WHY HENNING ADVISORY
The objections we hear and the truth.
OBJECTION
We already have an outplacement firm on contract.
Contracted firms handle volume through junior coaches and online portals. At the Manager–Director-VP–C-Suite level, your departing leaders deserve direct access to a senior advisor who has sat in thousands of interviews and negotiated tens of millions in compensation. Henning Advisory is not a volume play; it is a signal that the company cares for its people.
OBJECTION
Is the investment really justified for a Manager-level exit?
A Manager-level leader lands 20–40% faster with tailored advisory. That means fewer weeks of emotional fallout, fewer callbacks to HR, and a transition story your team hears. The cost often fits as a single line item in the severance package, and the goodwill it creates is worth far more.
OBJECTION
We need someone who can start immediately.
Because Nick limits the number of active outplacement clients at any one time, those who are in get his full attention from day one. Onboarding happens within 48 hours of engagement. HR receives a dedicated point of contact and progress updates on request.

OBJECTION
Isn’t this just outplacement coaching under a different name?
Coaching asks a leader to find their own answers through guided questions. Advisory means Nick tells them exactly what to do, backed by twenty-plus years reading both sides of the hiring table, fifteen as a recruiter and eight advising senior leaders through transition. HR isn’t buying a motivational exercise. HR is buying direct, informed direction from someone who has sat on the other side of the interview table for two decades.
Why we limit active outplacements
Nick works directly with every client. Not a team. Not a system. When you work with Henning Advisory, your departing executive gets Nick’s personal attention, the same advisor who placed 400+ senior leaders and negotiated over $75M in compensation. To protect that quality, we accept only a limited number of concurrent outplacement engagements.
When capacity is available, we onboard immediately. When it is not, we will tell you honestly and help you plan for it.
