Leading through adversity

The client was a NASDAQ-listed asset manager. They sought support for a high-potential leader as they transitioned from one functional area to another. There was a degree of organisational stress present due to market and competitive conditions, which needed navigating with assurance.

The engagement was a 9-month executive coaching relationship. There was a focus on letting go of subject-matter expertise, building resilience, addressing team dynamics, influencing peers for change, and developing strategic leadership skills. The meetings were a mixture of in-person and online, as best suited and engagement.

The client found the experience to be very positive. The Goldcrest Partners coach’s sector expertise and understanding of a diverse range of relevant topics set them apart from other coaches. The relationship continues with an extension to enable continued support as the client is considered for promotion.
