I was very excited about my new role and knew that I had the right technical background for the task. However, I was concerned about making the wrong first impressions or not meeting my teams' expectations. I wanted to have a solid start and keep the momentum and engagement high.

My greatest learnings were in the area of knowing yourself and that taking the time to get to know your new team properly definitely pays off. After the coaching programme, I felt that I had sharper expectations about my role and that I had a concrete plan for my first few weeks.

I enjoyed Katrin's very practical approach. For example, she didn’t just emphasize the importance of initial 1-on-1 discussions and a team workshop, but also helped me plan and structure these.
