We find that there are six key reasons for starting executive coaching:
- Supporting senior managers appointed into new roles
- As a sounding board and supporter to key board or senior managers
- Assisting the introduction of change by coaching key individuals on how they are leading change
- As a reward or retention tool for people critical to the business
- As part of a personal development programme which can include 360 degree feedback
- Developing the performance of individuals identified as high potential in a talent review
The CIPD's 2004 Training and Development survey highlighted:
- 99% of respondents agreed that coaching could deliver tangible benefits to the organisation
- 90% believed that coaching can positively influence the bottom line

- Coaching is a solution-focused, specific and proactive approach to support people in defining and achieving their goals and aspirations.
- Coaching is based on a partnership in which one person (the coach) facilitates a move towards the goal, while the other (the coachee) explores the options available for creative solutions.
- Strong coaching partnerships help individuals to break free of self-imposed limits, become clearer about their goals and more determined and likely to make things happen.
- Coaching is designed to enhance performance. It does this with questions, which generate insight and new options, and an interactive style, which motivates the coachee to act.
- Regular coaching helps people maintain performance in the long term, which adds incrementally to overall performance.
All of our coaches are qualified as International Coach Federation members, NLP coaches, co-active coaches or solution focused coaches.

We believe in being clear on your goals for coaching, so we involve feedback from your line, your team, customers and colleagues. These people know you, they experience you at work, and can give a real world “what it is like to work with you” view. When you begin coaching we will invest time in getting to know you, being clear on your strengths and challenges.

We believe in celebrating! Involving the team that contributed feedback at the beginning of coaching by asking them what they notice in you can give you an excellent reinforcement. We also help you to reflect on your own coaching journey, and look forward to how you will sustain and embed your development.
