Are you…
At the crossroads of change, unclear about your next destination, and seeking a smooth and purposeful transition?
Selling or closing your business, and needing to make wise decisions about your future?
Stepping into a new role, or changing careers all together, and you want to talk through how to prepare yourself for what’s coming next?

…No matter what type of transition you’re facing, I’m here to empower you on to the Next Chapter.
Why is Next Chapter Transition/ Succession Coaching Important?
Major change, professional or personal, can challenge business leaders in ways that may be difficult to manage causing them to call into question their sense of identity, what their purpose truly is, how capable they really are, and what value they can still bring. This often leads to a weakening of self-confidence, fear, and confusion over how best to navigate the transition ahead.
I’m here to bring you the clarity, self-assurance, strategy, and specific support you need to successfully write your next chapter, and then live into it.
What is Next Chapter Transition/ Succession Coaching?
I understand the mental and emotional turbulence that often accompanies major transitions, whether you are welcoming the transition or not. From grappling with feelings of loss and doubt to not knowing the right path, I will help you transform your uncertainty into renewed confidence, strategic action, and results. Imagine stepping into your next chapter with purpose, clarity, and leaving a lasting positive impact behind you.
Design Your Next Chapter:
Clarifying Purpose, Calling, and Core Values - I will help you discover your deepest purpose, awaken you to your new calling, and identify your core values. With this greater awareness, you will choose the career path that is right for you.
Next-Chapter Vision Storying – regardless of the particular circumstances of your transition, you will need a clear vision of what your next chapter is going to look like. This is a thorough, deeply personal articulation of your desired future. It includes a detailed description of your big picture goal, your end goal, your performance goals, and the beliefs, values, and capabilities that you will call upon to reach your chosen destination. Your story will be so clearly defined and resonant that it will naturally move you into action.
Strategic Action Planning – along with your clear vision story, you will need a well-thought-out strategic plan of action that will carry you from where you are to where you want to be. I will help you chart that path and hold you accountable for reaching the milestones that will ensure your successful transition. As your coach, I am here to help you connect the dots, fill in the gaps, and determine your path forward, step by step.
Personal Performance and Resilience – significant transitions can inspire us, empower us, serve as the catalyst for positive change, and bring out our very best. On the other hand, they can cause us to lose our sense of self and purpose, our social and professional connections, bring feelings of regret and failure, or cause intense fear in the face of the unknown. Drawing upon my many years of experience as a personal performance coach, I will help you let go of limiting thoughts and self-perceptions, release the buildup of negative emotions (anger, sadness, fear, hurt, and resentment), restore your equilibrium and confidence, and assert yourself forward with clarity and conviction.
Performance Modeling – you’ve played an important role, you played it well, but others are waiting, and it’s time for a well-executed exit. Through a one-of-a-kind, individually-tailored process called Performance Modeling, we will map your core beliefs and values, and your strategies and skills for achieving excellence – and then transfer that map to your chosen successor(s). Through Performance Modeling, we can ensure that your replacement(s) are ready to fill your shoes.
How Does Next Chapter Transition/ Succession Coaching Work?
Our coaching process begins with developing your Vision Story, which includes your dream goal, your end goal, and the performance goals that will determine your new destination. We will then specify the actions that you will take, and when, to ensure a successful transition.
Helping you address the realities that could support or hinder your way forward, I will stand beside you, and provide the guidance you need to make your best choices. I will hold you accountable for facing and overcoming obstacles, while pursuing the opportunities presented by the transition.
What Are the Benefits of Next Chapter Transition/Succession Coaching?
As your coach, I serve as your personal and confidential sounding board trained in non-judgmental generous listening – so you can move from confusion to clarity, make your best decisions, and relieve the common anxieties and stress associated with major change.
As you discover your true purpose, determine your new calling, and clarify your core values - you will experience a new level of energy and confidence that will serve as the source of motivation needed for a successful transition.
Together, we will write your Next Chapter Vision Story – having a clear vision will make the unknown known, remove the guesswork associated with significant change, and inform, guide, and align the daily actions that will make your vision a reality.
Transitions often require new skills and capabilities – we will focus on your strengths and develop the personal and executive skills that you need as your next chapter unfolds.
As a highly trained personal performance coach, I will help you develop a powerful new inner game that will give you the confidence and courage to do whatever it takes to make your transition a successful one.
Through performance modeling – we will transfer your map of executive excellence on to your successor(s) ensuring that your legacy will continue. Contact me now, and let’s get started!
