The first few years after Owen move fast. A first management role, a new industry, a team that suddenly looks to you for answers — this stretch of a career is exactly when an outside thinking partner pays off the most, and exactly when a full executive coaching engagement can feel out of reach.
That is why the Leadership Development Program offers coaching designed specifically for recent graduates. If you hold an Owen degree and graduated within the last three years, you have access to Accelerate Impact, a coaching offering built for early-career alumni: the same vetted Owen Coaching Network coaches, in an engagement sized and priced for where you are right now.
Why Coaching This Early?
The habits you build in your first roles tend to stick. Alumni who engage a coach early tell us the value shows up in a few places:
Stepping into management for the first time
Moving from doing the work to leading the people who do it.
Making a transition stick
A new company, industry, or function, and wanting to get the first 90 days right.
Getting an honest read on yourself
Understanding how you come across before the patterns harden.
Building the reflection habit
Learning to assess your own effectiveness in a structured way, early enough that it compounds.
What the Offering Includes
Accelerate Impact is a shorter, lower-cost engagement than the standard Executive Coaching packages, with the same caliber of coach. See Let's Get Started for the details and the steps to begin.
More than three years out? The full Owen Coaching Network is open to you, with three packages to choose from.
