First 90 Days Coaching to Help You Thrive in Your New Role

First 90 Days Coaching

Start Strong. Build Credibility Fast. Set Yourself Up for Long-Term Success.

Stepping into a new role – especially at leadership or management level – is both exciting and overwhelming.

You want to make a strong first impression.
You want to deliver results early.
You want to feel confident and in control.

But you may also be thinking:

  • “What if I can’t deliver what they expect?”
  • “How do I build credibility quickly?”
  • “How do I lead a new team with confidence?”
  • “What if this role is bigger than I realised?”

You’re not alone.

Even high-performing professionals struggle during their first 90 days.

The difference is whether you approach this transition intentionally – or hope things fall into place.

This programme gives you the structure, clarity, and support you need to succeed from day one and avoid the early mistakes that hold new leaders back.

Common Questions

When should I start this programme?

Ideally a week before your new role begins, or within the first few weeks. Early support sets the right foundation.

What if I've already started my role?

That’s completely fine. Many clients start after their initial weeks. It’s never too late to course-correct.

Is this only for external hires?

No. This programme works equally well for internal promotions, leadership transitions, and role changes within the same organisation.

Ready to Start Your New Role With Confidence?

Your first 90 days will define how others perceive you – and the opportunities that follow.

Here’s What My Clients are Saying…

Finally I have some good news for you! I’ve had some final meetings today and received an offer. This was for one of the positions where I did the first interview last Friday. We were quite far apart on salary but they called me back this evening and increased it by 30%. The role is corporate finance / M&A at an independent company. I think it is a good choice and I start on Thursday! Many thanks for all your help. It wasn’t the easiest of processes for me and I think the catalyst of doing something to improve my interview performance definitely helped.
Colm S.

Corporate finance/M&A

I found my performance during job interviews needed improvement. Margaret Buj sent me her e-books, a blueprint on the basics of doing interviews and we did a practice interview and some exercises: optimizing my story and confidence. She provided concrete and fast answers to every question asked.

A very enjoyable experience, with a pleasant person. Worth every penny. I gladly recommend Margaret Buj as an Interview Coach to anyone in a similar situation.

I engaged with Margaret for senior executive interview training. She took time to understand me and my skills then went through a process of preparing me for interviews including feedback on my CV. Margaret is clearly very knowledgeable about what drives recruiters at large organisations and her expert advice helped me land my ideal role.

I had interviews with two companies since I last saw you and it looks like I got a job with one of them. Apparently I’m the one they want (already had the call from HR talking me through their benefits and the recruiter confirmed that I’m the preferred candidate), now we’re just waiting for sign-off from the US. It seems to take quite a while, fingers crossed. Anyway, I’m sure it had a lot to do with the interview training, I felt so much more in control and had a lot more to say than in previous interviews. So thank you! It’s a really good job with a global company, lots of travel and with a lot of scope for my career.

So whatever happens, I’m much more confident in interview situations…so glad I had the training. The material you sent was also very useful.
