Genesis Advisers First 90 Days Acceleration Coaching is the ideal solution to onboarding and promoting your leadership talent.

Getting Started
The process begins with a chemistry call to ensure an excellent coach/coachee match.
The assigned Genesis coach then performs data gathering via interviews with the transitioning executive, their BBHR partner, and/or their supervisor.
The Genesis Coach reviews the career history and identifies strengths, reasons for role change, mission in new role, and development areas/goals as applicable.
Coaching
Experienced transition coaches provide customized advice throughout the executive’s transition.
Executives get one-on-one support to diagnose their situations, define their goals, and design 90-day action plans to deliver results.
Includes two (2) days on-site for intensive face-to-face meetings with the executive and/or team and seven (7) virtual coaching sessions over a duration of 6-9 months.
Impact
Newly hired and promoted executives have a framework for learning, connecting, and creating momentum as they integrate into their new roles.
Executives get the support they need to align expectations, build relationships, and adapt to an organization’s unique culture.
Executives can reduce time to breakeven point by up to 40% by approaching their transition systematically.
Process Description—The First 90 Days Acceleration Coaching
The Acceleration Coaching process begins, ideally, when an executive is appointed to a new role. Acceleration Coaching consists of five delivery modules that are aligned with the key phases of The First 90 Days Transition Roadmap as shown below:
| Launch | The coach prepares for an in-person launch meeting with a background review and discussion of the situation the leader is entering with their hiring manager and HR business partner. | As soon as possible |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnose Your Situation | The coach helps to diagnose the situation by supporting the executive in focused learning about the business situation, organization, culture, expectations, team, and stakeholders. | 0-90 days |
| Define Your Core Challenges | With guidance from the coach, the leader will crystallize A-item goals, strategy, team restructuring, early-win opportunities, and alliance-building priorities. | 90-120 days |
| Design Your Plan | The coach guides the leader in building and aligning the team around goals, strategy, and the pursuit of key early-win projects. | 120-180 days |
| Assess Your Progress | The engagement concludes with another in-person day to assess progress, adjust approach as necessary, and plan for the next 90 days. | 180-270 days |
Coaching can be enhanced with a Team Acceleration Workshop, Team Management Profile analysis and debrief, and additional coaching hours. Engagements are managed with state-of-the-art planning, reporting, and evaluation systems.
