To kickstart your journey, you will work with our executive coach to establish your new role, responsibilities, and organizational landscape deeply. We collaboratively articulate your goals and objectives for the first 100 days through active listening and strategic questioning. This is a process of truly taking a moment and understanding your new stakeholders, their expectations, and what needs to change and develop inside your growing organization.

Together, we craft a compelling BHAG that resonates with your aspirations and aligns seamlessly with the organization’s overarching vision. A new BHAG is crucial to maintain the pace of growth. A true innovator never stops at achieving the last goal. We break down the BHAG into actionable milestones with clear timelines and KPIs to ensure measurable progress.

Drawing upon your strengths, available resources, and potential obstacles, we devise tailored strategies and tactics to propel you towards your BHAG. Here is where our mentors come in and work alongside you to prioritize actions based on impact and feasibility ensuring alignment with your overarching goal.

Step Four – Creating Accountability Structures:

Establishing robust accountability mechanisms is paramount. We assist in setting up regular stakeholder check-ins and implementing tracking systems for key metrics, fostering transparency and progress towards the BHAG. This is where our mentor will understand your audience and work with you to effectively communicate your why and how to garner buy-in across all stakeholders.

Step Five – Building Confidence and Resilience:

Navigating challenges and setbacks with confidence is a hallmark of effective leadership. Where needed, we equip you with the resilience and adaptability needed to overcome obstacles through personalized mentoring and executive coaching techniques.

Step Six – Communication and Feedback:

Effective communication is critical to garnering support and keeping stakeholders engaged. We collaborate on developing communication strategies and implementing feedback loops to ensure continuous improvement and alignment with organizational goals.

Step Seven – Measuring Success and Celebrating Achievements:

Celebrating milestones and acknowledging achievements are crucial for morale and motivation. Together, we define success metrics and facilitate transparent communication across the organization, enhancing visibility and support for your endeavors.

Step Eight – Documentation, Communication, and Productization:

Documenting your journey and successes is essential for long-term success and knowledge sharing. We assist in packaging your 100-day plan into a reusable tool for communication and garnering support across the organization, ensuring sustained impact and alignment with strategic objectives.
