Succession Planning

As organizations grow, expand and age, they need to work through leadership transitions and succession planning. This is not something that can be dealt with overnight and may require a lot of sensitivity.

Many challenges arise; ones we often encounter are:

  • Generational mindset differences (Millennials, Gen Xers, Baby Boomers, etc)
  • Leaders not willing to step down or give up some of their responsibilities when needed
  • Company not adapting to new trends or marketplace changes
  • New leadership not identified or being developed
  • No management training
  • Poor feedback process
  • Stagnant company culture

In succession planning, we help you get unstuck in order to move your team and organization successfully in the future.

We do this by:

  • Identifying rising talent
  • Building your bench
  • Evaluating current leaders, talent and roles
  • Forecasting for business growth
  • Addressing current company challenges
  • Identifying company culture including strengths and weaknesses

Testimonials

I have had the privilege of working with Liz Bentley for more than 15 years, and her impact has been transformational. She has changed my life through an incredible ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and push you to see what is possible—often before you see it yourself. Her guidance has shaped the way I lead, communicate, and make decisions, both professionally and personally. She is not just an executive coach; she is a trusted thought partner and catalyst for meaningful growth.

Liz has been instrumental in identifying growth areas within our leadership team. By understanding our culture and challenges, she designed solutions that are logical, achievable, and measurable. While the process demands full commitment, Liz has created a clear pathway forward that has our team’s full buy-in.

Liz has been an instrumental part of my success in building high performing teams across several companies. She has a unique ability to identify opportunities for my continual improvement as an executive. Moreover, she understands how to put that into action in the context of real world corporate dynamics on a daily basis.

Within three months of coaching with Liz Bentley’s team my business experienced a transformational, tectonic shift resulting in a year-end surge in real estate sales from $100M to $200M. Significantly, LBA team workshops have imbued an increased awareness of personality styles, meaning intercommunications amongst teammates and with clients have never been more navigable or rewarding. LBA’s unique brand of architecture through coaching has transcended every integral component of my business, including strategic planning, personal development & branding, employee/teammate management and life balance. I consider partnering with LBA to be one of the greatest decisions I’ve made in my career.

Liz is a very dynamic presenter and her experience in the corporate world made her a convincing voice and role model for considering fundamental changes in my leadership style. The skills and techniques I learned from Liz have made an immediate impact on my leadership skills, and perhaps more importantly, sharpened the vision for my personal and career goals. I would strongly recommend Liz to anyone looking to grow as a professional, and as a person.
