Succession
Coaching
Is your future leader ready?

Because Leadership Transitions Shouldn’t Be Left to Chance
When a key leader steps up - or steps out - poorly managed transitions cost you:
-
Lost momentum across teams
-
Shaken confidence in leadership
-
Burnout or turnover in emerging leaders
Promoting your best "doer" doesn’t mean they’re ready to lead.
That is why Succession Coaching is so important. It closes the gap - building clarity, confidence, and capability so leaders step up prepared.
Why Succession Coaching Works
This isn’t theory or “soft” coaching.
It’s a practical readiness pathway, tailored to the person, the role, and your organisation’s future.
It closes the gap between being a great 'doer' and a confident leader, building the clarity, connection, and courage your people need to step up prepared.
With Succession Coaching, you can:
-
Protect your leadership pipeline
-
Keep teams steady during change
-
Prevent burnout in emerging leaders
-
Retain critical talent and knowledge
Spot the Signs Your Future Leaders Aren’t Ready
-
You’ve had two acting leaders in 12 months,
-
The top performer just declined a promotion,
-
Team sentiment dips when leaders move,
-
Handovers drag beyond 4 weeks.
Succession Coaching is designed for emerging leaders who are:
-
Not sure if they want the role
-
Not sure if they can do it
-
But ready to find out, with the right support
If this brings someone to mind, it's for them.
Not sure if your future leader is ready? Take the quiz.

Emma Schneider
Succession Coach | Certified Results Coach | Workplace Specialist
I help future leaders cut through the noise and actually be ready to lead.
I didn’t just train in this coaching method. I lived it. I know what it’s like to second-guess yourself, to wait to feel “ready,” and to carry the weight of potential without a clear plan.
Coaching changed that for me. It gave me clarity, courage, and traction I couldn’t find on my own.
Now I coach others through the same shift.
I’ve supported leaders in mining sites, startups, and high-stakes environments. I’ve seen what happens when someone gets thrown in the deep end without a life vest.
My job is to make sure that’s not you.
I work with emerging leaders standing on the edge of something bigger.
Not sure if you want it.
Not sure if you can do it.
But ready to find out.
If that’s you, I’ve got you.
Let’s get you ready to lead, without burning out before you begin.

Read the Article: “Leadership Checklist - Not Everyone Who’s Asked to Lead, Asked for That Responsibility”
Not everyone who’s asked to lead is ready for it—or even wants it. In this piece, I unpack what happens when businesses push the wrong person into leadership, the ripple effects it has on teams, and how to spot if someone’s truly ready before you hand them the keys.

For the curious but uncertain
For the team member who has potential but hasn’t found their footing yet.
This coaching helps them connect to what drives them, name what’s been holding them back, and start moving forward with clarity and purpose.
It’s the ideal starting point when someone’s nearly ready—but not quite sure why they’re stuck.
Breakthrough
5-Session Coaching
For the ready but stuck
You’ve got someone with the skill, the drive, and the opportunity, but something’s holding them back.
Breakthrough is for team members who are ready for more, but need clarity, alignment, and momentum to move forward.
