Individual Executive Coaching

Executive Coaching helps in unlocking leadership potential and strengthening organisational talent. Our coaching style is targeted, personal, and performance-focused. With deep behavioural science knowledge and commercial insights, our coaches use psychological understanding to identify success enablers and derailers. We collaborate closely with leaders, aligning with future business needs, and triangulate with line managers or boards to achieve top outcomes, ensuring a tailored approach to support leaders in achieving their goals.

Leadership Team Coaching

Teams are complex entities with unique dynamics. We help teams understand and align on purpose, build trust, resolve conflicts, and achieve collective goals. Our coaches specialise in team dynamics, using targeted techniques to uncover collaboration issues and create a safe space for sharing. Based on systems theory, we support teams in making high-quality decisions, taking ownership, and achieving results that benefit the entire organisation.

Executive Profiling

We provide robust, psychologically informed assessments for leader development and senior talent acquisition. Using diverse psychometric tools, we deliver accurate, independent evaluations of leaders or potential hires. With over 15 years of experience, we understand individual behaviours and executive role needs. We partner with clients to enhance the selection process of short-listed candidates, adding rigour and consistency through specialised techniques and tools.
