The people nearest to change are often the last to notice it slipping.
A leadership integration practice for organisations managing transitions — and the leaders living them.
Preeti Kurani
Integration Coach & Consultant
I've sat in the room with leaders six months into a role that should have worked — watching the room quietly pull back from them, and no one to catch it in real time.
Maybe you've seen it too. The promotion that looked right on paper. The hire everyone was genuinely excited about. And then, somewhere past month three, something shifts. Everybody senses it. Nobody quite calls it out.
That’s the space I work in. The transition into the role, and the months after — when the leader is settling into the system, and the system is quietly forming its read.
Who I Work With
Organisations
Partnering with you as you manage a promotion, bring in an external hire, or support your leaders through an AI-driven role change. I align with you and work directly with the leader or group of leaders you're sponsoring.
Individuals
You've either made the move into a new role or organisation, or it's imminent, and you’d like to go in prepared and ready to direct what happens next.
How I Partner
Diagnostic — Anytime before or during transition
When you want confidence in the leader taking the seat, a strong understanding of what it will take to succeed, and the specific support they'll need to integrate well.
A Hogan-backed read before or during the transition: what drives the leader, how they work under pressure, and the support they’ll need.
Navigation — 100 days of weekly support from your start date
The first 100 days are when the reads form, the relationships set, and the patterns that will be harder to shift later begin to take hold. Support exists in this window — but rarely the kind that stays close to what the leader is actually navigating in real time.
2 x Day 0 sessions after the appointment is confirmed, then weekly support to Day 100, with access between sessions.
Start date to be within Day 0 to Day 30 of your transition
Integrative — Sustained support from Day 0
When the transition is already live, or about to be — I stay close: helping the leader align with key stakeholders and their team, stay on track with what's actually expected, surface what's hiding in plain sight, and find their footing in the new role.
Sustained support from Day 0 for 9 to 12 months to catch and address drift in real time, with sponsor alignment.

Why Work With Me
Lived, not theoretical
Twenty years inside senior leadership before I ever coached anyone — including a decade leading teams through the kind of high-stakes, reputation-driven environment where a misstep is expensive and visible. Seeing it clearly once I stepped outside it.
Measured, not assumed
Navigation and Integrative each include a Hogan read, so the work starts from evidence, not assumptions. It shows where the risk in a transition is likely to sit, so we are not guessing.
Tested, at scale
300+ leaders and 12 CHROs have sat across from me in this work. That's not a number I lead with lightly — it's the reason I know what actually moves a transition, and what doesn't.
Held, in confidence
What a leader tells me stays with the leader. What a sponsor tells me stays with the sponsor. Progress is shared only in three-way sessions.
The Flow
1/ The First Conversation
Not a pitch. A real conversation about the transition — what's actually working, what isn't, and where the gap sits. You leave with a genuine read on whether it's on track or whether the leader needs support getting there — from the system or from an integration coach.
2/ The Partnership
If what surfaced in the first conversation remains unresolved — or if providing the leader with the ongoing support they need competes with the sponsor’s day job — that's when I step in to support the sponsor(s) and the leader with more targeted, accessible support to help the transition work.
3/ The Work
Whatever the system and the leader need for the transition to hold begins — Diagnostic, Readiness, Navigation, Integrative — in part or in combination, and at the stage where it’s most needed. Built-in periodic reviews and realignment, and open feedback loops when something surfaces that needs immediate attention.
About Me
I lead organisational transition consulting and integration coaching at MindShifts.co, backed by 20+ years in senior leadership and 7 years of coaching.
I’ve held 2,300+ conversations with 300+ leaders and 12 CHROs — across financial services, pharma, automotive, tech, IT, and luxury — directly and through coaching partnerships.
I also work with a small number of leaders who come to this work on their own — because they want to be in charge of their own transition and integration without waiting to see what support the organisation offers. 3 to 5 every two months. Self-funded, direct, no intermediary.
I read every assessment myself. I run every debrief. I hold every session through to completion. That continuity — and the context it keeps intact — is the value I bring, for the leader and the organisation.
