An executive coach doesn’t just build process for individuals, a coach helps with so much more – from design transformation, change management, process, and disciplined execution – our collaboration with executive teams simplifies the complex, disrupts mediocrity, and demonstrates how to avoid spending time on things that don’t add value. We provide organizations with the foundation for scale and change.
Dedicated Coaching
Creating World-Class Teams
Upgrade Your Meetings
With an executive coach as a facilitator at key meetings, all members of the leadership team can be fully present and participating fully. A coach can help maintain a free flow of ideas and work through challenges that arise among key players
Go Deeper
An executive coach will know how to probe when a team is not fully bought in, dig for root causes of issues being discussed, insist on defining measurable activities and outcomes for key initiatives, and call out the elephant in the room that everyone is avoiding.
Demand BIG Results
Is your leadership team really pushing itself to achieve something difficult, something that would truly make you celebrate? An executive coach can help your team think BIGger and laser focused on revenue and profit.
“Through the magic of the process we were able to sell the business for $340 million.”
—Eric Bensussen, CEO, PowerA
Every World-Class Team Needs a Coach
C-Suite Coaching combined with annual and quarterly planning sessions helps with the following challenges:
Lack of Focus
Many leadership teams fall into the trap of focusing on too much. A coach can help your leadership team determine what needs to happen to achieve what you want.
Ineffective Measurement
Does your leadership team track performance so that they can make strategic adjustments to keep the team focused on Huge Outrageous Targets? An executive team can help define the specific and measurable activities that will drive each outcome and evaluate it closely along the way.
Myopic Thinking
Sometimes executive teams are so distracted by the day-to-day, they lose sight of the big picture and the activities it will take to get there. An executive coach can keep the team honest about their mindset and keep them thinking and working toward BIGger.
Team Accountability
Just as a CEO needs to be held accountable, a leadership team does too. Our coaches can help you structure a Company Dashboard to ensure everyone knows the desired outcomes and the specific and measurable activities they are responsible for.
Complex Dynamics
An executive team coach will understand the business, but remains distant enough from complicated emotions and egos that often prevent leadership teams from performing at their best. Our coaches can help you address challenging personality dynamics that impede growth.
Future Planning
The most successful companies know what they need to get them where they want to go. An executive coach can help determine how you need to staff the team to arrive at your Org of The Future.

What is C-Suite coaching and how is it different from executive coaching?
C-suite coaching is a personalized development process aimed at senior executives such as the CEO, CFO, CMO, CTO, or COO. Together, we’ll work on enhancing leadership skills, strategic thinking, and interpersonal effectiveness to drive organizational success. Our coaches can help your entire team level up or work 1:1 based on your team’s needs.
What are typical goals for a C-suite coaching engagement?
Every team needs a coach who can push them to be the best they can be. The right coach can assess each individual’s strengths and weaknesses to determine how they best work in a group—so your team can achieve more together. Common objectives include improving communication skills, developing a stronger strategic vision, enhancing decision-making abilities, managing organizational change, and fostering better team collaboration.
How does C-suite coaching help leadership teams work better together?
A coach helps facilitate key meetings, resolve interpersonal conflicts, define shared goals, and ensure all leaders are contributing to a cohesive, high-performing team. You can’t grow if you can’t collaborate. By bringing structure, accountability, and strategic alignment to leadership meetings and decision-making processes, C-suite coaching lays the groundwork for sustainable, accelerated growth.
What should I expect from my first group coaching session?
Your first coaching session will focus on understanding your goals, challenges, and opportunities as a team, as well as the CEO’s goals for the team. Your coach will help you clarify the CEO’s vision, assess your current situation as a team, and develop an initial action plan for the first 90 days and beyond based on your needs and desires.
How often do coaching sessions take place for my team?
The frequency of your coaching sessions is up to you and what you feel like your team needs the most. We can facilitate group sessions or work 1:1 with individual members of the C-Suite. Most coaching engagements include biweekly or monthly sessions, along with ongoing support, accountability check-ins, and access to vetted resources and community events.
Do you offer in-person or virtual coaching sessions for the C-suite?
We offer remote, virtual coaching sessions alongside quarterly and/or annual in-person sessions with your entire team.
Can C-Suite coaching help fix dysfunctional leadership dynamics?
Yes. Coaches act as neutral facilitators who can identify unspoken issues and complex interpersonal dynamics to foster more productive communication among team members.
Can C-Suite coaching help with succession planning?
Yes, coaching provides guidance on leadership transitions, ensuring that the next generation of leadership is well-prepared and aligned with company goals. Coaches assist in evaluating current leadership gaps, forecasting future needs, and building an “Org of the Future” roadmap to achieve your strategic vision.
Can coaching help me build a high-performing team?
Absolutely. Coaches provide frameworks for hiring, retaining, and leading top talent to drive company success.
How long does a typical CEO coaching engagement last?
As you work together as a team, we recommend pursuing an ongoing coaching engagement that shifts as your needs and goals do. Long-term coaching ensures sustained growth, leadership development, and measurable impact for each member of the C-Suite. We can focus 1:1 on specific team members based on their strengths and weaknesses or assess as a group.
