They're talking about Leadingenius

Hello Anne-Laure, all is well for me in my new role; it matches perfectly with what we discussed together during my transition. A big thank you for your support during the transition phase. All the best!

Global Procurement Director – Outplacement | Career Transition

What I valued most was having an external point of view on my projects. I also got a lot of advice on Linkedin profile and resumé, which definitely played a role in my finding a new job in the industry I wanted to work in.

EMEA Legal Counsel - Career coaching | Career Transition

I wanted to thank you once again for your caring and enlightening support during this hectic period. Wishing you all the best.

Medical Doctor - Career coaching | Career transition

Thank you so much for your support and help and for pushing me to keep looking and giving me paths to search down that I wouldn’t have known on my own. You were always full of options of things to do; I think without your support, I would have given up much more easily and not known what to do.

Healthcare Professional - Career transition | Job search

My first few weeks in this organisation have been amazing. It is an incredibly fascinating place to be and I have the added bonus of knowing exactly why I get out of bed in the mornings. I look into the future and think of all the things I can do in this place!

Learning & Development Manager - Job search | Career transition

For me, the most powerful was gaining self-confidence: I feel empowered to go out into the world, communicate my talents and claim the jobs I want ! I would definitely recommend Leadingenius!

CSR Project Manager – Career coaching | Job search

The coaching is very human, personalized and professional : in fact, Anne-Laure’s added value doesn’t stop with our discussions. She makes suggestions in relation to what we discussed : in my case, the offer for my new position (which I got)!

Director – Skills Assessment | Job search

Hello Anne-Laure,
Done! I have just been unanimously nominated by the board! A press release is due tomorrow during the day! Thank you for your help, your support...to have been open to support me for a Director position. THANK YOU!

Director - Career coaching | Executive Interview preparation

All sessions have had a positive impact on my development. Thanks to the program, I was able to sort out my ideas and clarify my future. I was able to confirm the career path I was in and to confirm I was legitimate in my current job. I gained confidence for my future.

Digital Project Manager – Skills Asssessment

Anne-Laure is a pleasant and positive person. She is a good listener and understands quickly. I can only recommend her services!

Chief Operating Officer - Skills assessment

I would say that the great value of this program is that in addition to doing a "classic" skills assessment, your benevolence and knowledge of the professional world also allowed a real reflection on concrete and current issues.

Manufacturing Leader - Skills assessment

Thank you very much Anne-Laure! I got a great job! I got the job in a fast and controlled manner, I had good insights into the company I was joining thanks to the great preparatory discussions about the company and recruitment process. I liked the personalized, in-depth, fast and to-the-point quality of your service and I must say that the programme totally exceeded my expectations. I would recommend your services further, without a doubt.

VP Legal EMEA – Outplacement

The services provided by Leadingenius were excellent and the advice and practical guidance provided by them to help me compile a really first-class CV, that would catch the attention of a potential employer, was superb. Suffice to say that within a relatively short time I secured a new senior sales position within the MedTech industry and on appointment, the quality of my CV was highlighted as being very positive.

International Sales Director - Outplacement

Anne-Laure coached me during my transition, finding a new challenge and employer. Having to move on after working 15 years focussing on my job, I found her knowledge and energy to be of great use and support. Her methodology and process were well mapped out. Don’t underestimate the power of the network and a great CV. Anne-Laure provided me with skill sets to find a new challenge within just a few months!

Global Supply Chain Director - Outplacement

Before our leadership coaching sessions, I felt I was trapped in a dead end and with no legitimacy as a leader. Thanks to the coaching sessions, I became aware that I was legitimate and I understood what was expected of me. I then quickly saw that what I was implementing was very well perceived (and actually expected!) by both my boss and my team. Thank you!

Training Director - Leadership coaching

Very professional, tactful, assertive but not aggressive, inspiring action and self-confidence.

Group Supply Chain Sustainability - Leadership coaching

Before working with Leadingenius, I was feeling a lot of stress due to the complexity and amount of tasks to complete, while leading my team in the most confident and efficient way. Within a couple of months, I managed to put in place ways to prioritize activities and communicate them efficiently to the team. I really thank Leadingenius for the great support and for helping me get peace of mind on many aspects, as well as boosting my confidence and leadership skills!

CMO Chief Marketing Officer - Leadership coaching

Working on leadership, organization, communication, and self-confidence has enabled me to be a better leader, and be on top of the game for myself and the team. These methods now work in the long run and allow me to drastically reduce my stress level and increase my confidence in giving the right direction to my team.

