What We Cover

A focused month of coaching built around the things that matter most when you step into a new leadership role.

🗺

Your 90-Day Plan

The first 90 days set the tone for everything that follows. We build a clear, phased plan that gives you direction and momentum — without overwhelming you.

  • Month-by-month goals and actions
  • Early wins that build credibility
  • Knowing where to focus and what to park
🤝

Stakeholder Mapping

Understanding who matters, what they need, and how to get them onside early. We map your landscape and build your approach to managing it strategically.

  • Identify key relationships and dynamics
  • Build trust with peers, reports, and senior leaders
  • Navigate politics without losing your integrity
🎯

Leadership Presence

How you show up matters as much as what you deliver. We work on the way you communicate, carry yourself, and command a room — authentically.

  • Communicate with clarity and conviction
  • Project confidence without arrogance
  • Lead meetings, not just attend them

Delivering Early Impact

Results talk — especially early on. We identify where you can make a visible difference quickly, and how to position those wins to build your reputation.

  • Spot high-visibility quick wins
  • Prioritise without overextending
  • Turn performance into reputation
🧠

Managing Up & Across

Success in a new role isn't just about your team — it's about how you manage relationships in all directions. We build your strategy for this from day one.

  • Align with your manager's expectations
  • Build peer relationships that open doors
  • Handle pressure and scrutiny with composure
🏆

Confidence & Mindset

New roles bring self-doubt, pressure, and imposter syndrome — even for high performers. We address the inner game as much as the outer strategy.

  • Quieten the inner critic
  • Back yourself in high-pressure moments
  • Lead from a place of strength, not fear
