1:1 Executive Coaching
A safe space to think, and the clarity to lead
Carrying more than ever, with less time to step back? Six sessions with a coach who has sat in the seat, tailored to you, your role and your organisation's goals.
Who it's for
Is this right for you?
It usually helps when you recognise at least one of these.
- You have stepped up into a bigger role and the job has changed faster than your habits.
- You are making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information.
- You need to build presence and influence with a board, ExCo or regulator.
- Senior relationships have become complex, and you want a confidential space to think them through.
- You are a high-potential leader your organisation wants to invest in.
- You feel stretched and want to rebuild resilience before it becomes a problem.

How it works
From first call to first session
-
Step 1: A confidential conversation
Tell us what is going on. No obligation, and nothing leaves the room.
-
Step 2: Meet your coach
A chemistry call so you can be sure the fit is right before you commit.
-
Step 3: Agree your goals
We set clear goals with you and, where relevant, your sponsor or HR lead.
-
Step 4: Coaching begins
Six focused sessions, with progress reviewed along the way.

What clients say
[[TODO: approved testimonial — named (name, title, organisation)]]
[[TODO: approved testimonial — anonymous (role + sector)]]
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. What you discuss with your coach stays between you. Where an organisation is paying, we agree up front with you and your sponsor what, if anything, is shared: usually the goals and a light-touch view of progress, never the content of sessions. [[TODO: confirm D3 policy]]
How do you match me with a coach?
We listen to what you need in a first confidential conversation, then suggest the coach whose background fits best. You meet them in a chemistry call before you commit, and you can ask to meet someone else if the fit is not right.
Is coaching in person or online?
Both. Sessions can be in person in the City of London or by video, and many clients mix the two. [[TODO: confirm]]
Can my company be invoiced?
Yes. We can invoice your organisation or you personally. Prices are shown excluding VAT.
What if I need to reschedule?
Let us know as early as you can and we will rearrange. [[TODO: confirm notice period]]
What happens after session six?
We review progress against your goals together. Many clients finish there; some choose a further block of sessions or occasional check-ins. There is no pressure either way.
How long does the programme take?
Six sessions usually run over around four to six months, so there is time to put things into practice between sessions. [[TODO: confirm typical duration]]