COO Chief Operating Officer - Leadership coaching

I highly recommend Anne-Laure to anyone who is considering coaching to further their career, enhance leadership skills, and strengthen various competencies. She provided extremely valuable insights and resources that I continue to use today and share with others. She is an expert coach in many aspects including leadership presence, stakeholder management, communication, and development of high performing teams. Lastly we worked closely as I developed my “First 90 Days” plan as I started a new role as VP Marketing; it was great to have her support during that critical onboarding time.

What is outplacement ?

An outplacement programme generally subsidised by an employer as a support measure following layoff decisions (individual or collective). The employer entrusts a partner specialised in outplacement and career coaching with the mission of helping its laid-off employees or executives to enable them to quickly reposition themselves on the job market, find new positions or change careers.

What is the difference between outplacement and career coaching ?

An outplacement programme is an external professional service mandated – and usually financed – by an employer in the context of a contract termination, whether because of restructuring or not.

The main objective of outplacement is to focus energy and time on finding a job that matches an individual’s competencies and aspirations, thanks to:

Personalised support
Individual and/or group sessions
Practical advice for job searches
Work on job applications (resume, summary, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and networking)
Relevant information about the job market
Role-playing for interview preparation

Career coaching is professional coaching, that focuses on all aspects of your career. Coaching (following a methodology usually conducted by a certified professional coach) aims at enabling the coachee to find resources and solutions.

The objective of career coaching is to clearly define, with the client, one or more career objectives and to work towards achieving them through questions, exercises, and role-playing. The results of a career coaching programme can be a new position, a promotion, or a new career direction, although not necessarily. It can also be a career plan, a clear vision of career strategy, a performance improvement or a major career decision.

To learn more, please read our article on the difference between outplacement, career transition consulting, career coaching and skills assessment

How long does an outplacement programme last ?

An outplacement programme generally lasts between 6 and 12 months.

When does the outplacement programme take place?

Coaching sessions are planned during working hours with the coachee.

The number and frequency of sessions will depend on the agreement with the company and the selected programme. The frequency of the sessions will also depend on the needs and mindset of the exiting employee.

What is included in the outplacement programme at Leadingenius?

The programme’s content will depend on the duration and budget agreed with the employer. In general terms, it includes:

Personalised, one-on-one sessions
Coaching on job search strategy
Enhancement of job search materials (CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile)
Networking strategy
Interview preparation
A support on issues related to career and job searching

As numerous discussions and exchanges occur, we build a real partnership where all opportunities and questions can be shared in full confidence. We may offer additional services at the company’s request, such as longer or more intensive programmes, coworking space for one or several days a week, personality and leadership assessments, or coaching during the first 90 days of a new job. We would be happy to discuss your needs and create a tailor-made proposal.

How do I start an outplacement programme with Leadingenius?

If the company already has a supplier agreement with Leadingenius, a request from the company will generate a first contact with the manager within 48 hours. An initial meeting is diarised where the programme’s process and content are presented and discussed. Then, the coach and the exiting employee/leader agree on the dates and frequency of the ensuing sessions.

If there is no supplier agreement between the company and Leadingenius, a request from the company will generate a first contact to understand the company’s needs and draft a proposal. Once the proposal is accepted, Leadingenius will contact the exiting employee and proceed as above.

A customised process can be set up depending on the company’s request.

How much does an outplacement programme with Leadingenius cost ?

The cost of outplacement programs is calculated after our first meeting. The pricing profile depends on various factors; however, the overall price will be considerably lower than the costs of potential litigation and a bad image.

Our company is already working with an outplacement provider. Is it useful to have a second one ?

Yes. Even if your company has an outplacement provider, it is useful to have a second service for three key reasons:

Every person is unique and has different needs, especially during the challenging period of losing a job. Having a second provider will give both the employer and employee more flexibility to find the best match. The opportunity to choose his/her outplacement partner is the first step towards taking control of their own career.
Depending on the sector type, position, and geography, choosing a local provider that knows the regional market can be an advantage for a personalised job search.
One service can be more suitable than another: within the organisation levels (employee, manager, executive).

Where does Leadingenius operate ?

Leadingenius supports companies based mainly in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, including Geneva, Lausanne, Nyon, Rolle, Morges, and surrounding areas. For other regions, support sessions can be carried out by videoconference (Zoom, Teams, or other).

How confidential are exchanges between Leadingenius and the client ?

All information shared by the company or by the coachee before or during the outplacement programme is protected by professional secrecy.
