Executive Impact
Transformative Executive Coaching Programmes to Accelerate High-Performance and Retain Top Talent.
Don’t do the same old stuff…
Executive coaching is more than just a pathway to improved individual performance—it’s a strategic investment in the overall health and success of an organization. - Forbes, August 2024
According to Korn Ferry - One-third of Fortune 500 companies use Executive Coaches as part of standard leadership development for their executives and emerging leaders
A Metrix Global Study proved that Executive coaching offers a 788% return on investment (ROI), which includes factors such as enhanced productivity and improved employee retention.
Coaching works because it’s tailored; it’s specific to the individual leader and their specific needs. When investing in coaching a cohort of leaders in the same organisation, the ripple effect is exponential.
Elevate Performance
The performance of an executive team is averaged by its members. When you elevate performance expectations and give them the tailored coaching to achieve everyone improves.
Strengthen Leadership
Leadership drives culture and culture drives leadership. When you define what you want from your executive leadership you strengthen all leadership in a system. Everyone improves.
Retain top talent
Top talent are typically growth-minded achievers who thrive on development. When you invest in their success, they improve, they stay and they make a greater positive impact.
I’d recommend coaching for those leaders who are undergoing a transformational business journey and building executive capability and resilience. The coaching is certainly beneficial in managing organisation change, dealing with business challenges and having clarity of thought and goals.
– Anoop Singh - CEO - Awanui Healthcare Group
Coaching doesn’t just help executive leaders explore how to lead, it helps them to think about their leadership, in their context.
Most importantly; how to adapt, how to apply, and how to grow beyond their current barriers and achieve exceptional performance - that’s why it sticks.
Understanding
A greater understanding of the impact (positive & negative) of their leadership on the wider functioning of the organisation.
Awareness
A greater awareness defensive sabotage patterns and the adoption of new empowering mental models to change them.
Adoption
A greater recognition and adoption of executive purpose and values to drive aligned behaviour
Responsibility
A greater sense of responsibility to address areas of mistrust and disrespect that’s hampering performance and connection
Perspective
An increased perspective taking and consequence of certain leadership presence and styles
Performance
A greater focus on the important levers that drive increased performance for self and others.
“Sarah has helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses as a leader and as a person. It has enabled me to reflect on how I have reacted to people and situations in the past to understand what was behind those reactions, why they occurred and how I can manage these situations. I know I am a better leader.”
– Reuben Thickpenny, CEO TotalEnergies NZ Limited
