Executive Coaching in the Workplace
1:1 coaching for your senior leaders, directors and high-potentials. Confidential, structured and grounded in 25 years of coaching practice.
Different from our other programmes. Leader as a Coach teaches a leader to coach their team. Executive Coaching brings a coach to your leader. Opposite direction, different outcome.
Who it's for
Senior leaders whose next level of growth is internal, not skills-based.
Executive coaching works when a leader needs space to think — not another course. We typically engage with:
- Newly-promoted executives stepping into a materially bigger role
- Senior leaders navigating transformation, restructure or acquisition
- High-potentials being groomed for the top team
- Directors who've plateaued and know something needs to shift
- Leaders handed 360 feedback that needs integrating
- Leaders wanting to become better coaches themselves, modelled on having been coached well
What executive coaching is
Structured thinking space. Not advice.
Executive coaching is a one-to-one, goal-oriented process that helps a leader deepen self-awareness, align with their values and accelerate their impact. It's not mentoring. It's not consultancy. It's not therapy.
It's a confidential thinking partnership, held by an experienced coach, that creates the conditions for a senior leader to work through the things they don't get space for in the day job — and to leave with more clarity, confidence and conscious choice than they came in with.
Every session is structured but unscripted. The leader sets the agenda. The coach holds the space.
How it works
A simple, four-step engagement.
STEP 1
Discovery call
A 15-minute conversation with our team to understand the leader, the context and the goal. No commitment.
STEP 2
Coach matching
We shortlist 2-3 coaches from our senior bench whose style and experience fit. The leader meets each for a 30-minute chemistry session at no cost.
STEP 3
Three-way contracting
Leader, coach and sponsor (usually HR or line manager) agree goals, boundaries and how success will be measured. Confidentiality is explicit.
STEP 4
Coaching engagement
Typically six 90-minute sessions across six months, in-person or online. Mid-point and end-of-engagement review with the sponsor.
Why organisations invest
The business case for executive coaching.
Our clients invest in executive coaching because they want to:
- Boost leadership effectiveness and confidence, particularly after promotion
- Enhance strategic thinking, decision-making and resilience
- Support succession planning and leadership transitions
- Improve team engagement, trust and performance by changing the leader at the top
- Address behavioural blind spots that impact culture and morale
- Retain high-potential talent by visibly investing in them
