Planning for Your Senior Leader Transition
Executives need more support during times of transition than many companies assume. On top of the circumstances and emotions of the separation is all that comes with preparing for the next opportunity. For many, it’s been years or decades since they’ve presented themselves as a candidate, updated their resume, thought about networking, or crafted a focused narrative. They’ll also need support in shaping their positive departure story.
We’ll help you navigate through change
Supporting Your Departing Leader Through to What’s Next
We believe that departing leaders need truly differentiated outplacement support to ensure that they are looking and moving forward. And while no organization relishes making difficult choices about their workforce or managing a high-profile departure, when respect, compassion, and appropriate resources accompany those decisions, it creates a stronger outcome for all involved.

Stephen Bariteau
Services: Transition Services
When his ten-year executive role with a healthcare foundation ended, Stephen knew he wanted to continue making a difference in pediatric or adult healthcare. But, with only a handful of suitable positions available, he realized the job search would take time. Fortunately, his employer provided access to Transition Services as part of his departure package. Through one-on-one guidance and accountability, structure, and expertise, in just a few months he landed a role as EVP Philanthropy and Chief Development Officer.
You have questions. We have answers.
We recommend outplacement benefits be offered as soon as possible. Do not wait for a severance to be signed/validated. Outplacement is most accepted when someone can start working with our consultants as soon as they learn about their transition. If the leader does not sign their severance, we will end our services and will not invoice the company.
No. Navigate Forward exclusively supports executives. Our approach works well at the Senior Director level and above. We do not offer outplacement support for the broader organization.
There are no time limits to our support as we are outcome-based. Executive job search is highly variable for each person. We support our clients until they land in a new role or reach their desired destination.
