thoughtful Way to Support Departing Employees
Losing a job is more than an employment change. It can affect confidence, identity, financial security, and a person's sense of direction, particularly for someone who has spent many years with an organization.
Providing meaningful outplacement support demonstrates that your organization cares about employees even as they leave. It can make a difficult transition more compassionate while giving departing employees the professional guidance and practical tools they need to move forward.
More Than a Resume and a Job Search
Effective outplacement should address both the practical and personal sides of career transition.
I help individuals identify their strengths, recognize the value they bring to an employer, rebuild confidence, and develop a realistic strategy for their next step.
That may include developing a stronger resume and LinkedIn profile, preparing for interviews, creating a networking and job search strategy, exploring a new career direction, or simply gaining clarity about what comes next.
The goal is not simply to help someone create a resume. It is to help them feel prepared, confident, and equipped to move forward.
What Makes My Approach Different
Large outplacement firms often provide a combination of online resources, webinars, group programs, and standardized career tools.
My approach is intentionally more personal.
Each employee works directly with me, one-to-one. I take the time to understand the individual's experience, goals, concerns, strengths, and career needs, and then tailor our work accordingly.
There is no one-size-fits-all program.
One employee may need intensive job search support. Another may need help rebuilding confidence after an unexpected layoff. Someone else may be ready to explore an entirely new career direction.
The support is based on what that individual actually needs.
Because I operate as an independent career coach rather than a large national outplacement firm, I am also able to provide this highly personalized support at a substantially lower cost than many traditional outplacement providers.
Employers do not have to choose between individualized service and responsible use of their outplacement budget.

Flexible Support for Your Organization
I work with organizations to create outplacement support based on the needs of the employees involved.
Services can be provided for individual employees, small groups of affected employees, managers, professionals, and senior executives.
Whether you are supporting one employee after a position elimination or several employees following an organizational change, we can develop an approach that provides the right level of support for each person.
