Executive Onboarding

Executive Coaching through the first 100 days

Senior managers joining a new organisation are keen to start making a difference as soon as possible. They want to ensure that people recognise that they have been a good hire and they want to be productive.

Our ‘First 100 days’ executive coaching programme works alongside functional and technically oriented induction programmes. The programme focusses specifically on relationship building and navigating the organisational politics and power bases that are so influential to a new executive’s speed to impact.

Each programme is designed to fit the specific context and needs of the coachee and organisation; typical coaching sessions may include:

Setting the stage for the first week
Navigating organisational power structures, politics and preferences
Determining the dynamics of your new team
Managing a potentially tricky relationship, for example with an internal candidate for your role who was not appointed
Clarifying and negotiating expectations of your role, or of the roles of direct reports and others
Milestones in the first 30, 50, 75 days
Influencing to gain the support you need during the journey
Understanding different perspectives of the business, its culture, strategies, value offerings, competitive environment, customer perceptions and challenges

The coaching programme commonly includes a mix of face-to-face and telephone sessions. For example:
3 x three hour face-to-face sessions
2 x one hour phone sessions
1 x one hour post programme support session (phone) six months after start date

This coaching programme is specifically designed to help new senior executives to be more productive more quickly, but also has wider benefits for the organisation
