Congratulations on your new job!

Whether you have moved firms or grown within, your transition does not end when you sign the employment contract. Celebrate landing your new job, then quickly refocus on making your new role a success. The effort you put into make your transition successful should go up not down after you sign the contract. This is a living collection of resources that I share with my Coaching clients to support them in taking up a new role.

All the best for your transition!
