TRANSITION COACHING

What is transition coaching?

Transition coaching is focused, one-on-one support for leaders navigating a career change, whether it is planned or unexpected.

It combines assessment and self-reflection, strategy, personal branding, and practical preparation with an experienced partner who helps you make clear decisions, present yourself well, and move forward with confidence. Every conversation is confidential.

WHAT IT IS NOT

It is not long-term executive coaching. Our work is focused on one period in your career: the transition from where you are to where you want to be next.

It is not outplacement. There is no standard package or one-size-fits-all program. Every engagement is customized to you and designed to support you through this time of change.

How we work with you

  1. 01Start with you

    An in-depth intake conversation and a leadership assessment clarify your strengths, goals, and what matters most in your next role.

  2. 02Define your path

    Career pathing identifies where you fit best and where you want to go. Together we map a personalized roadmap, with clear priorities and a timeline that fits your situation.

  3. 03Prepare your story

    Your resume, bios, LinkedIn profile, and personal value statements are refined so you present yourself with clarity and confidence.

  4. 04Move forward with support

    Regular one-on-one sessions guide you through networking, interviewing, and negotiation, with resources and a peer community along the way.

WHO WE HELP

For leaders and their organizations

For executives

Whether you are between roles, planning your next move from your current seat, or simply weighing your options, you get a clear strategy, polished materials, and an experienced partner in your corner.

  • Clarify what you want next and where you fit best
  • Build a personal brand that opens the right doors
  • Network, interview, and negotiate with confidence

Not sure what you need yet? Let’s talk. Many conversations start with a leader who simply wants a sounding board, a second opinion on their situation, or is curious about how coaching could help. There’s no commitment.

Insight from the other side of the table

For more than 25 years, Cindy Chandler has recruited healthcare and nonprofit executives and board directors. She knows what search firms, hiring committees, and boards look for, and what sets the strongest candidates apart.

That experience shapes every coaching engagement, so your materials, your story, and your strategy reflect how leaders are actually evaluated.

A QUICK CHECK

Is transition support right for you?

Ask yourself a few honest questions.

  • Are you between roles, or quietly considering a move from your current seat?
  • Has it been years since you last updated your resume or looked for a new role?
  • Has your search stalled, and you’re not sure why?
  • Do you find it hard to describe your experience in a way that fits what comes next?
  • Are you aiming for a larger role, a new sector, or board service?
  • Is your organization going through a merger, reorganization, or leadership change?
  • Would a confidential, objective sounding board help you make your next decision?
  • Are you ready to invest in yourself and your career?

If you answered yes to any of these, a conversation is a good next step.
