Executive coaching (one-to-one coaching) is when a person works individually with a coach on their own particular areas of strengths and weaknesses to fulfil their potential.

Executive coaching is a modern day concept that synthesizes the best from psychology, business, communications, mentoring, counselling, consulting, transformation, philosophy, spirituality, finance and sports.

Executive coaching works best when used to help individuals address specific professional development issues or to assist when taking on a particularly challenging work role of project.

Executive coaching helps the client set better goals, and reach your goals faster, make better decisions, and improve your relationships.

Executive coaching services provide professional and personal development that is particularly appropriate for those in senior positions who have little time and for whom being lonely at the top can be a common experience.

Executive coaching is driven by the needs of the client. It is about assisting people to achieve their full potential, with a focus on what they want to achieve now and in the future. It is a partnership between the executive coaches and the client and is for a defined period of time.

Our clients describe their executive coaching (one-to-one coaching) as being similar to having a tailor-made MBA.

Executive coaching focuses primarily on what they themselves want to excel at and in away that it brings the best that they themselves are capable of. Executive coaching really is an accelerating process of developing internal executive leadership.

Executive coaching develops emotional intelligence (EQ), the essence of great leadership: “While IQ and analytical abilities in leaders are an important criteria for success (influencing and increasing profit by an average of 50%), EQ (self-management, relationship-management, social-management, social-awareness and self-awareness) has been shown to increase incremental profit by 390%.”*

“A fun, motivational and totally unique style of fast-track leadership development that has delivered far more than I thought possible. At the start of the executive coaching I had a goal to become a Director in 18 months to 2 years time. Through the coaching, I was offered a Directorship after 6 months. As a manager and individual I feel totally revived and have gained instant benefit allowing me to achieve and surpass my desired objectives. If I had known the impact it had, I would have paid for it myself and done it ages ago!”
Paul Clements, UK Sales Manager, Shanks Waste Management Limited
