1:1 Executive Coaching
Executive Coaching That Delivers at Board Level
But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what Chris, Chief Technology Officer of Succession Wealth had to say:
"Over the past 18 months, the coaching has delivered clear return on investment, not only in terms of personal growth but also from a business standpoint. I've developed into a more effective leader, with greater confidence in challenging others and asking incisive questions, particularly in more senior (Board, ExCo) meetings. I now approach moments of tension with composure and respond to unexpected questions with clarity and thoughtfulness."

Carol's coaching style allowed for a relaxed environment and created the opportunity for me to lead on finding the solutions to dealing with my obstacles. It brought me back to focusing on my core values and became the catalyst for reframing of my thoughts and feelings in such a way that I have become a lot more positive about my direction. I have a strong sense of discipline, and therefore trust my assurance to self that I will maintain the progress achieved over the course of the coaching sessions.
I've learnt so much about myself and others, including strengths I didn't know I had and how to adapt to differing styles. My relationships with my team have improved, and conversations are more meaningful and better prepared. Wendy makes sessions fluid and easy to engage with, and her support has been invaluable in helping me navigate challenges and grow. I am happy to recommend The Leadership Coaches."
The executive coaching has been absolutely life changing. The lessons I've learned during this time are unforgettable. The structured approach my coach brought to the coaching aligned perfectly with how I work as a person, making the experience incredibly impactful. The results have been massive - our profitability has soared thanks to a stronger, more cohesive team."
Frequently Asked Questions
Here, we share just a few of our frequently asked questions surrounding one-to-one executive coaching.
At The Leadership Coaches, we offer each coachee the opportunity to participate in a coaching chemistry session. These sessions enable the coachee to meet with one or two of our coaches to determine if the chemistry is right for a trust-based relationship.
The number of coaching sessions required entirely depends on the coachee. However, a typical coaching package often includes six-monthly one-to-one coaching sessions and three triad preparation/review meetings.
Throughout coaching sessions, the coach supports the coachee and employs tools to learn more about them and how they manage various situations. All of our coaches have a wealth of experience in leadership coaching; the years they’ve spent training, refining, and in supervision, means you can be confident they will be able to support development towards goal achievement.
Executive coaching and one-to-one leadership coaching are similar. Both coaching styles support coachees in enhancing their performance at work, and both help individuals develop new skills and relationships with colleagues and employees.
Executive coaching is important for various reasons. It provides leaders with a space to talk openly and is designed to provide a thinking space. In addition, executive coaching can support work-life balance and well-being, offer different perspectives, and reaffirms for leaders the value of nurturing themselves. There are many other benefits of executive coaching, which you can read about here.
