Coaching for an Internal Promotion

Case Study

The Problem

Jane* was a functional leader and the main breadwinner for her young family.

Two large companies merged, and in the middle of the Covid lockdown, she had to apply for a more senior role – or face redundancy. She was competing in interviews against strong candidates.

How I Helped

Jane asked me to coach her to prepare for the interviews and secure her role. We focused on her preparation and interview technique. We positioned her answers for the step up in responsibility.

Jane worked hard to prepare herself properly. She approached the selection process confidently and positively.

The Result

Jane won the promotion, an exciting career progression opportunity, and avoided redundancy. She and her family were delighted – and mighty relieved.
