Our Approach

Senior Executives require time and space to strategise with a trusted advisor.

Our coaching sessions provide you space, concentration, and confidentiality you need to handle your top priorities while keeping the bigger picture in mind.

ADAPT TO SCHEDULES

At the most senior levels, time is valuable and scarce. Schedules are crowded yet unpredictable as opportunities and crises emerge.

We offer tailored options that carve out the necessary time and space for reflection and visioning while maintaining the flexibility to address emerging situations. C-level leaders often appreciate off-hours coaching work, private coaching retreats, and other formats that fit with time and priorities.

ALIGNMENT BETWEEN THE CEO & SENIOR EXECUTIVE

The first step towards focusing an entire organisation on a single, relevant, and well-understood business strategy is a very strong alignment of the Senior Leadership Team, Sales,Marketing and Operations. Senior leadership teams come to us to test their alignment and to build a roadmap towards alignment to achieve record impact for their organisations and their people.

GET THE CONTEXT RIGHT

This entails swiftly grasping an individual leader's willingness to learn and be challenged in a healthy way, as well as imparting new knowledge to kickstart a successful coaching partnership.

TEAM BASED COACHING

In an age of increasing complexity, executing a successful strategy is more demanding than ever before. Becoming a high-performance senior leadership team involves trusting each other’s intentions, alignment on what is most important and agreeing to one vision.

When we create the opportunity for a senior leadership team to share a learning experience and leverage their own strengths, magic happens. Most senior leaders have never asked their CEO the most important priority for the company for a particular quarter or period of time. Implementing these little habits have proven to deliver fascinating results.

TEAM HEALTH ASSESSMENT

A dysfunctional senior leadership team can generate unneeded disruption, poor delivery and strategic failure. More importantly, it can putt innocent employee’s jobs at risk unnecessarily.

In most companies the best work and value is delivered through people, but this reliant on effective leadership. Senior leadership must achieve psychological safety, team synergy and a shared vision to unlocking their team’s full potential.
