What we do: Transition Coaching

Never has there been a time where it has been more important for leaders to be well so that they can lead well.

Workplaces were challenging even before COVID-19. The pressure on leaders today is significant and at times, unrelenting.

Along with the existing workplace challenges, leaders now face the added pressure of managing remote or hybrid teams and keeping them engaged. In these uncertain times, leaders need to be inspiring and comforting while also pushing on performance.

Combined with responsibilities outside of work, it’s not surprising that leaders are feeling the strain. While there is growing awareness that wellbeing is a key lever to managing personal and professional challenges while sustaining performance, it is easier said than done!

The need now, is to find a practical way forward beyond the rhetoric.

Our approach is leader-led, practical and evidence-based. We help leaders to increase their self-awareness, knowledge, and skills to foster good mental health and wellbeing for themselves and their people. This in turn, creates tangible business outcomes such as stronger engagement, greater resilience, improved productivity and sustained high performance.

We use the GLWS® to assess wellbeing and design bespoke solutions to help your leaders meet their leadership responsibilities and manage their current challenges, in and outside of work.

The GLWS delivers personal insights into what shapes leaders’ ability to perform at their best. It is a holistic tool that goes further than other wellbeing surveys by delving deeper, focusing on the ‘whole person’; by tackling the ‘silent’ derailers in today’s fast-paced, uncertain, ambiguous and complex times. At the team level, the GLWS drills down to specific wellbeing impacts, facilitating a deeper shared understanding about what strategies can sustain team vitality and energy for the long haul.

Our Work-Life Transition Leadership Coaching supports leaders to build sustainable careers.

Our four session (5-hour) model includes:

Session 1: 1.5 hours

Introductions, History and Coaching Goals/Contract

As leaders move through different stages of the leadership pipeline (new leader, leader of leaders, divisional leader), each passage requires a transition in values, behaviours and skills. This session introduces this idea and helps each leader identify how they want to improve their life-work wellbeing.

Session 2: 1 hour

Tailored Transition Tactics

What makes a leader successful early on, will not necessarily guarantee success at subsequent levels of the career ladder. Coaching your leaders through these transition points, can accelerate the process of re-skilling and facilitate successful transitions.

Session 3: 1.5 hours
