Leadership transition support and mentoring

Experienced perspective for leaders stepping into bigger roles.

For new Heads of Marketing, Communications and adjacent leadership roles who are stepping into broader responsibility and want experienced perspective as they do so. This is practical, experience-led support — not formal coaching — focused on helping you become more strategic, more influential, and more confident in senior environments.

We can work through priorities, stakeholder dynamics, leading teams, decision-making under pressure, and how to shift from delivering work to setting direction. The emphasis is on clarity, judgement and progress — grounded in real experience of senior leadership.

01

Clarity in a bigger role

Step back from day-to-day noise and get clear on what really matters in a senior position — where to focus your time, how to prioritise effectively, and what leadership actually expects from you now.

02

Confidence in senior environments

Build confidence operating in more complex rooms — with executives, boards and stakeholders — understanding how decisions are made, how influence works, and how to show up with credibility without over-performing or second-guessing yourself.

03

Perspective from experience

Draw on practical insight from someone who’s already navigated the transition you’re making. Get honest, experience-based perspective on challenges, trade-offs and judgement calls — not theory or formal coaching models.

1

Step 1: Getting context

We start with a conversation about your role, your context and what you’re stepping into. The aim is to understand what’s changed, where the pressure points are, and what support would be most useful right now.

2

Step 2: Making sense of priorities

We focus on clarifying what actually matters in your role — where to spend your time, what to stop doing, and how to approach decisions that now carry more weight or visibility.

Step 3: Navigating senior dynamics

We work through the realities of operating at a more senior level: stakeholder expectations, influence, decision-making under pressure, and how to lead teams without defaulting to doing the work yourself.

Step 4: Ongoing perspective and support

Support can be light-touch and flexible — regular check-ins, ad hoc conversations, or support around specific moments or decisions — shaped around what’s genuinely helpful rather than a fixed programme.

A standalone conversation designed to give clarity, perspective and confidence around a particular issue — whether that’s stepping into a new role, handling a difficult situation, or sense-checking decisions at senior level.
