Board Development & Executive Coaching

As one of Europe’s leading human capital firms, our Boardroom Development and Executive Coaching Services are built on our deep understanding of the challenges that you face as leaders. This flagship service sets the standard in coaching for the most senior individuals and teams in your organisation.

The service is aimed at executives with outstanding personal track records who are both excited and humbled by the responsibility for leading others. Our challenging and supportive style matches the level of performance that you are seeking in the Boardroom and helps you, individually and as a team, to be the best leaders that you can be.

Our Board level services are co-created with the key individuals in your organisation, in confidence and with discretion. We understand the realities of the Boardroom and we offer the flexibility that is often required to match changing priorities at the top of your business.

Our Boardroom conversations often begin with an Executive who raises issues such as:

• What areas do I focus on that will really make a difference?
• The Board is not operating at its full potential, what will it take for us to perform at our best?
• We will soon face a succession issue. How do we prepare to select and welcome a new member of our team with minimal disruption?
• The main constraint to the growth of our business is developing new leaders within the business. How, as a Board, can we address this issue?
• As CEO I feel isolated. I need to build a sense of team on the Board quickly and I need a personal sounding board.
• This is my first role as CEO; how do I need to lead differently?

Our Board offering is made up of a small team of highly experienced and complimentary performance consultants. They play the role of coach, facilitator and provocateur. This team works with the executive team in 3 dimensions:

•  Individually
Each member of your Executive Team has his or her own personal coach.

•  Tag Team
Each coach is also available to work individually with other members of the Executive Team and their personal coach. This is especially useful when working in developing particular skills such as powerful communication, influence and impact or strategic thinking.

•  Team on Team
Our team of coaches work together with your whole executive team. This ensures complete alignment and laser-like focus on what is really going to make the difference.
