Executive coaching for leaders and managers in London, Hampshire, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and across the UK.
The real power of executive coaching is that its consequences are felt across multiple layers of the business. Leaders and managers have a huge influence on a company’s performance and culture.
Just think about the number of relationships, direct and indirect, executives and leaders have in the workplace; how many peoples every day is affected by their output in some way? If executives and leaders are working uneconomically or unhelpfully, the exponential fallout greatly reduces the overall performance of the business. But if these individuals are operating efficiently and effectively, the positive impact is passed down and perpetuated through the many relationships they maintain.
Therein lies the true value of executive coaching; by fine-tuning and improving the performance of one individual we can have a large positive influence on the business as a whole.

What to Look for in a life coach for Executives
The most powerful predictor of the success of a coaching programme is the strength of the relationship between the coach and the coachee. This is why we run chemistry sessions between our coaches and potential coachees, giving both parties a chance to build rapport and develop a working contract together. In this way, our coachees play a crucial role in designing a coaching programme tailored specifically to them, from the ground up. This includes the practical things like length and number of sessions, but also the level of challenge that is desired, specific areas for exploration, as well as expectations and standards.
Executive coaching FAQs
What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching provides a space for senior individuals to fine tune and improve what they do. The focus of each coaching programme will differ depending on what the individual wants to work on, but will always drive towards improving performance and behaviour in the workplace.
What does the executive coaching process look like?
Coaching is a bit like a car journey. The coachee is in the drivers seat, they dictate the speed of the car and ultimately control the direction of travel. The coach is in the passenger seat, they offer navigational assistance and support the driver on the journey. You’ll notice that this metaphor puts a great deal of emphasis on the coachees input. In executive coaching, the coachee is not a passive passenger, but an active participant in the process. The coachee brings the content to the sessions in the form of whatever issue they are working through or area of performance that they would like to develop, and the role of the coach is to ask insightful questions and provide helpful models through which the coachee can gain clarity and make progress.
