Executive Advising & Coaching

Experience a proven approach to advising and coaching senior executives, tailored to address the specific leadership and communication capabilities needed by the individual executive we’re working with.

The process varies based on the individual’s unique needs, but often follows this high level approach:

  • Intake – We review any documents that might be useful to inform our work together, such as performance reviews, 360-degree feedback, etc. We then conduct an initial meeting to discuss the process of coaching and advising, outcomes, the best ways to work together, as well as the path forward.
  • Discovery – During the discovery step, we interview 4-5 individuals familiar with what the leader does well, and how they can be even better. This information is compiled into a report, which is shared with with the leader as part of goal setting. 
  • Goal setting/plan – Based on discussions thus far, we work with the leader to identify 1-3 specific, measurable goals for the coaching engagement and develop an action plan. This often include ways to change behavior in selected areas as well as techniques to change perceptions of behavior.
  • Ongoing coaching – The leader and coach meet periodically to discuss what is working and what needs to change.
  • Check-in – After approximately six months, we conduct a mini-survey of the people interviewed in the Discover phase to determine progress overall and in selected areas of improvement.  Results are reviewed and celebrated. A plan is developed for ongoing efforts or ending coaching.
