New Horizon for Experienced Leaders

Successful transitions don't just happen, they must be designed and supported.

Why it matters

You've invested significant time and resources into finding the right leader. The expectations are high and so are the risks.

A failed leadership transition costs far more than just the role itself: it affects team morale, business momentum, and culture.

When senior leaders are given the right support from day one, the return on that investment is tangible: faster impact, clearer direction, and stronger alignment with the organization.

Program goal

To support experienced leaders in navigating complex transitions with clarity, confidence, and strategic presence, so they can build trust, deliver results, and lead with authenticity.

This program is not about generic onboarding. It's about helping your leader step into their new role with grounded self-awareness, strong stakeholder alignment, and a clear plan to create long-term impact.

What’s included

Pre-engagement alignment

  • Takes place ideally 1–2 weeks before the formal start

  • Clarifying expectations, key success metrics, and organizational context

  • Goal-setting session between the leader, sponsor (HR/line manager), and coach

Individual coaching

  • Thorough self-assessment

  • 12 tailored sessions (60 min) via Zoom or in person

  • Practical tools, leadership reflection, and action planning

  • Highly customized to the leader’s role, context, and development areas

360 input process

  • It’s used to refine goals and shape coaching conversations

  • Qualitative stakeholder interviews or feedback survey (peers, manager, direct reports)

  • Creates valuable insight into early perceptions, team dynamics, and influence patterns

When it makes sense to bring in transition coaching support

This program is designed for situations where the transition is too critical to leave to chance. Ideal use cases include:

  • The leader is relocating from another country

  • There's a tight timeline for delivering early results

  • The line manager cannot provide hands-on onboarding support

  • Previous leaders in the role have failed, and this transition must succeed

  • The leader is entering a politically sensitive or high-pressure environment

  • You want to accelerate trust-building and ensure cultural fit from day one

  • You're seeing early warning signs - team resistance, low engagement, unclear direction

Outcomes

By the end of the engagement, your leader will have:

  • Clarity on how to shape culture and drive meaningful results

  • Stronger alignment with key stakeholders and team dynamics

  • A more grounded, empathetic and resilient leadership presence

  • A strategy to manage pressure and lead with impact under uncertainty

  • A clear and confident leadership stance in their new environment, aligned with the organization’s purpose

New Horizon for First-Time Leaders

Leading others starts with learning to lead yourself.

Why it matters

Becoming a manager for the first time is one of the most transformative - and vulnerable - moments in a person’s career.

High performers are often promoted for their results and potential, but few are prepared for what it truly means to lead others.

When a new manager learns to lead with clarity, confidence, and presence early on, you’re not just developing one person - you’re shaping the future of your organization’s culture.

Program goal

To support first-time managers in building the mindset, skillset, and self-awareness needed to lead themselves and their teams with authenticity and impact.

The goal is to make the shift from high-performing individual contributor to trusted, resilient people leader with confidence and intention.

  • Clarify role expectations and performance indicators

  • Define clear leadership goals and set a development commitment

  • Goal-setting session between the manager, sponsor (HR or line manager), and coach

  • Practical tools, leadership reflection, and action planning

  • 12 one-on-one coaching sessions (60 minutes via Zoom or in person)

  • Highly customized to the leader’s role, context, and development areas

    (e.g. around delegation, communication, and team dynamics)

360 input process

  • Used to co-create focus areas for coaching

  • Qualitative feedback gathered from peers, direct reports, and the manager
