About this service

A coaching program rooted in Brussels and the United States, designed to help executives accelerate alignment, clarity, and impact during their first 180 days in transition — anywhere in the world.

Originally designed for Brussels-based executives, this pilot program now welcomes leaders globally who are stepping into new roles, expanding scope, or navigating complex organizational shifts. Transitions are among the most defining — yet least supported — moments in a leader’s career.


Rooted in Brussels and delivered virtually, the program extends to leaders across Europe and the United States, providing the structure, clarity, and support needed to accelerate your first 180 days. It is designed for executives, founders, and senior professionals operating in complex, high-visibility environments.


The Problem


Nearly 40% of executives fail within 18 months of taking on a new role. Not due to lack of capability — but because transitions are uniquely complex:

  • Misalignment with key stakeholders

  • Over-reliance on previous leadership playbooks

  • Under-empowered teams

  • Lack of structured guidance during the critical early months


Who This Is For


  • Expat executives stepping into new roles or organizational cultures

  • SME leaders & entrepreneurs scaling operations

  • NGO leaders navigating mission–complexity dynamics

  • Directors preparing for VP/C-suite scope

  • HR leaders sponsoring and supporting executive transitions

  • Executives entering new responsibilities or broader mandates

  • Senior professionals operating across global or regional contexts

  • Leaders seeking a proven, structured approach to their first 180 days


What Success Looks Like


  • Rapid alignment & trust with key stakeholders

  • A tailored transition plan built for your real context

  • A capable, engaged team ready to accelerate your impact

  • Clear early wins in the first 180 days

  • Stronger leadership presence and decision-making confidence

  • You remain the driver — I serve as your strategic co-pilot.
