Helping NEW EXECUTIVES
Become Exceptional
The best executives know what’s ahead.
Executiveland is your go-to resource where we prepare new executives to create value, deliver results, and make a meaningful impact while building a legacy.
You’re in the biggest role of your career. When you know what to expect, you open your eyes, grow your confidence, and become the best version of you.
Research from the Corporate Executive Board estimates that
50% to 70%
of executives fail within 18 months of being promoted, regardless of whether they were an external hire or promoted from within.
High-Performing Executives are
Highly Prepared Executives
Despite the executive development programs, the mentoring and training, and the courses taken at prestigious Ivy League universities, too many new executives say they are not adequately prepared for their roles.
If you’re a new executive, you might find that:
“It’s lonely at the top” only scratches the surface of what you’re experiencing.
A ‘first 100’ days onboarding model is nice in theory, but in reality, it’s more like, ‘first 30 days’.
You hoped for more support from peers instead of being doubted and second-guessed.
Your team is far from high-performing and resistant to change and new ideas.
You’re being flooded with information and there’s not enough time to prepare or think.
You’re getting little to no time with the CEO and the guidance or direction just isn’t there.
You’ve been given enormous goals and seriously doubt whether you can deliver results.
Everyone has an opinion and you spend countless hours each week getting stakeholders aligned.
Even at this level, you’re being excluded from important discussions and decisions.
The corporate politics are real and the mental gymnastics is exhausting.
You thought you wanted this job, but you’re starting to question how long you can last.
If you’re in a new executive role, and it’s not what you anticipated, welcome to the club.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
In the past few years, the world has changed dramatically, but most executives are still being prepared with an outdated playbook.

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
Highly accomplished leaders are capable of solving any of these challenges (and many more!) with the right information, skills, and belief in themselves.
Mistakes and missteps are often completely avoidable when you are prepared.
Welcome to EXECUTIVE LAND…
…the go-to resource where we help new executives know what to expect, what to avoid, and how to excel in the role of a lifetime.
Lead well, help others, and grow.
Now more than ever, the world needs great leaders. Executiveland invites anyone and everyone who calls themselves an executive or who aspires to be one. The only requirement is a desire to lead well, help others, and grow. When executives lead better, they live better and help others do the same.
