Executive Reputation Programme
A strategic communications and coaching programme for senior professionals navigating pivotal career moments
Executive Reputation Programme
At senior level, career progression is rarely straightforward.
Whether stepping into a bigger role, repositioning for the next move, or navigating a more complex or sensitive transition, how you communicate your story matters.
Experience and capability aren’t in question. The challenge is often knowing how to articulate it in a way that feels clear, credible and considered.
This is where communications expertise and performance preparation matter most.
Support for career defining moments.
We work with senior individuals at pivotal career moments, and with organisations who support them through these transitions.
For individuals
We support senior professionals across a range of scenarios, including:
Leaders preparing for their next role or promotion
Executives seeking to strengthen their leadership narrative and market positioning
Individuals navigating career transitions or periods of uncertainty
Senior professionals managing more complex or sensitive exits
For organisations
We support organisations in providing structured, senior-level support to employees during periods of transition, including during executive outplacement, leadership changes or restructuring.
Our work helps individuals to:
Communicate their experience appropriately and with confidence
Prepare for senior-level interviews and external conversations
Present their track record with clarity and consistency
Maintain professional credibility throughout the transition process
Our special collaboration
This is a specialist collaboration between reputation strategists Jonny Harris and Sarah Mason.
Our combined backgrounds span strategic communications, reputation management, law, journalism and executive coaching, bringing together complementary perspectives on how senior leaders are perceived and how they perform under scrutiny.
The Executive Reputation Programme is designed as a joined-up, discreet offer for those navigating important career moments, whether progressing towards a new role or managing a more complex transition.
Clients benefit from complementary expertise across narrative, reputation and performance, grounded in real-world experience and sound judgement.

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.
