Executive coaching for leaders
Creating step changes in leaders’ performance
What is leadership coaching?
Leadership coaching is the most effective way to help leaders turn insight into action and impact. Whether it’s ad hoc, ongoing, triggered by particular situations or part of a structured programme, our coaching is usually supported by a diagnostic phase, and is always person-centred because one size does not fit all.
Why leadership coaching?
Research shows coaching improves positive outcomes and return on investment from leadership development programmes significantly. The Centre for Creative Leadership found that leaders receiving coaching were rated as significantly more effective and inspiring to others.
How do we do it?
Further explanation 1
Effective coaching hinges on the formation of a trusting, supportive and challenging relationship between the coach and coachee. It starts with chemistry. We work with a wide pool of highly experienced executive coaches from diverse backgrounds spanning industries, professions and geographies. Many of them have held senior positions in private, public or not-for-profit organisations themselves. So, it’s likely you’ll find someone that you have good chemistry with.

The next steps in the coaching journey are to set the context so that the coach gains a good understanding of the leader’s business and challenges they face; discuss options the leader has for meeting their challenges; and agree on actions the leader will take. Throughout this process, our coaches draw out the leaders thoughts and feelings and challenge them to think differently. Finally, coaches hold leaders to account by generating actionable plans, discussing progress and overcoming roadblocks.Further explanation 3
