Become the senior leader you want to be

Progressing into a senior role comes with a whole bundle of challenges — new peers, new cultures, stakeholder influencing, upskilling, the art of networking… and politics, of course.

It’s an exciting move, but if you’re having a few doubts, you’re not alone.

As a transition coach, I help you untangle confusing thoughts and move forward confidently. You might have already transitioned, or are just about to. Perhaps you’re going through the interview process.

Transition coaching helps you to find your own leadership style. It’s a chance to discover the unique qualities you bring to the role, and to establish your place within it.

I work with senior leaders within law, accountancy and professional services. After 25 years in leadership and 10 years’ consulting experience, I understand the challenges — and the techniques for overcoming them.

When senior leaders perform at their best, everyone ups their game. By investing in transition coaching, you strengthen the whole business.

Which challenges can transition coaching help overcome?

When you’ve put everything into getting there, admitting you need help can feel strange. Actually, it’s perfectly normal. We’re all a work in progress, never the finished article.

I’ve already helped many leaders unravel the complexities of transitioning into a new role. Here are just a few of the most common issues:

  • You worry about letting people down. Are you good enough for the job?

  • You’ve been promoted to partner. You’re not sure what’s expected of you.

  • You’re struggling to let go of your old role.

  • You’ve got there, but it’s not what you expected… or hoped for.

  • You’re one amongst many senior leaders. It’s like starting all over again.

  • What sort of leader should you be? You’re unsure about your leadership style.

This is a confidential space. You can be honest and open with no risk of judgement — and if you’re not sure how you feel, that’s fine. I’ll ask the right questions so we’ll quickly get to the heart of the matter.

How transition coaching works

The transition coaching process is constructive, positive and driven by objectives which we set together.

It’s about getting clarity on where you are now, where you’d like to be, the obstacles in the road, and the best ways to overcome them.

I ask questions, listen carefully, reflect back and gently challenge negative assumptions or limiting beliefs.

In the process, you’ll probably learn new things about yourself and over time, you’ll start to find your own answers. Some of them may surprise you.

Pay as you go, or choose between packages of 3 or 6 sessions. There’s usually about a month between them — enough time to practise new ways of doing things — although this isn’t set in stone. It can be longer or shorter.
