Complimentary for Ambition candidatesYou got the role. Now let's make it count.
Congratulations on your new role. Ambition's support doesn't stop at the offer: as part of their commitment to Building Better Futures, you're invited to a complimentary performance coaching session with Paul McCormack. It's time to set yourself up to hit the ground running and perform at your best, at work and outside it.
Confidential. What you discuss isn't shared with Ambition or your new employer.
The thoughts that come with the offer letter.
Most people starting a new role feel two things at once: the pressure of stepping up, and the pull of a genuine fresh start.
I need to prove myself, and quickly.Proving yourself
What if the step up is bigger than I thought?Self-doubt
Everything will feel urgent. How do I stay focused on what matters?Time and focus
This is my chance to build the kind of team I've always wanted to lead.Opportunity
I want to start with better habits than last time, at work and at home.A fresh start
Both are normal. Coaching helps you manage one and make the most of the other.
So what is coaching, exactly?
Coaching is a structured one-to-one conversation that helps you get clear on what you want, understand what's getting in the way, and turn that into action you actually follow through on. You bring the context. Here's what Paul brings:
Thoughtful questions
To sharpen your own thinking about the role and your priorities.
Constructive challenge
To test assumptions and spot blind spots early.
Practical frameworks
Tools for focus, energy and habits that fit real working weeks.
Agreed actions
Clear next steps, so insight turns into progress.
Your performance doesn't start with your to-do list.
How you think affects how you feel, and how you feel affects how you perform. When they're aligned, you get:
- Clarity
- On where you're going, and the few priorities that matter most.
- Confidence
- That you can get there, backed by how you think and how you live.
- Consistency
- To follow through when motivation fades and life gets busy.
In and out of work.
How you sleep, train, switch off and show up at home shapes how you lead at work. We work on both, because success should improve your life, not cost you one.
60 minutes, focused entirely on you.
Bring a real challenge, opportunity or goal, and leave with clarity and practical next steps. If you're interested in continuing, we can talk through options at the end. There's no need to decide on the call.
What you'll leave with
- A clear picture of what success looks like for you in and out of this role
- Your two or three highest-impact priorities
- Practical next steps you can act on this week
- Where you stand on clarity, confidence and consistency, and what to work on first
Book a time, come as you are, 60 minutes by video. Best timing: during your notice period or within your first 30 days.

Clarity is the start. Coaching helps you act on it.
One session gives you priorities. Ongoing coaching helps you follow through once the real pressures of the role show up. Coaching runs over your first six months, with a session each month and support in between.
Settle, prioritise and build credibility
Build key relationships, choose where to focus and land early wins.
Strengthen consistency
Keep performing as expectations and demands grow.
Embed and sustain
Lock in the habits that work, so your performance lasts well beyond the honeymoon period.
