Onboarding Coaching
Mission
As external coaches, we support leaders (coachees) at the executive and senior management level in preparing for their new roles in organisations. We accompany individuals who wish to accelerate their onboarding process resulting in faster personal effectiveness in their new positions.
Timing of the Onboarding Coaching
- Our Onboarding Coaching is designed to support leaders through a carefully defined coaching process during the critical integration phase as they take on new positions, often in connection with a job transition, promotion, ongoing reorganization, or M&A transaction.
Goals
- Empower the coachee to effectively assume their new position, rapidly gain acceptance, and quickly grow into the defined role.
- Targeted use of reflection-inducing tools to secure personal positioning within the leadership team and among key stakeholders, identify obstacles, defuse potential conflict situations early on, and outline critical success factors in the new role.
- Acquisition of new options for action through coaching the leader in the process of finding solutions for better coping with critical leadership, stakeholder, or change situations.
