“Hiring an Executive is just the beginning. Even the most gifted leaders need support to step into their new role.
That’s why I stay close, with empathy, insight, and guidance.
Through their transition and beyond, I help them read between the lines, embrace the culture, and find their place.
This is my commitment to their growth and success.
In this journey, they are never alone”.
Arianna DessiTransitioning to a new role can be as much a shift in identity as in responsibility. We support leaders in adjusting their mindset and leadership style, balancing the pressure to deliver quick wins, while integrating with the culture and inspiring teams.
Transition coaching is an opportunity to gain a holistic view and lead from a place of grounded conviction: a roadmap that encompasses the whole ecosystem, enabling the new leader to understand complex stakeholder networks, focus activity, and influence effectively from day one.
It’s a transformative process requiring a dual alignment: the leader adapting to the organisation, and the organisation evolving to the leader’s style. The real challenge lies in orchestrating this synergy; this is where we excel.
Together, we make a flexible plan that takes into account the leader’s availability prior to start date, and includes 12 one-hour sessions spanning 9-12 months. Sessions may begin up to 2 months before the start date in the new role.
Ahead of the first day, we prepare the ground — helping the leader read the environment and set a clear roadmap for the year, with focus on culture, strategy, people and the wider organisation.
In those first crucial months, we stay close as a sparring partner and trusted guide. Together, we refine the roadmap, shape their approach, navigate challenges. We help them settle into the new organisation with confidence, staying focused, balanced, and avoiding overwhelm.

MAHASTI MOHAMMADI
Systemic Leadership Coach
With over 20 years of coaching experience, I partner with senior leaders to expand clarity, resilience, and authentic presence. I believe that when leaders realign with their core values and inner strength, they unlock the capacity to lead with conviction, impact, and systemic awareness.
Blending executive experience with meditation, Buddhism, and embodied practices, my approach bridges practical leadership demands with inner mastery. Leaders I work with learn to navigate complexity with wisdom, deepen trust through presence, and foster collaboration that transforms organizations and ecosystems.
I am most inspired when leaders return to their center—calm, grounded, and clear—able to lead with wisdom, compassion, and vision that leaves a lasting impact.
