Focused Transition: Transition Coaching for Senior or Middle Leaders Stepping into New Roles in International Schools
Step into your new international leadership role with clarity and confidence. We’ll cut through the noise and focus on what matters most: what you want to make happen for your school, students, teams, community, and yourself. Together, we’ll refine your 90-Day Plan so you can accelerate your impact and lead with calm authority from day one.

What’s Included:
A one-hour coaching conversation prior to you starting your new role; giving you space to reflect and set your intentions with clarity.
Six bespoke 60-minute coaching conversations over three months, which focus on what you want to make happen; for your school, your students, your teams, your community, and yourself.
Support to refine your 90-Day Plan, ensuring your first steps are purposeful, strategic, and sustainable.
