Workshop

Start Strong: Your First 90 Days as a Leader

Lisa Friscia

Strategic Advisor & Fractional CPO

Build credibility, create momentum, and avoid costly mistakes as a new leader

Stepping into a new leadership role can feel like drinking from a firehose. You're expected to build relationships, make decisions, demonstrate progress, and inspire confidence—often before you've had time to fully understand the situation you've inherited.

That's why so many leaders struggle during their first few months. They move too quickly and solve the wrong problems, or they spend so much time learning that they fail to build momentum.

The strongest leaders know how to balance both.

In this interactive workshop, you'll create a practical roadmap for your first 90 days. Together, we'll clarify what you're actually being asked to solve, identify the stakeholders who will have the biggest impact on your success, uncover opportunities for meaningful early wins, and build a plan for turning insight into action.

Instead of wondering where to focus, what to prioritize, or whether you're making the right moves, you'll have a clear strategy for navigating your transition with confidence. No more second-guessing your priorities—or yourself.

You'll walk away with a stakeholder map, communication strategy, early-win plan, and draft 30-60-90 roadmap.
