Executive Leadership Training — FAQ

Our executive leadership training is designed for C-suite executives, senior vice presidents, managing directors and high-potential leaders being groomed for top roles. We also work with founders of scaling businesses who need to transition from operational management to strategic leadership. If you are responsible for setting direction, influencing culture or driving significant business outcomes, our programmes are built for you.

Most one-to-one coaching engagements run for either six or twelve months, with fortnightly sessions of 60 to 90 minutes each. The length depends on your objectives and the complexity of the leadership challenges you face. We begin every engagement with a diagnostic phase — typically two to three weeks — during which we conduct 360-degree interviews, review psychometric data and agree on measurable goals. Some clients choose to continue with a lighter-touch quarterly check-in after the formal programme ends.

Absolutely. We offer fully virtual, fully in-person or hybrid formats. Many of our international clients work with their mentor entirely via secure video conferencing, and we have refined our virtual delivery to ensure the same depth of engagement and rapport that you would experience face to face. For team workshops and retreats, we generally recommend in-person attendance to maximise the experiential learning components, though virtual alternatives are available.

Our approach is eclectic and evidence-based. We draw on frameworks from organisational psychology, cognitive behavioural coaching, adaptive leadership theory and systems thinking. Tools we commonly use include the Hogan Leadership Forecast Series, the Leadership Circle Profile, stakeholder mapping and scenario planning. Every intervention is grounded in peer-reviewed research and adapted to your organisational context — we never apply a one-size-fits-all model.

At the outset of every engagement we agree on three to five measurable development goals. Progress is tracked through a combination of self-assessment, 360-degree feedback at the midpoint and conclusion, stakeholder interviews and, where appropriate, business performance metrics such as employee engagement scores, retention rates or revenue growth. We provide a written progress report at the halfway mark and a comprehensive impact summary at the end of the programme.

Pricing varies depending on the format, duration and level of customisation required. One-to-one executive coaching typically starts from £4,500 for a six-month engagement. Team workshops are priced per day and per participant, with discounts for multi-session bookings. Leadership retreats include accommodation and all materials and are quoted on request. We are transparent about fees from the first conversation and offer flexible payment schedules for longer programmes. Contact us for a detailed proposal tailored to your needs.

We understand that executive diaries are unpredictable. Individual coaching sessions can be rescheduled with at least 48 hours notice at no charge. For workshops and retreats, cancellations made more than 30 days before the event receive a full refund; cancellations within 15 to 30 days receive a 50% refund or the option to transfer the booking. Cancellations within 14 days are non-refundable, though we will make every effort to accommodate a date change.

Confidentiality is the bedrock of our practice. All coaching conversations are strictly confidential. Where a sponsoring organisation is involved, we agree upfront on what — if anything — is shared with the sponsor, and this is always limited to high-level themes rather than specific content. Our mentors are bound by the ethical guidelines of the International Coaching Federation and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.

Yes, we work with leaders and organisations worldwide. Our client base spans Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia-Pacific. Virtual delivery makes geography irrelevant for one-to-one coaching, and we travel internationally for team workshops and retreats when required. We are experienced in cross-cultural leadership dynamics and adapt our approach to respect and leverage cultural differences within global leadership teams.
