Transition Coaching
Getting you or your organization from here to there.
Transitions are some of the most challenging times for leaders, teams and organizations. Whether you are dealing with a change at your level as a leader, at the team level or on a larger scale such as rapid growth or M&A, transitions and change have the power to bring about excitement and opportunities along with stress, conflict, and even failure.
I have worked in transformational change at the organizational and individual level for over two decades. I have a passion for helping leaders, teams and organizations define where they are, where they want to go, and actually get there successfully.
What does this mean at the individual partner/leader level?
More organizations are no longer leaving their transitioning leaders to the old "swim or sink" approach. Individual transition coaching accelerates successful transitions by providing individualized support, skills and resources during critical times.

While no two transition coaching engagements are the same, frequent transition topics include:
- Organizing your learning and accelerating your transition
- Defining where you are (the "here") and clarifying expectations and objectives and how success will be measured, by you and your stakeholders, along with the key outcomes and timelines (the "there" you want to get to.)
- Building relationships
- Mapping out a strategy
- Building on your strengths, helping you acquire a new mindset and skills you need to succeed in your new role and world
- Dealing with the emotional side of transition and change
- Supporting your learning and resilience through the ups and downs that inevitably come with change
- Communicating effectively about the change while managing your energy, your time and stress
What does the mean at the team or organizational level?
Same thing on a larger scale clarifying:
- Where we are
- What is working well and what strengths we can we build on
- Where we want to be and where we need to grow
- How we get there
- How we communicate and manage our stress, emotions and energy through the transition
- How we hold ourselves and others accountable for the work ahead, pick ourselves up when we get stuck, and celebrate our learning and victories.
