A Five-Step Framework for Your First 90 Days — Diagnose the situation, agree on success, protect the time to lead, pick wins that count, and win over the skeptics.
The Complete Companion Workbook — The workbook you’ll write in during the workshop, including your situation read, conversation planner, power map, calendar defense plan, early wins, and stakeholder strategy.

A Personalized 60-Minute Working Session with Robert Castle — A follow-up session focused specifically on your transition, your organization, your stakeholders, and the game plan you need to move forward.
What You'll Learn
Your First Situation Read — A weighted, dated first assessment of the organization, its challenges, opportunities, people, and culture—so you’re working from evidence instead of assumptions.
The STARS Evidence Worksheet — A practical tool for assessing the situation you’re walking into and identifying the type of leadership approach it requires.
The Five Essential Questions Card — The exact questions to ask your boss, peers, direct reports, long-tenured employees, and customers to uncover what’s really happening inside the organization.

The Five-Conversation Planner — A step-by-step guide for conversations about the situation, expectations, leadership style, resources, and personal development.
A Draft of What Success Looks Like at Day 90 — A written definition of “winning” that you can use to align expectations with your boss and avoid being judged by standards nobody ever explained.
The Diagnosis-Window Script — The exact language you can use to buy yourself time to understand the situation before being pressured to make decisions too quickly.
A Power Map of Your Organization — A practical template for identifying advocates, neutrals, likely opponents, and the key people who influence whether you’re seen as credible.
A Calendar Defense Plan — A framework for protecting the time you need to lead, rather than allowing day-to-day demands to consume your entire first quarter.
The “What You Will Stop Doing” Workbook Exercise — A way to decide what must come off your calendar so you can make room for the transition work your new role requires.
An Early Wins Scoring Sheet — A simple system for evaluating potential early wins based on business impact, speed, available resources, long-term value, and the behavior change they create.
