About Dale
Leadership transition coach, mentor & support
As a former senior leader and operations manager, my approach to supporting transitions into leadership is grounded in your real context, real experiences, and real needs.
I work with leaders moving through critical career transitions, where responsibility, visibility, and consequence increase faster than preparation usually does.
My focus is helping you build internal readiness to prepare for what comes next in your management and leadership journey.

My focus as a leadership transition coach
- How you think and exercise judgement.
- How you build trust and influence.
- How you lead under pressure.
- How your behavior lands with others.
- How you deliver through people, not just performance.
TwP model and TwR framework
TwP is the Transition with Purpose model I use to help leaders make sense of the shift in front of them. The TwR is the Transition with Readiness framework i use to help you prepare for what the role will demand and build readiness deliberately. Rather than treating leadership transitions as a simple skills upgrade, the model and the framework work as one through internal questions leaders need to answer as responsibility, visibility and consequence increase.
TwP model
The five-phase TwP model provides a practical structure for working through leadership transition with clarity and intent.
- Assess: clarify where you are heading and what the transition is asking of you.
- Align: test whether you are prepared and ready to grow into the next level.
- Activate: identify what capabilities, behaviours and development work need to shift now.
- Amplify: understand how you are perceived and who will support your success.
- Evolve: step into a new level of identity, capability, and leadership impact.
What my clients think
Clients choose this work because it is practical and direct: focused on real leadership behavior in real organizations.
At turning points in careers and team leadership, this approach supports confidence, steadiness, and impact.
How to work with me
If you are leveling up or making a leadership transition, start with a conversation about where you are now and what readiness is required next.
You will leave with a clearer sense of the transition you are facing, potential gaps, and whether working together is the right fit.
