Case Study - Supporting Transition into a Senior Leadership Role

Context

A senior leader transitioning into a more demanding, high-profile role within a large organisation. The individual had been recently promoted and was experiencing a lack of confidence and uncertainty about their ability to perform at this level.

Approach

Coaching focused on developing greater self-awareness, confidence and understanding of their leadership approach. This included noticing and exploring patterns of thinking, reflecting on past experience and trying out new ways of being. We also addressed stakeholder relationships and an authentic approach to leading a team.

Outcome

Over 6 sessions, the individual developed significantly greater confidence and a strong sense of legitimacy in their role. They established a clear leadership approach and successfully built and led a high-performing team.

Client feedback:

“Kate is an extremely warm person, has a positive outlook and is a realist. There is nothing I didn’t feel I could share with Kate and in doing so, I was able to overcome things that were standing in the way of success. Kate’s real strength was that she was able to look at my life as a whole and didn’t just focus on my career. I found this to be really important, as one impacts the other, which is not something I had really considered before. She is someone that listens intently, challenges your thinking and encourages you to think differently about situations and reflect. I started to feel excited about my new role for the first time, in a very long time. I found the coaching with Kate to be the most valuable thing I have ever done in my career. Kate has helped shape me into a high performing leader, but most importantly, helped me truly believe in myself for the first time in my life.”
