Leading through adversity

The client was a NASDAQ-listed asset manager seeking to support 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 with a focus on letting go of subject matter expertise, building resilience, addressing team dynamics, influencing for change with peers, 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 with both the sector expertise of the Goldcrest Partners coach and their understanding of a diverse range of relevant topics standing them apart from other coaches. The relationship continues with an extension to enable continued support as the client is considered for promotion.
