Case Study

CLIENT: C-Suite Executive

THE NEED: Client came to Una to manage his first one hundred days in a new role. This involved his step-up to the board level and he needed to build relationships and form alliances quickly. The client had a habit of pushing too hard, stepping on toes without firstly building a solid relationship or understanding the culture and style of others. The result of this behavior was he burnt bridges in his last role and now recognized the need for a new improved approach.

RESULT: Una helped this client re-build his confidence, understand clearly how to manage his energy effectively so that he made a positive impact while genuinely helping others feel heard and understood. Una helped this client use mind-body awareness so that the client was able to slow down more, build greater self-awareness and self-management to notice the impact of his approach in the moment, then effectively dialing his enthusiasm up or down appropriately. The client now has a deeper, more trusting relationship with others, including both the Chairman and CEO.
