A step upThey’ve just been promoted.
The step up is real and the stakes are visible. Support at the start helps them find their feet sooner and avoid the early mistakes that are hardest to undo.
For organisations
One person. One situation. Something more bespoke.
You’re not necessarily looking for leadership development. You have a specific person you want to support. They’re good, and you need them to succeed.
When organisations bring me in.
An early warningSomething is starting to go wrong.
You can see it, and perhaps they can too. An outside perspective helps them understand what’s happening and decide what to do before it becomes something bigger.
A critical roleThey’re moving into a role that matters.
A bigger remit, new stakeholders or responsibility they haven’t carried before. They need somewhere to think it through properly with someone who has.
A transitionA difficult change is coming.
A restructure, a merger or a change at the top will ask a lot of them. They’ll handle it better with a place to prepare, test their thinking and review what happens.
This doesn’t replace your programmes.
You may already have an L&D provider, a coaching panel, internal training, an employee assistance programme or a leadership programme. They all have their place.
This is for when one person’s situation needs something more individual: judgement from someone who has carried senior commercial responsibility, applied directly to the situation they’re facing.
When you’re the sponsor
The agenda belongs to the leader. The work starts with their reality, not a predefined programme. Before we begin, we agree the scope, the fees and what, if anything, is shared with you, so that everyone knows where they stand.
