Executive Coaching for Senior Leaders... with organizational outcomes in mind

Supporting HR and L&D leaders through leadership transitions, complexity, and high-stakes development decisions.

Executive Leadership

Five Strategic Considerations for HR & L&D Leaders Selecting a Coach.

01

Business Alignment

When engaging an external executive coach, how clearly are leadership objectives connected to the business outcomes your organization actually cares about?

A. Alignment is mostly implicit and evolves through conversation
B. Alignment is defined early but reviewed informally
C. Alignment is explicitly defined and reviewed over time
THE APPROACH

This is a common spectrum. In my work, I ensure leadership goals are meaningfully connected to business outcomes... without over-engineering the process or constraining the work.

02

Executive Credibility

What level of operating or leadership experience does a coach need in order to be taken seriously by your senior leaders?

A. Depth of coaching skill matters more than operating background
B. A balance of coaching rigor and leadership exposure is important
C. Direct experience at senior leadership levels is essential
THE APPROACH

Different organizations weight this differently. I work in a way that establishes credibility quickly with senior leaders while keeping the focus on the leader's real context.

03

Process and Structure

How structured do you expect an executive coaching engagement to be once it's underway?

A. Largely emergent, guided by the leader's needs
B. Light structure with flexibility built in
C. Clearly defined process with regular review points
THE APPROACH

All three approaches show up in practice. I adapt my process to the level of structure that best supports both the leader and the organization.

04

Stakeholder Management

How do you typically balance confidentiality for the coachee with accountability to the organization?

A. Confidentiality is prioritised, with minimal sponsor involvement
B. Periodic check-ins with sponsors are helpful
C. Clear sponsor touchpoints are expected throughout
THE APPROACH

This balance is often where coaching engagements succeed or struggle. I'm experienced in navigating tri-partite relationships with clarity and care.

05

Risk, Fit, and Values

From an organizational standpoint, what makes a coaching engagement feel "safe"?

A. Strong personal rapport and trust
B. Alignment with organizational culture and values
C. Clear boundaries, ethics, and professional standards
THE APPROACH

These considerations are rarely explicit, but they matter. My approach places equal weight on trust, cultural fit, and professional rigor.
