Manage yourself
Beware of the biggest pitfall: neglecting yourself. Beware of the biggest challenge: withstanding the urge to step in too quickly.

George helped me during my transition to an executive board position. His support in sharpening my vision, forming a new management team and then putting that vision into action for the management team was very valuable to me. I warmly recommend George for developing your leadership and especially when there is a transition to a new position. George is a warm person who can draw on his own broad experience and shows himself to be vulnerable. George has an impact.

As a starting manager, George's online guidance has helped me a lot to have a grip on the steps I have gone through and taken in the first 90/100 days. I have been given clear explanations and tools to initiate, evaluate and assess certain matters and to link concrete actions to them. It has also given me focus and insight into creating the right balance. George specializes in guiding managers in the first 90/100 days, which is very nice because you are coached by a specialist with a lot of experience from the field.

George and I worked together over the course of three months, to coach me through my first-100-days at Erasmus MC. George is a real professional with a very personable and disarming attitude. I left our sessions with a clear sense of direction. He coached me through the process of understanding my priorities and then the process of developing a plan to achieve my goals. Working with him was a pleasure and an eye-opening experience. I Highly reccommend George’s First-100-Days program to executives and CEO’s.
