New Manager Transition Program

Support Your Newly Promoted Leaders Through Their First 90–180 Days

The first months after promotion are often the most challenging period in a leader’s career. New managers face increased expectations, new political dynamics, visibility pressures, emotional strain, and the need to quickly prove themselves, often without formal support.

Without targeted guidance, many new managers feel overwhelmed, lose confidence, or develop ineffective habits that impact performance and retention.

The New Manager Transition Program provides personalized, structured support for newly promoted leaders navigating this pivotal phase.

Grounded in coaching, identity work, emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, and communication skills, this program ensures new managers feel confident, capable, and prepared to lead effectively.
