Executive Reputation Programme
A specialist strategic communications and coaching offer for senior professionals facing pivotal moments in their careers
Executive Reputation Programme
When a role ends unexpectedly, or in difficult circumstances, how you communicate can shape what happens next.
For many, this becomes a hurdle that needs to be navigated carefully.
You may not yet know how to explain what happened or how much to say. Your confidence may have taken a knock. Interviews can feel unfamiliar. Your professional network may have gone quiet. Your LinkedIn dormant. Ambitions may have shifted too.
This is where communications expertise and performance preparation matter most.
Support for your most defining career moments.
The Executive Reputation Programme is a discreet, reputation-led, practical communications and coaching offer that supports leaders navigating sensitive career moments.
We specialise in supporting senior professionals whose role has ended unexpectedly or in challenging circumstances, including redundancy, dismissal, or a contentious exit.
We provide a structured programme to help you regain momentum and move into your next role with clarity and credibility. We help you frame your story, prepare for difficult questions, and communicate with discipline across interviews, headhunters, stakeholders, and wider networks. Your reputation is protected throughout.
Our work is particularly effective when:
There is a gap, change or disruption to explain
You want to avoid defensiveness, oversharing or reputational risk
You need to sound measured, assured and consistent in front of multiple audiences
You will leave ready to move forward, with a settled narrative, tested language, and practical rehearsal for the conversations that will shape what comes next.
Our special collaboration
This is a specialist collaboration between reputation strategists Jonny Harris and Sarah Mason.
Between us, we bring backgrounds in strategic communications, reputation management, law, journalism and executive coaching.
We have designed the Executive Reputation Programme as a single, joined-up offer to help clients take control of their story and move into their next role with clarity and confidence.

As a qualified executive coach, she creates supportive, practical environments that help leaders to build new communication habits with confidence, particularly when navigating sensitive situations.

Jonny is a strategic communications specialist who focuses on reputation management and high-stakes media engagement. A qualified solicitor, accredited mediator, and former press regulator, he brings a rare understanding of how legal risk, media narratives, and public perception intersect.He has worked with senior leaders, founders and high-profile individuals through major career transitions, contentious exits, and periods of close regulatory, legal or media scrutiny. That experience means he understands both the formal processes clients may be navigating and the less formal, but equally important, court of public opinion.
Jonny helps clients define a clear leadership narrative, prepare for challenging interviews, panels, and board conversations, and make good decisions about what to say and how to say it. His style is calm, pragmatic and highly tailored to senior professionals.
