No manager or executive in today’s business world can legitimately expect not to go through significant periods of transition. Whether it’s changing jobs to a new corporate culture, being bought or absorbed into another company, merging with another company, downsizing, corporate re-engineering, or bankruptcies, to name a few, people should expect not just one, but at least several, major transitions to occur during their careers.

Transition coaching supports individuals or sometimes groups or teams of people through these high stress events. It focuses on providing context where it’s not obvious, clarity of purpose when it seems lost, focus where there’s been confusion, leadership when there’s a vacuum, and confidence in the face of fear.

Transition coaching can mean the difference between being overwhelmed and victimized by condition vs. being the author of your success and your contribution to a desirable new future, for yourself or for your team. It can smooth the upsets, mitigate the surprises, provide certainty and clarity where there’s been uncertainty and confusion, and give the client a solid place to stand in the swirl of the transition storm.
