Working with Organisations

World-Class Athletes Don't Navigate Career-Defining Moments Alone. Neither Should Your Leaders.

When elite performers step into new teams or higher levels of competition, they don't "figure it out" alone. They have performance ecosystems—coaches, strategists, support crew—designed to accelerate time to impact.

Yet when it comes to leadership transitions, most organisations expect exactly that.

You invest significantly in hiring or promoting VP+ leaders—competitive packages, executive search, robust onboarding. Then support disappears after 90 days, right when leaders need strategic thought partnership most.

My research reveals the critical gap: Months 3-9 are where exceptional performance is forged—or where leaders plateau. Yet this is precisely when organisational support vanishes.

The cost? 40% of executives fail within 18 months. Turnover costs 3-4x salary. And leaders who stay but don't accelerate perform well below their potential.

Drawing from both the sporting and corporate worlds, I've spent 20 years architecting Legacy Ecosystems for VP+ leaders—bespoke strategic partnerships designed around the leader's specific transition, organisational context, and legacy goals using The Legacy Accelerator™ framework built on proprietary research.

Coaching as a strategic advantage

The Legacy Accelerator™: Proven Methodology, Tailored Application

Built on proprietary research into VP+ transitions, The Legacy Accelerator™ is a structured framework specifically designed for leaders navigating the five pivotal moments. It's not generic coaching—it's a proven methodology that protects your investment and accelerates time to impact.

Each engagement includes:

→ Core framework addressing the months 3-9 critical window
→ Pivotal moment-specific design aligned to the leader's transition (promotion, transformation, global move, onboarding, parent returner)
→ Customisation based on organisational context, seniority, and strategic priorities
→ Modular depth - ecosystem identification and activation, stakeholder strategy, legacy architecture, and more

It's structured enough to be proven. Flexible enough to fit your leader.

The five pivotal moments:

✦ Internal promotions to senior, more complex roles
✦ Leading transformation—AI, digital, or organisational change
✦ Global moves and international assignments
✦ Onboarding senior external hires
✦ Parent returners stepping into expanded leadership

How Strategic Partnerships Work

Every engagement is co-created based on your leader's needs, but typically includes:

→ Strategic thought partnership during the critical months 3-9 window
→ Ecosystem architecture - identifying and activating the relationships that accelerate impact
→ Stakeholder strategy - navigating political dynamics and building influence
→ Legacy design - working backwards from the impact they want to create
→ Regular touchpoints - frequency and format tailored to the leader's context

Engagements typically span 6-12 months, with intensity calibrated to the transition's complexity and the leader's seniority.
