The First 90
A leadership onboarding program for the freshly promoted — a compressed, high-support engagement across the ninety days that shape everything after. Stakeholder mapping, a 30/60/90 mandate, and weekly sessions.
Executive coaching · Billerica, MA
Lead your first directorship with the composure of someone who has held it for years.
Structured one-on-one coaching, 360° feedback, and onboarding built for the newly promoted director or VP — priced by engagement, never by the guesswork of an hourly meter.
The first ninety days set the tone for the next three years.
We coach the quiet part of leadership — judgement, presence, the restraint no title confers on its own.
The rhythm of an engagement
How the
work unfolds
No two directors arrive with the same mandate. The cadence stays the same — the content is entirely yours.
01
The orientation call
A ninety-minute conversation to map the promotion — the mandate you were handed, the room you now sit in, and the first hurdles already forming.
02
The 360° assessment
Candid, structured perspective gathered from the people above, beside, and beneath you — read together, without flinching.
03
The coaching cadence
Fortnightly one-on-one sessions across the engagement, each one anchored to a live decision rather than a theory.
04
The handover
You keep the frameworks, the language, and the reflexes — so the composure outlasts the coaching.
A promotion changes your title on a Monday. It does not change how you think by Tuesday. That gap is the work.
Restraint is the rarest thing a new director brings to a room. We help you find yours before the room decides for you.— The premise Zephyrite is built on
- One coach, your whole engagementThe same person hears every thread — nothing gets re-explained to a new face.
- Confidential by designWhat surfaces in session stays in session — including the 360° that got us there.
- Priced per engagementA fixed scope agreed up front — you never watch a clock mid-conversation.
- Built for the newly promotedDirectors and VPs in their first two years — not a general leadership seminar.
Three ways to begin
The engagements
Each is a defined scope with a fixed fee. Start where the promotion actually hurts.
Directorship Intensive
A six-month, one-on-one coaching engagement for directors settling into scale — fortnightly sessions, a mid-point 360°, and a working library of frameworks you keep. The core of the practice.
360° Perspective
A standalone 360-degree feedback assessment — designed, gathered, and read back with you over two debrief sessions. The clearest mirror a new leader can be handed, without a longer commitment.
Before it hardens
Impressions of a new leader set faster than anyone admits — and they are far easier to shape than to reverse.
90
days is all a new director gets to set the tone. We make each one deliberate.
Then it compounds
Composure practised in the first quarter becomes the reputation that carries you through the next three years.
