Executive Coaching
Coaching is confidential, one-to-one conversations with a trusted outsider. Conversations are typically focused on knowledge, skills and work performance. Coaching offers a personalized approach to meeting today’s challenges and gives you time and space to prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.It is efficient because, unlike traditional consulting assignments, it does not require invasive processes, large outside teams, and lengthy reports and analyses to get results. It is a high-impact process because Executive Coaches typically work with clients in short meetings (i.e., 30-60 minutes per session). During this time, the coach and client can generate important insights, gain clarity, focus, and make decisions to improve performance.Executive Coaching works with high-performing people in leadership roles. It is not therapy, meant to “fix” a
person. As an Executive Coach, our clients are already highly functioning, successful people. Like any of us,
they need support from time to time in order to perform better.

1:1 Executive Coaching process
We deliver executive coaching sessions face to face, virtually or a mixture of both formats. We work collaboratively with each client to ensure that their needs and objectives are understood before facilitating a match with a coach. Clients are provided with coach profiles and we aim to ensure each person is matched with a coach they are comfortable with and aligned with their values. Each client is taken through an evaluation process to set benchmarks prior to coaching and a final evaluation session to provide details on development and return on investment. Throughout the coaching process, regular update reports on coaching progress and status are provided including trends, progress and recommendations, and respecting the confidentiality of the coaching.
Our global network of coaches are professionally certified coaches accredited by the International Coaching Federation and are committed to ongoing coaching supervision. In most case our coaches can deliver sessions in the local language, ensuring the coachee can fully understand the conversation and get the best out of it. Coaching can also be arranged on an ad hoc, one- off basis and as part of our leadership development programs.
