You don’t have to watch ‘West Wing’ to know that the first 100 days shapes the rest of your time in office. Get them right and your momentum is hard to halt. Get them wrong and you may never quite recover.

Drawing on both theory and practice, this workout explores documented research from past Prime Ministers, corporate leaders and Presidents (Franklin Roosevelt was the first to use the term). It also incorporates The Mind Gym’s experience of coaching new leaders at some of the world’s largest organisations.

It is packed with practical tools to use immediately, techniques that have had a surprisingly large impact and cautionary tales from those who rushed too fast, waited too long, listened too much or forgot to listen at all.

Whether you’re joining a new organisation or changing role in the same one, the tools in this workout are sure to get you off to a racing start.

In 90 minutes you will have

  • Set your priorities for your first 100 days.
  • Explored ways to make sure your time is spent how you want and how to avoid becoming your predecessor’s shadow.
  • Uncovered how to turn your lack of knowledge to everyone’s advantage.
  • Thought through how others will see your arrival and examined what pre-emptive action you can take to ease the path.
  • Developed a plan for your first 100 days.
