Transformational Executive Coaching is a uniquely structured and goal-focused system that effects and sustains the dramatic changes that leaders want from a coaching engagement. The skills the executive develops in order to make this shift transcend the specific coaching engagement and become an integral part of the executive’s toolkit for continued growth and development. The system is based on the Hierarchy of Sustained Change, a nested set of best practices that are essential for driving sustained change and supported by proven theories.

The high-quality information for the change effort comes from the coach-executive relationship and supportive relationships the process builds. The Seven-Stage Model is an original approach to gathering the best information and resources available to support executives in achieving their goals. The Model’s 360 Feedback Interview is a unique methodology for gathering goal-specific and behaviorally-anchored information from colleagues who are invested in the executive’s success. This group provides non-anonymous, quality, specific feedback, the type that doesn’t come from traditional 360-degree surveys or typical employee-manager-peer interactions.
