Is Coaching What You Need, or the Leadership Accelerator?

Both coaching and the Leadership Accelerator build leadership capability. The difference is format and what you're trying to achieve.

Coaching is the right next step if you want ongoing support as you apply new approaches in your specific role and context - a thinking partner who knows your situation, challenges your thinking, and holds you accountable to your own goals over time.

The Leadership Accelerator is the right next step if you want to build specific practical skills intensively - the how-to of leading leaders, covered in depth with a peer group navigating the same transition.

Some leaders do both. Many start with one and move to the other. If you're not sure which fits, a short conversation will help clarify.

FAQ

Executive Coaching - The Growth Journey

Quick answers to help you understand how coaching works.
What is executive coaching?

A confidential space to reflect, test ideas, and grow - with support and challenge tailored specifically to you and your context.

How is it different from the Leadership Accelerator?

The Accelerator builds specific practical skills intensively in a group format. Coaching provides ongoing one-on-one support as you apply those skills - or work through challenges specific to your role and situation. They complement each other well.

How is it different from mentoring or training?

Mentoring gives advice based on experience. Training builds specific skills. Coaching helps you clarify your own thinking and apply it to real challenges - with someone who knows your context and holds you accountable.

Do I need an assessment first?

All coaching - whether ad hoc or structured - requires a leadership assessment as the foundation. This ensures sessions are targeted rather than exploratory, and focused on the right things from the start.

What are the options?

Focused Coaching - 90-minute sessions as needed.
6-Month Growth Plan - development plan, five sessions, and a review.
12-Month Growth Journey - development plan, ten sessions, and two reviews for lasting change.

Is it confidential?

Yes - unless there is a risk of serious harm to you or others.

How do we track progress?

We define goals at the outset, review outcomes after every five sessions, and adjust as your context evolves.

How do I get started?

Book a complimentary call to discuss your situation and confirm the right approach. If you've already completed a leadership assessment, we can move straight to development planning.
