Mentoring and coaching

First 100 Days

A new role, significant responsibility, little time. Take the lead without guesswork.

Beata Krawczyk

Your first months as a director, CEO or executive board member shape how you will be seen for years to come. An inherited team, board expectations, pressure for quick results and few people you can speak to openly. Over 30 years, I have stepped into new roles, taken over teams and prepared successors myself. Today, I help others navigate that journey.

Who it is for

  • You are stepping into a director, MD, CEO or executive board role, or preparing to do so.
  • You are taking over a position through succession or following a change of ownership.
  • Your company wants to give a new leader a successful start.

How I work

I am an ICF coach and work in accordance with the ICF Code of Ethics. In this program, I combine coaching, asking questions that help you find your own answers, with mentoring: when you wish, I share what worked (and what did not) in my 30 years of management. The decisions are always yours. I take a systemic approach, considering you, your team and your organization as a whole. Everything you share during the sessions stays between us.

Frequently asked questions

Can my company fund the program?

Yes. We begin with a three-way meeting with your manager or HR to agree on goals. The content of the sessions remains confidential.

How is this different from training?

We work exclusively on your situation and your decisions, at the pace of your new role.

What if I start in a month?

Ideally, we start before your first day. Your diagnosis and conversation plan will be ready when you begin.
