Executive Coaching

Any search carried out by Executives Europe has six sessions of induction/transition coaching.

The value of an external coach when you have just started a new role is that the coach carries no threat to the longer-term security of the new appointee; maybe unlike a new boss or new colleagues on the board! It is not the coach’s job to come up with the answers to the new challenges, but it is the coach’s role to help and support the new appointee as they explore these challenges and formulate ways of overcoming them.

Most appointments, particularly senior appointments bring with them a big step up in responsibility; and often the most significant of these is about raising one’s capability as a leader. Moving on to the board of a company with shared leadership responsibility for the whole enterprise as well as personal leadership responsibility for a complete business function is often a complete transformation from what has gone before.
