Want success in your new CEO role?
Maximise your impact in 100 days or less by getting clear on your big vision, create a strategy that connects and the communications plan to deliver it.
Getting to CEO-level is not easy.
Staying there is harder still.
The average UK CEO tenure is less than five years, and it’s even lower for public sector leaders. Meanwhile, 50% of executives don’t make 18 months in post!
As a high achiever, I know you want to beat those odds and succeed in post.
Failure is not an option.
That’s why it’s essential you don’t leave those first days and weeks in your dream job to chance. Being intentional with what you will see, say and do is a must-have first step if you’re going to have the best chance of making the right impact.
No matter where you are in your CEO journey, through my unique blend of coaching and done-with-you consulting, I will give you the strategy, support and space to succeed in post.
“Lee helped me to understand and communicate the leader I wanted to be. She enabled me to motivate, engage and inspire my teams through my vision, values and ambition for excellence in both performance and delivery of our strategic aspirations.”
As excited as you are about starting this new role, there are 101 things going through your mind…
Will you meet the expectations of the Board
What’s the organisation like and will you fit in
What’s your team like and will they support you
Who should you be meeting with and when
How are you going to juggle the competing demands
Are people going to support your ideas
How do you filter all the information you’re being bombarded with
You want to be seen to be taking action, but what’s the right first move
What’s the right balance between action and strategy
How are you going to achieve a balance with your personal life
How are you going to live up to or distance yourself from the legacy of your predecessor
You could wait until you start the job to begin tackling these worries.
But what will you do on day one when everyone is looking at you?
With the stakes so high are you willing to leave it to chance?

Test
Learning about the state of the organisation
I draw from my 20 years of experience as a communications and engagement specialist, as a senior leader within the public sector (before I set up my business) and my expertise of helping CEOs and directors to transform their personal impact and establish themselves in post.
I will help you to develop a strategy for success in your new role. We will map out the who, what, where, when and why for your first days in post. We will create a unique and totally-you message that will help you to tell your story, your way. And we will build your confidence to communicate in a way that will truly connect.
Together we will fast-track your contribution, build your credibility and get buy-in for your vision.
What are the deliverables?
No two CEO positions are the same. As such we will create YOUR masterplan that will respond to the unique challenges and opportunities that you face.
You will be able to answer:
How you are going to assess the organisation’s state and determine your top priorities
How you will communicate and connect people to your vision
How you will build the right relationships and develop an aligned senior team
How you will manage yourself and your office to avoid overwhelm and maximise your effectiveness
Using the six-step Impact framework you will be able to…
set measurable objectives for what you want to achieve in your first few months
understand the challenges you and your organisation face - get answers to the questions that will help you to set the longer-term strategy
articulate a vision & narrative that is reflective of you and the first impression you want to make in your organisation
identify your key stakeholders and priority contacts that you will need to build important relationships with
filter everything that you see and hear, separating the quick wins from the long-term, to focus your priorities, get clarity on your direction, and articulate your plans to others
determine who you need around you and achieve alignment across your senior team
set up your office to execute with ease and get you working on the things that only you can do
set boundaries and manage your own time and effectiveness
achieve credibility and momentum
create a bespoke communications & connection plan to support your on-boarding process
… and much more!
Hit the ground running from day one
What’s involved?
This is my signature package and offers you maximum, hands-on support and a safe space to explore, with the bonus of my expert eye on your communications and materials.
Through three half-day strategy sessions we will work through the six-step impact framework to develop your own masterplan.

You will do the big thinking before day one in post and come away with everything mapped out and ready to go.
You will get:
An initial discussion to map out the focus and your priorities for our time together
Information gathering before we start
3 half-day strategy and planning sessions
A launch masterplan document that breaks down the who, what, where, when and why week-by-week, to help you keep on track so you don’t need to figure it all out once in post
Key narrative done with you
Communications and engagement planner done with you
Email, WhatsApp and phone support throughout the process and for one-month after our final session
In addition, executive coaching sessions and additional strategy days are available on request to run alongside the implementation of this plan.
