Leadership transition

Leadership transition coaching for senior leaders preparing their next role

A leadership transition is rarely a technical problem. It is a moment where your judgement, your standards and your energy are recalibrated at the same time — often while you are still delivering in the previous role.

Aligned in Motion works with experienced leaders in transition: a promotion, a wider mandate, a new company, a first executive seat, or a deliberate change of direction. The work is structured, confidential and paced around real decisions.

Who this is for

You are probably in a leadership transition if one of these is true

  • You have just been appointed — or are about to be — and want the first 90 days to build credibility rather than noise.
  • Your mandate has grown faster than your operating model, and you are still working like the leader you were two levels ago.
  • You are weighing a move: stay and reshape the role, or leave and build something closer to what matters to you.
  • You are performing well on paper but sense a growing gap between your calendar and your actual priorities.
  • You have no space to think out loud with someone who has no stake in the outcome.
How the work runs

A clear sequence, not an open-ended coaching relationship

Every transition starts with a free 30-minute conversation. From there the work is deliberately sequenced so that you commit one step at a time.

00

Free conversation

30 minutes, no commitment. We clarify the transition you are actually in and whether this work is the right instrument for it.

01

Discovery session

A first working session to map the situation: mandate, constraints, decisions ahead, and the standards you refuse to trade away.

02

Designing what comes next

We turn the reading of the situation into a direction: priorities, sequencing, what you stop doing, and how you will know it is working.

03

Momentum

Continue session by session, or in a 5- or 10-session journey when the transition spans several quarters.

What changes

What senior leaders take away

A defensible reading of the situation

You stop reacting to the loudest signal and can explain, in one page, what this role actually requires of you.

Decisions made on time

The decisions you have been carrying — structure, people, scope, your own boundaries — get made rather than deferred.

An operating model that fits the new mandate

Your calendar, your delegation and your attention are rebuilt around the role you now hold, not the one you left.

A thinking partner with no agenda

Confidential, direct, outside your organisation's politics — and available for the moments that matter.

Questions

Leadership transition coaching — common questions

How much does leadership transition coaching cost?

The first conversation is free (30 minutes). The discovery session is €290 excluding VAT, then €390 excluding VAT per session. Longer journeys are €1,690 excluding VAT for 5 sessions and €3,290 excluding VAT for 10 sessions.

How long does a leadership transition take?

Most transitions settle over two to three quarters. Some leaders need two sessions to make a single decision; others use a 10-session journey across a full year of change.

Is this executive coaching or advisory?

Both. The sessions are coaching in form — you do the thinking — but the work is advisory in substance: we look at the mandate, the organisation and the trade-offs, not only at your inner narrative.

Is it confidential, including from my employer?

Yes. Nothing you share is reported to anyone. When a company funds the work, only the fact that sessions took place is shared.

Can we work in French or German?

Sessions run in English or French. Written materials can be provided in English, French or German.
