Executive Coaching Services

We work in collaboration with key organizational stakeholders and individual coaching clients to define measurable and inspiring outcomes for the coaching relationship. A typical engagement runs from six to nine months. Below is a sample outline.

Elements of a Typical Executive Coaching Engagement

“Pre-Engagment: Meet with organizational stakeholders to discuss the desired goals for the coaching engagement; client meets with Leading for Good coach to confirm chemistry and fit. ”
— I.
“Kick-Off: Client completes intake survey and worksheets, and reviews coaching guidelines. ”
— II.
“First Month: We spend initial coaching sessions getting to know clients and building a strong foundation for a co-created partnership; we go slow to go fast around mining, defining, refining and shining a portfolio of concrete, distinct, memorable, and inspiring objectives.”
— III.
“Assessments: We use assessments to further our client’s self-awareness around talents, traits, triggers and work preferences. Most commonly, we offer the Gallup Strengthsfinder, the SCARF Assessment, and/or the Positive Intelligence Assessment. We kick off engagements with either an interview-based 360 or a research-validated and benchmarked online 360 survey tool, such as Leadership Circle Profile to understand current perceptions of clients’ strengths and opportunities.”
— IV.
“Ongoing Sessions: We hold 1-hour coaching sessions on a bi-monthly cadence; this is frequent enough to maintain momentum and connection, while offering enough space for application in the course of an executive’s demanding schedule. We are continually available to clients between sessions for correspondence and live support. ”
— V.
“Completion: We make space in our final sessions to reflect on and celebrate key insights and progress and how to sustain change efforts, mindsets and habits independently. Often, we will continue to work with clients on a less frequent basis for maintenance.”
— VI.

Dyad and Team Coaching

Is your team so focused on business results and demands that process and relationships get short shrift? Are there hard conversations your team members are avoiding? Are tensions rising to the point that it is getting in the way of the work? As trained mediators, we help team members get unstuck so everyone can do their best work without tensions and drama.  

We provide team coaching services to dyads and small groups of senior leaders. Often, we work with clients to address the following types of issues:

  • Repair strained relationships among/between leaders 

  • Establish new norms for working effectively in a virtual/hybrid environment

  • Create a shared vision for the future of their organization

  • Differentiate and align different team member's roles and priorities

  • Debrief 360 feedback surveys as a group to gain insights for individual and collective leadership

Our Process:

We typically use client context to guide our scope and number of sessions. At times, we may need only 2-3 sessions to resolve an issue; in other cases, a team may benefit from monthly or quarterly coaching sessions with key stakeholders to stay connected and in concert with one another.
