Executive leadership coaching
Equipping leaders with the insight and momentum to unlock their potential
Developing leaders through impactful coaching
We recognise that the changing world of work now places much greater demands on leaders, with the need to navigate unprecedented levels of uncertainty and complexity; as a result, leaders now need to transform the way they think and behave more than ever. We’ve been coaching leaders for over 30 years, across all contexts and career stages, and our executive coaching is underpinned by deep psychological insight and extensive experience of working with leaders on all aspects of personal and professional growth.
Our executive leadership coaching equips leaders to:
- Harness strengths and adapt behaviour.
- Transition to new challenges.
- Drive transformational change.
- Navigate difficult decisions in a confidential space.
- Regain a sense of clarity and purpose.
- Take ownership over their development.
It begins with a process of ‘self-discovery’
Our suite of psychometric and 360 tools, based on the Primary Colours® Leadership Model, enable leaders to develop greater insight into their personality style and behavioural impact. We know that there is no one ‘correct’ leadership style and that the most effective leaders play to their strengths. We help leaders better understand how their personality influences their performance so they can become more intentional about how to dial up or down certain behaviours.
We coach at a deeper psychological level
Our senior-level coaches have significant experience working within businesses, bringing their knowledge of the ‘real world’ into their coaching practise. As business psychologists we work at a deeper psychological level and help leaders uncover the blockers standing in the way of achieving their desired goals. We don’t believe in ‘one approach fits all’ and our coaching packages and approach are tailored to the executive’s needs.
We focus on results based on targeted outcomes
Coaching is about change and transformation, and we focus on ensuring that desired changes are achieved. Whilst we can work with ‘open ended coaching’ if the need calls for it, we usually begin each coaching intervention by agreeing a set of targeted outcomes. We then work with the coachee in a focused and structured way to create long-lasting behavioural change and deliver measurable personal and business results.
Group coaching
To extend the benefits of reflective practice to a wider audience we provide group coaching (action learning sets). This enables individuals to learn from each other’s experiences, and provide one another with support and challenge when tackling their organisational challenges, with the view to becoming self-sufficient to operate as a learning set going forwards.
Benefits of group coaching include:
- Gaining exposure to diverse perspectives when tackling real issues.
- Developing networks and inter-connections across the organisation.
- Helping members develop their listening, questioning, reflecting and giving feedback skills.
- Providing a confidential sounding board and thinking space.
- Enhancing systems thinking.
What our clients say
The Edgecumbe team are a world-class business leadership consultancy.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the team as the go-to business leadership consultancy in the south west of England.
Simon Hill
Vice President at Microsoft
Having Jon as my coach in the Impact Group has been so beneficial. I have been lucky to have coaching in the past around my confidence and self-belief. Within an hour’s session Jon had got to the core of the issue, where so many others haven’t, and asked me a killer question that has enabled me to really focus on a few practical things that will make a huge difference. The impact groups themselves have been great and learning different techniques to be self-sufficient and support each other going forward without the need for Jon is his main aim and I think we are fully on track to succeed.
