Coaching for Leadership Transitions

Leadership transitions are pivotal moments in an executive’s career—and for the organisation. At CFI, we understand that while these transitions are full of opportunity, they also come with significant risks. A poorly managed transition can derail careers and impact business outcomes, while a well-supported transition can unlock leadership potential and drive long-term success.

Transitions happen constantly across organisations—leaders are promoted, move between functions, take on business responsibilities, or enter new cultures, countries, and organisations. These shifts represent strategic bets, but they often carry hidden risks.

CFI’s Transition Coaching Approach

At the core of our approach is the CFI Transition Coaching Model—developed through years of experience working with senior leaders across sectors. Our coaches use this model to:

The ultimate goal? To set the transitioning leader up for success in their role and begin delivering results with confidence—and for the organisation to see that confidence validated in outcomes.

The business impact of timely transition support is immense. Leaders who are set up for success make faster contributions, build credibility early, and help shape culture positively. Conversely, the cost of a failed or faltering transition can be high—for both the leader and the organisation.

If executive transitions are on the horizon for your organisation, talk to us. Our experience and support can make all the difference.
