Is this for you?

Who this is for

Executive leadership coaching is for leaders whose work is mostly about other people.

You're a new executive

Recently promoted into the C-suite or onto an exec team. The work is no longer about being the smartest individual contributor — and the muscle memory hasn't caught up yet.

You inherited complexity

A bigger team, more stakeholders, deeper politics. You need a sparring partner who's seen this scale and can help you sequence what to fix.

You want a confidential thinking partner

You can't process every decision with your team, your board, or your peers. You need somewhere safe to think out loud — and someone who'll push back.

How it works

An engagement built for executives

Less about frameworks. More about you, your team, and the decisions in front of you this quarter.

01

Listen and baseline

Stakeholder interviews (optional), self-assessments, and a candid look at the role, your team, and the next 12 months.

02

Set the agenda

We agree on three to five focus areas — could be presence, team design, board management, succession, energy, or hard conversations you're avoiding.

03

Coach in real time

Structured working sessions calibrated to what's live for you right now — calendars, key conversations, board moments, hard decisions. Cadence set by what the work needs.

04

Develop and review

Quarterly reviews with you (and optionally your boss or board chair) to confirm progress and reset priorities.

What you get

What's included

  • Structured 1:1 leadership sessionsFocused, in-depth conversations calibrated to your calendar and priorities — cadence set by what the work needs.
  • Full assessment batteryDISC, Driving Forces, EQ, and optionally a 360-degree feedback survey from peers, reports, and your manager.
  • 360 feedback (optional)Structured input from the people around you, aggregated and themed — used as raw material for the coaching, not as a performance review.
  • Stakeholder coordinationIf your sponsor is the board chair, CEO, or CHRO, I work with them on cadence and high-level themes — without breaching session confidentiality.
  • Always-on async accessFor the decision that can't wait two weeks. Voice notes, email, or a 15-minute call.

The DISC debrief provided powerful clarity around my communication style, leadership strengths, and how I show up in relationships and work. Small shifts in awareness create stronger alignment and impact.

FAQs

Common questions

Twelve months is common for executive coaching. Six months works if the brief is narrow. Anything shorter usually isn't enough time for behaviors and team dynamics to shift.
Yes. Session content stays between you and your coach. If a sponsor is funding the engagement, we share high-level themes and progress at agreed checkpoints — and only with the executive's knowledge.
Absolutely. Many engagements include team assessments, leadership offsites, or coaching for direct reports. We scope that separately so the 1:1 work stays focused.
Yes. Coaching often touches board management — preparing for meetings, navigating board dynamics, succession planning. I've worked with leaders at every level of the board relationship.
