The First 90 Days: Career Transition Coaching for Ambitious Professionals
A smart way to become proactive about managing your transition into a new role and setting yourself up for success from day one.
Who is it for?
This programme is for ambitious professionals who:
- Have just been promoted to a new role within the same organisation
- Have just transitioned into a new role in a different organisation
- Have changed careers completely
Starting a new role is exciting. It presents a great opportunity to take on new challenges that will help you grow.
At the same time, it can be daunting and make you feel vulnerable. You need to learn a lot fast, build new relationships, and establish yourself as a professional in a new environment.
This programme is designed to help you confidently navigate through the challenges of moving into a new working environment and to be strategic in developing your career from day one.
This programme will help you embrace and manage change efficiently and:
- Create a great first impression and effectively develop your personal brand
- Set realistic goals and develop a clear plan to achieve them
- Learn how to use your unique strengths, skills, and experience to succeed in your role
- Increase your confidence, resilience, and ability to communicate with more presence and impact
- Adopt new habits to embrace change and take positive action
I signed up for the First 90 Days Programme because I believe that coaching really helps you to develop your own potential further, no matter at what stage you are at in your professional career.
Tami proved to be the best coach ever. Having been a lawyer herself, she completely understands the legal culture and its perks and burdens. But what really stands out is her multicultural background, and her ability to listen and to help you achieve what you are looking for.
Coaching feeds from our own self-awareness. So it is really important to reflect upon and answer the questions she provides as it makes you consider things in more depth. She is also a fantastic listener and promoter of your best self. I can’t praise her highly enough.

How does it work?
This programme includes an introductory session and three 1:1 coaching sessions via audio or video call.
Introductory Session: Shortly after you have accepted your new role
To prepare for our coaching sessions, you’ll receive a workbook that will help you identify the topics you’d like to dive deeper into during our coaching.
You don’t need to complete the whole workbook before your next session. Feel free to focus on the topics that resonate most with you and that you’d like to use as a starting point for our coaching sessions.
During this session I’ll help you:
- Reflect upon where you currently are in your career
- Clarify your transition purpose, core objectives, and expectations
- Identify your long-term vision of success
- Identify your immediate opportunities that may help you in achieving your objectives and potential obstacles that may prevent you from doing that
Session #1: Two to three weeks before you start your new role
During this session, we’ll discuss the topics that feel most relevant to you at the moment. For example:
- Examine your role in detail
- Identify your key strengths, skills, and unique experiences to create a great first impression for the organisation and demonstrate your value
- Understand the culture and values of your new organisation and identify what you share in common
- Identify the key stakeholders: the most important people who you want to establish a strong connection with and clarify expectations
- Identify your priorities and set realistic goals for the first 90 days in your role and develop a strategy to achieve them without feeling overwhelmed
Session #2: Two to three weeks after you’ve started your new role
The topics we’ll focus on during this session will depend on your situation and needs at the particular moment. Here are some examples:
- Get into a habit to celebrate early wins and keep your motivation up
- Identify what skills and knowledge you need to acquire in this new role
- Reassess your priorities and make adjustments to your plan
- Tackle imposter syndrome and build up your confidence
- Build rapport with the key players in your organisation
- Continue to develop your own brand
Session #3: Anytime within your first 90 days
As with previous sessions, the topics we’ll discuss during this session will depend on what feels most important to you at the moment. Here are some examples:
- Reflect on your progress to revisit your priorities and make adjustments
- Develop your support network, both internally and externally
- Develop new habits and identify key actions and strategies to keep building your confidence and resilience
During these meetings, you’ll have the undivided attention of a certified executive coach who will work with you at your own pace in a confidential, judgement-free environment.
What results can you expect?
By the end of the programme, you can expect to:
- Gain clarity about what success means to you in this role and beyond
- Identify your unique strengths, skills, and experiences, and learn how to leverage them to achieve your role’s goals
- Gain greater confidence and resilience, and develop your personal brand
- Learn to communicate with more impact
- Receive a clear roadmap with practical steps to achieve tangible results in your new role (and a sense of empowerment that comes from having a clear plan)
Tami helped me organise my thoughts strategically and got me excited about overcoming these obstacles
When I first met Tami I had already had some career coaching. While I felt prepared for my role as a result of this previous coaching, I quickly noticed upon speaking to Tami that subconsciously, I still had so many questions on important issues such as setting boundaries, prioritising my family without sacrificing my career goals, and making an impact in a male dominated industry.
What impressed me the most is that I quickly recognised issues that were daunting me, but when speaking to Tami from the offset, I didn’t feel overwhelmed. She helped me organise my thoughts strategically and answer my own questions and importantly, got me excited about overcoming these obstacles.
Thanks to Tami, I feel less intimidated of my future and have a better understanding of what I would like to happen over the next 5 years.
Tami is a kind and patient person who makes speaking to her feel effortless. She has a wonderful spirit and outlook on life, and has been incredibly helpful, both professionally and personally.

This bespoke programme will be built around your unique personality, situation, and goals and includes:

You’ll be in good hands
The sessions were really helpful to get me to start thinking about what to expect from private practice to in-house. It was great to have a sounding board whilst also being challenged by Tami to any areas of concern that I may have had and approach them from angles I may not have thought of.
When I started working together with Tami, I was feeling very frustrated about my previous job, dealing with difficult stakeholders and struggling to navigate its politics environment. I was also feeling nervous about starting a new job. I feel more confident at doing my job.
