A CHALLENGING TRANSITION WITHOUT INTENTIONAL ACTION AFFECTS PERFORMANCE

Joining a new team and wanting to make the most of the opportunity.

Exploring an exit or job transition (c-suite, board or senior executive).

Taking on new responsibilities, programmes or starting a business.

Wanting to succeed and be intentional about pre-boarding, the first 100 days, the first 6 months and the first year.

Being unclear where to go next or what to do whilst having a sense that something needs to change. .

Understand the vision but asking how to get us there.

I could write an essay on how I work with people and teams in transition. I combine a whole array of approaches that straddle psychology, science, conflict resolution, art and design – embracing that change requires ‘flow’. Getting out of your own way is a constant dance. I support high performing professionals on that dance below the surface.

I love the below saying that I learned at an exhibition:

“Biting the finger of amazement” is a gesture known in Persian which indicates intense feelings of wonder or shock.

If you or your team are in transition and need help with dealing with your own wonder or shock, do get in touch.
