Quarter Two is where credibility turns into business value. Four priorities, practical plays, and how transition coaching accelerates impact.
Stepping into a more senior role is always a test of leadership range and resilience. By Quarter Two, the goal shifts from early momentum to compounding value: scaling the wins, sharpening strategic intent, and making visible progress that your boss, board, customers, and team can feel. Well‑designed integration support can cut time‑to‑full performance by ~40% compared with “sink or swim” onboarding, and specialised transition coaching can reduce that even further—sometimes up to half—by accelerating stakeholder alignment and cultural navigation.
This is the sixth and final article in my series on leadership transition: Before You Start; Day 1; Week 1; Month 1; Quarter 1; Quarter 2. In Quarter Two, the mandate is clear: convert credibility into business value, while embedding ways of working that will scale through the year.

I asked the Co-Pilot AI tool in MS Word to write a 500 word article about leadership mentoring. Here is what it wrote. Word for word. No editing from me. Of course the skill was in the brief I gave AI; and I agree with every word it wrote!!
Leadership mentoring is a developmental relationship where an experienced leader provides guidance, support, and advice to a less experienced leader or aspiring leader. The mentor shares their wisdom, knowledge, and experiences to help the mentee navigate their leadership journey, enhance their skills, and achieve their professional goals.
Continue reading “The Art of Leadership Mentoring”I asked the new experimental AI tool in Wordpress to write a 200 word article comparing executive coaching and life coaching. Here is what it wrote. Word for word. No editing from me. I just added the headings.
Executive coaching and life coaching are two different types of coaching that aim to improve the lives of individuals. These forms of coaching are designed to provide individuals with guidance, support, and encouragement to help them achieve their goals in their personal and professional lives. Although both forms of coaching have similarities, they differ in several ways.

Investing in this pre-work phase before you start your full leadership responsibility is the best way to be effective as soon as possible
A leadership transition may at first seem like an onerous prospect. Especially if it involves a complete change of role, a relocation – or both. However in reality, with the right planning and coaching support, it can turn into an extremely rewarding and satisfying experience. Here I consider what you can do before you start the new role.
Since 2017 the majority of my one-to-one work has been coaching for leadership transition. In the ten years before that I was a facilitator for groups of leaders attending the Leadership Pipeline transition program.
This is the first of a series of six articles about what I have learnt about the progressive stages of leadership transition. This article Before You Start is about what you can do before you even take up the new role.

Five years ago I wrote about a book, a poems and an article that stayed with me throughout my adult life. The article was In Pursuit of Happiness and Success. The book I selected was ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People‘ by Dale Carnegie.
I’m planning an article soon about Leadership Influencing linked to behavioural styles. This article is a prelude to my forthcoming article to once again remind us what a tremedous influence Dale Carnegie has had on many people.
