Why executive coaching could be the missing link in your onboarding strategy

executive coaching leadership impact Mar 10, 2025

From my experience with global leadership teams, I have noticed that talent retention and development is a critical and recurring theme for organisations in the coming years. In a more challenging labour market, retaining key talent and effectively onboarding and keeping new decision-making leaders is becoming increasingly crucial.

Including a one-to-one coaching programme as part of a leadership onboarding programme can significantly accelerate a leader’s preparedness to excel in their new role.

Coaching sessions are not static events that start and stop at set times.

During the leader’s first 180 days, there are multiple conflicting priorities. To ensure the leader receives the support needed, the leader and coach stay connected to prepare for significant meetings, review communications, and discuss team dynamics. An external coach can help mitigate cognitive overload, ensuring new talent has space, time, and mental resources available to learn and thrive in their new job.

NewlandRock's coaching makes a positive difference in how quickly and smoothly a new leader gets up to speed with our coaching continuum for executive leaders.

Our six-month executive programme is a comprehensive solution, incorporating structured 1:1 coaching sessions, executive insights, micro-sessions for specific issues, and a six-week mental fitness programme to enhance leadership agility and reduce saboteur intrusion.
