EXECUTIVE CAREER & TRANSITION ADVISORY
Your Next Move Is Too Important to Leave to a Generic Playbook.
At your level, the stakes are too high for a formula.
You need a framework that adapts to you, your industry, your goals, your timeline, and your life.
WHO THIS ADVISORY IS FOR
Built for Leaders Who Are Ready for What's Next.
You’re not a job seeker. You’re a leader making a deliberate move. The advisory is built for that.
Director to VP
15–20 years in. High performer who is ready to break through to the executive tier, but needs a strategy, not just a resume update.
VP to SVP / EVP
Already at the executive level. Scope is expanding, a board seat is in view, or the current role has stalled, and the next move requires precision.
Senior Leader in Transition
Exiting a long-tenured role, navigating a restructuring, or returning after a gap. The market has changed. The approach needs to match.
THE CHALLENGES EXECUTIVES FACE
The Rules Changed.
Most People's Approach Didn't.
After 20 years in white-collar leadership, the skills that got you here, delivering results, building teams, and navigating corporate politics, aren’t the same skills that get you the next role. The market has contracted. The competition is sharper. And the generic approach you’ve watched other people use? It doesn’t work at your level.
Most executives come to Henning Advisory after months of frustration: applying without responses, interviewing well but losing to “a stronger fit,” or simply not knowing how to position 20 years of complexity into a narrative that resonates in 30 minutes.
The challenge isn’t your experience. It’s how you’re presenting it, and who you’re listening to for advice.
“After conducting my job search for several months with limited success using the approach that had yielded multiple offers in weeks throughout my entire career, it was clear the playing field had changed. I knew a new approach was required.”

WHAT THE ADVISORY DELIVERS
Not a Playbook. A Framework Built Around You.
1
Narrative & Positioning
Your 15-20+ years distilled into a clear, compelling story. Resume, LinkedIn, and elevator pitch that work together as one cohesive brand.
2
Strategic Market Access
Unconventional methods for accessing the market before roles are ever posted. Nick’s recruiter background means you navigate the executive market the way insiders do, not the way applicants do.
3
Executive Interview Mastery
STAR story development, C-suite communication, and the mindset shift from candidate to peer. You walk in as an equal, not an applicant.
4
Offer Negotiation +
Total compensation architecture, negotiation strategy, and onboarding advisory. The engagement continues through your first 90 days and as long as it creates value.
“Nick advised me through two major career transitions over five years. Each move was intentional and resulted in a larger role, broader scope of responsibility, expanded team leadership, and meaningful compensation growth. More importantly, each step was built strategically on the last rather than feeling like a lateral reset.
This was not transactional coaching. It was true executive advisory.”
