Executive Coaching
The Inner Edge: Executive Transition Coaching
Confidential coaching for senior leaders navigating an expanded mandate, heightened complexity and greater responsibility.
A conversation that begins with the mandate or transition in front of you.
At a glance
What it is
Confidential, rigorous, action-oriented coaching for senior leaders, as 90-Day or 180-Day Executive Transition Coaching, tailored to the transition.
Who it is for
Senior leaders stepping into a larger or new leadership mandate.
What it helps with
Creating clarity, building influence, making sharper choices under pressure and sustaining effectiveness as the
stakes rise.
How it is arranged
Self-funded or company-sponsored.
Next step
Arrange a chemistry conversation, or, if you are sponsoring a leader, enquire for your organisation.
Who this is for
Senior leaders who are stepping into a larger or new leadership mandate: moving into a CXO, CHRO, business-head or expanded enterprise role, navigating major change, restructuring, growth or transformation, or carrying greater visibility, complexity, stakeholder expectations and decision-making responsibility.
The moment this addresses
A bigger mandate requires more than doing more of what has worked before. It requires becoming more intentional about how you lead: how you create clarity, build influence, make sharper choices under pressure and sustain your effectiveness as the stakes rise.
What coaching provides
Confidential, rigorous and action-oriented, coaching creates the space to recognise patterns, make stronger choices, strengthen influence and follow through on what matters most. It brings the space, challenge and disciplined practice to access your edge when the stakes are higher.
Engagement options
90
90-Day Executive Transition Coaching
Focused support through an immediate transition or a defined leadership challenge.
180
180-Day Executive Transition Coaching
Sustained support through a longer transition, an expanded mandate, or a sustained shift in how you lead.
Each engagement is tailored and may include:
- Confidential one-to-one coaching sessions
- Clear leadership goals and a focus for the engagement
- Reflection, practical experiments and action commitments between sessions
- Periodic progress review
- For company-sponsored coaching, a clearly agreed sponsor–coach–client alignment process that respects confidentiality
Two routes
Self-funded
You arrange the coaching yourself, as part of your own executive transition or leadership development.
Company-sponsored
Your organisation sponsors the coaching as part of executive transition, leadership development or succession support. A clearly agreed sponsor–coach–client alignment process respects confidentiality. CHROs and CEOs sponsoring a leader can enquire for their organisation. Where collective leadership practice is also needed, group coaching or a leadership-team workshop can be separately scoped through Leadership Workshops & Group Coaching.
Led by
Coaching is led by Janani Prakaash.
