Don't just change roles.

Most leaders in new roles do not fail due to lack of intelligence, qualifications, or motivation.

They fail because they:

Can not adapt to the new culture
Do not build a strong support network
Fail to quickly figure out how to get things done

Elevate your impact.

To be successful in your new role, you need a different approach.

With a Role Ready executive coaching plan, you can:

Rapidly acquire critical insights
Quickly assess your team
Build your strategy and gain early wins

Your Onboarding Blueprint

This five-session coaching package helps new executives, whether promoted internally or hired externally, become fully aligned with their role, team, and organization.

Session One:

Craft your onboarding hypothesis

We begin by identifying what success looks like in your first 100 days, uncovering the transition risks that matter most. Using a brief assessment, we compare what your new role demands versus your current readiness, surfacing your most important areas for development.

You will then develop a first-draft “Onboarding Hypothesis,” a clear statement of what the organization most needs from you now. This becomes the foundation for your early approach and evolves as you learn more about the culture and organization.

You gain a:

Clear definition of success for your role
Prioritized list of transition risks and capabilities to develop
Working hypothesis to guide your first 100 days

Session Two:

Build your stakeholder strategy

Executives succeed through influence. In this session, you identify the stakeholders whose support is essential, evaluate the current state of each relationship, and develop a targeted plan to engage them.

Complete a “Stakeholder Alignment Dashboard” exercise to analyze your relational strengths and gaps. You’ll leave with a tailored stakeholder listening and engagement plan designed to accelerate trust and alignment.

You gain a:

Map of your highest-value stakeholders
Relationship strategy for your first 30 days
Deeper understanding of how you build influence

Session Three:

Assess the organization

Before setting your vision for the role, you need to understand the culture, decision-making patterns, and team capabilities surrounding you. This session provides a structured way to scan the organization, including how decisions are made, what behaviors are rewarded, and where friction exists.

Also, conduct a thorough assessment of your team, including strengths, gaps, development needs, role fit, and early opportunities for support.

You gain a:

Clear picture of cultural norms and organizational realities
Honest evaluation of team capabilities and gaps
Insight into where you can add value fastest

Session Four:

Set your direction

Using a structured “Vision Dashboard,” you define your near-term vision, your top priorities, and the metrics that will signal progress. We then craft your leadership narrative, the message you’ll use to communicate what you’ve learned, where you’re headed, and what others can expect from you.

This narrative becomes the backbone of your early conversations with stakeholders, your team, and your peers.

You gain a:

Crisp vision for your function, team, or role
Three to five strategic priorities to focus on
Ready-to-deliver leadership narrative that builds alignment

Session Five:

Build and activate your 100-day plan

In this final session, we translate everything you’ve learned into a focused 100-Day Plan. You’ll define milestones, early wins, success metrics, and a communication rhythm that keeps everyone aligned. We also build your decision-making and operating cadence, the system that helps your team stay focused and accountable.

You gain a:

Complete 100-Day Onboarding Plan
Clear operating rhythm and decision framework
Confident roadmap for delivering early and sustained impact

Win your first 100 days with a program that works:

Built for execution

Unlike typical executive coaching that ends with ideas, this program delivers a practical roadmap and decision framework, so you start producing results, not just inspiration.

Stakeholder-aligned

By mapping key relationships early, you gather critical insight and build alignment, reducing risk and building credibility fast.

Reality, not theory focused

Our frameworks reflect real organizational context based on culture, team, org. structure, and more, ensuring your priorities make sense and are achievable.

Clear direction

We begin with a precise diagnostic to define what success looks like, so you know exactly where you stand and where you need to go.
