Executive Coaching

Sometimes the person at the top needs somewhere to think.

Leadership can be isolating. The people around you may depend on you for direction, support and decisions, which doesn't always leave much room to step back and think through your own challenges.

Executive coaching gives leaders a confidential space to examine what's happening, challenge their assumptions and work through the situations that are hardest to navigate.

Does this sound familiar?

You're facing a situation you can't easily talk through with your team.
You need somewhere to think out loud, test your assumptions and consider your options. Coaching provides a confidential space to do that.

You've taken on a bigger leadership role.
The expectations are different, the stakes are higher and what worked before may not work anymore. Coaching can help you navigate the transition and strengthen your effectiveness as a leader.

You're dealing with a difficult person or relationship.
A Board member, colleague, direct report or leadership team dynamic is taking more energy than it should. Coaching helps you understand what's happening and consider different ways of approaching it.

You know you need to change something about your leadership.
Perhaps you're too quick to step in, avoid conflict, hold onto too much yourself or struggle to delegate. Coaching provides the opportunity to examine your patterns and develop practical ways to lead differently.

You're making an important decision.
Sometimes the challenge isn't finding an answer - it's having the space to think clearly about the choices, implications and people involved.

You're leading through significant change.
A restructuring, leadership transition, organizational challenge or period of growth can test even experienced leaders. Coaching provides an ongoing space to work through what you're encountering as it unfolds.

How 2WA works

Our coaching is practical, confidential and tailored to the individual and the situation.

We'll start by understanding what you're trying to accomplish and what may be getting in the way. Depending on the situation, coaching may include assessment, 360 feedback, interviews with colleagues or a supervisor, behavioural goals and regular reflection on what you're trying in practice.

This isn't about telling you what to do.

It's about helping you see the situation more clearly, consider what you're not seeing, and make deliberate choices about how you want to lead.

And because the coaching is grounded in 2WA's extensive organizational development experience, we can help you think not only about your leadership, but about the people, relationships and systems around you.
