Executive Coaching
As a premium executive coaching company, at The Leadership Coaches we don’t believe that coaching should just be a “nice” experience. Executive coaching should be a strategic exercise that aligns the needs of senior leaders with business goals, to help everyone exceed their ambitions.
Most importantly, executive coaching should be delivering a return on investment.
This isn’t just something we say. All of our actions are built on ensuring success. This includes key elements of our service, such as a personalised coach matching process, a strategic programme of coaching, measured results, and admin support where we take care of all the logistics.
If you’d like to find out more about how you could be achieving a return on investment with your executive coaching, then please get in touch. We’d love to explore how we can help.
Securing a Return on Investment
At The Leadership Coaches, we don’t accept that you can’t track a return on investment through coaching. Working with our clients, we’ve been able to demonstrate tangible change that has led to real business benefits, meeting both the objectives of the individual coachee, as well as overall business goals.
We help to ensure a return on investment by putting our focus where it makes the difference. This includes:
-
Sophisticated Coach Matching – We take the time to get to know the coachee and we make human decisions on which coach could be the best fit. Coachees can then choose between two potential matches in our chemistry sessions
-
Sponsored Coaching – We always recommend sponsored coaching, using someone as the ‘eye in the business’ to provide honest feedback, to genuinely measure results. It is through strategic approaches, such as this, where we are able to demonstrate tangible differences
-
Transparent Communications – We make sure there are open lines of communication between the business and the coachee, so that everyone’s needs are met
-
Full Support – An account manager helps to manage the coaching process, and every coachee and sponsor gets a login to our portal, providing ongoing support
-
Feedback and reporting – The sponsored coaching approach provides visible results, and we also offer stakeholder discovery calls to supply more in depth feedback if required

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 have been running my own business for 35 years and thought I knew everything... until I met Wendy. She taught me some important skills about better communication and how to remove self-limiting beliefs that we are all plagued with but try to keep macho quiet. Once these were lifted I used the skills that Wendy covered and it is now a joy to go to work and talk to my staff in terms of what motivates them rather than what I want. I can't recommend what Wendy does enough, the value is almost life-changing.
Navjeet has a talent for honing into the heart of an issue. She supported me during a difficult transition period of my life and helped me view my situation and feelings more objectively.
Navjeet has a wonderful way of facilitating discussions with empathy while offering razor-sharp insight. During my work with her, I learned to look at things through a different lens and develop resilience to work through what felt like insurmountable issues. I would highly recommend her any personal or professional coaching.
I worked with Simon on career coaching. At the time I needed some clarity on various career options. Simon helped me to consider my options and fully explore the pros and cons for all those I had been thinking about. He helped to provide some real clarity and made me realise just how unhappy I was in my current job. As a result of our sessions I had the confidence to apply for a new job, I was successful (and left my old job). This was a big step as I had been there for a long time. Simon was an excellent coach, totally professional and I would recommend him to anyone without any reservation.

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.
