The first 100 days in a role are often louder than they need to be.

Expectations are high. Information is incomplete. Relationships are new.

The pressure to perform can drown out the quieter work of orientation, learning the landscape, listening for what matters, and deciding how you want to show up.

The First 100 Days is a one-on-one coaching container designed to slow that moment down. It creates space for clarity, discernment, and intentional choice that supports building a foundation to support you long-term.

This is not a productivity sprint. It’s a grounded, thoughtful way to step across a threshold without losing yourself in the process.

Who This Is For
This engagement is well-suited for:
  • leaders stepping into a new role or expanded scope
  • executives navigating transition, re-entry, or reinvention
  • creatives and strategic thinkers who resist one-size-fits-all leadership models

It's especially helpful if you:
  • feel the tension between competence and uncertainty
  • want to lead with integrity rather than imitation
  • value reflection as much as execution

What We'll Focus On

Our work unfolds across a set of overlapping phases, designed to mirror how clarity actually develops:

Investigate
We take stock of context, expectations, dynamics, and constraints without rushing to conclusions.
Imagine
We make room for deeper wishes and possibilities, even before they’re fully formed.
Identify
We clarify what truly matters now, and what deserves your focus and energy.
Incubate
We let insight meet reality, examining where to align, where to challenge, and where to innovate.
Integrate
We translate clarity into decisions, behavior, and presence, so the role fits you and not the other way around.

Format
  • Time-bound individual engagement
  • 8 sessions over ~4 months
  • Sessions are reflective, practical, and designed to support moving forward without rushing
  • Scope is customized to your context and goals

As an ACC coach I abide by the ICF Code of Ethics. In short: This work is confidential, conversational, and grounded in trust. Unless you choose to tell someone we're working together, no one will know. If your company sponsors this work, then they will know only that you participate in and complete the work; everything we discuss one-on-one will remain confidential.

This package includes
Six to eight 60-minute one-on-one coaching sessions
Thoughtful, focused conversations designed to help you see clearly, choose deliberately, and move forward in ways that fit your real life and context. Sessions are spaced to allow insight to develop and integrate over time.

The First 100 Days workbook (customized to you)
A structured, reflective workbook that anchors the work between sessions. Prompts and exercises may be emphasized or adapted based on your goals, pace, and what’s emerging in the coaching.

Email support between sessions
Space for brief check-ins, reflections, or questions as the work unfolds so you’re not carrying everything alone between live conversations.

Intentional reflection and application between sessions
This engagement assumes time and attention outside our live meetings. You’ll be invited to reflect, write, notice patterns, and experiment with small shifts in real time. The work happens both in conversation and in the in-between.
