The hardest call you make
Letting go of a senior manager, director, or executive is one of the hardest decisions a company makes. The business impact is real, and so is the human one. The people who helped build what you have deserve a considered exit and a genuine head start on what comes next.
Vertical Motion provides outplacement built for senior manager level and above. We help your departing leaders move on with clarity and confidence, and we protect the reputation you have spent years earning as an employer people respect.
How it works
Every engagement runs on the same system we use to coach sitting executives, not a generic resume workshop.
Your departing leaders get a structured read on how they lead, where they create the most value, and which roles genuinely fit. That clarity is the difference between chasing the first available opening and targeting the right next move. It is also what shortens the search and protects their confidence through a difficult transition.
On-Demand Career Coaching
One-on-one coaching with senior-level career coaches: positioning, search strategy, interview preparation, and offer negotiation, all tailored to director, VP, and C-suite roles. Your leaders reach for support at the moment a decision is in front of them, not on a fixed schedule that ignores how real searches unfold.
The business case
Supporting the leaders you transition protects the company you are still running.
Demonstrate genuine goodwill at exit and lower the odds of a costly, public dispute.
The leaders you transition may become clients, partners, or boomerang hires. Leave on terms that keep the door open.
Your remaining team is watching how you treat their peers. A dignified exit protects morale and trust.
Align your brand with a recognized executive coaching partner whose reputation reflects well on you.
