What makes our executive coaching stand out?
We go above and beyond to deliver executive coaching programmes that provide genuine value for your organisation. Below are just a few of the ways we ensure our coaching and development services are a cut above the rest:
Expertise: Our coaches bring a wealth of expertise as long-standing business leaders and coaches. What we all have in common is the knowledge and skill to enable leaders to tap into underlying thinking and drive sustainable change.
Evidence: Our heritage as an organisation that measures and interprets employee experience influences our coaching. We accelerate coaching effectiveness by encouraging leaders to draw on insights from various sources. This may include employee feedback (e.g. from our Trust Index survey), feedback from peers, or self-reflection opportunities (such as a psychometric).
Tailoring: Our executive coaching programmes are crafted around the unique requirements of your organisation, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach. This enables us to facilitate change in the areas that matter most to you and your leaders.
How can executive coaching benefit your organisation?
Improves Leadership Effectiveness
Executive coaching nurtures the behaviours and practices critical for successful leadership. Our clients see a clear change in the experience reported by leaders and related measures, such as employee engagement.
Encourages Collaboration & Innovation
Our executive coaching challenges leaders to focus on their thinking and behaviours to drive change for the better.
Heightens Employee Engagement
Leaders play a key role in shaping healthy workplace cultures where employees thrive and give of their best. Executive coaching helps leaders to facilitate a more positive and productive experience at work.
Supports Business Performance
Our executive coaching supports leaders to reflect on and enhance how to deliver on their objectives - both as themselves and through their people.
How Harwich Haven Authority (HHA) boosted trust in management with executive leadership coaching
"A lot of people came to our strategy, having understood the words, but post the session now really understand the why, what and how. They have emotionally connected with the strategy and understand the role they play. Thank you for making it a success and sharing your insights. "
"The real value of this programme was that it challenged us to reflect on our impact as a collective team, and helped us to take practical, tactical steps that have made a real difference to our team and the organisation."
"The focus group run by our Great Place To Work Consultant has helped us understand, from an external perspective, where key areas of focus should be. It has also allowed us to benchmark ourselves against other retailers and understand what we do well and not so well."
“As an organisation with a strong focus on DEI, we were keen to understand our survey results from a deeper DEI perspective across our markets and business divisions. The team at Great Place To Work used their expertise to guide us on what analysis would be most informative and valuable to us in this respect. This included looking at representation (focusing on key diversity demographics such as gender, ethnicity and disability) and the correlation with engagement and inclusion. The team were also able to identify the key drivers of inclusion by using regression analysis and providing insightful observations on their findings. The summary report by Great Place To Work allowed us to review and validate our DEI strategy and tailor some of the initiatives we had planned to better support the needs of specific populations in our workforce. This was an excellent piece of work executed to a high standard, which had a real impact on our DEI approach moving forward.”
"The coaching with Petrina at Great Place To Work had a really positive impact on me, and benefited those around me in terms of the changes I then implemented in both my personal style and my ways of working with others. The coaching helped me be more self-aware and to remove some barriers and pressures I had been placing on myself, and opened up a new world for me to bravely embrace going forward. It helped me draw out more positive behaviours, and those now being more recognised and required as part of our future culture. The coaching helped me acknowledge that handing over power; empowering others, gives me a much better end result, far better than one I had been trying to create for myself, by myself."

Executive Coaching & Leadership Development FAQs
Who do you work with?
Our clients range from some of the world’s most notable brands to startups whose leaders are keen to sustain a great culture as they grow. Organisations across sectors and stages trust our expertise and share a common commitment to help their leaders drive performance and productivity, as well as to have the best experience as individuals themselves.
Which levels of leadership do you support?
We work with individuals as well as groups, often starting with the most senior leadership team before moving on to managers. However, each leadership development project is unique, and we will tailor our approach to support and drive the desired culture needed for success in your organisation. For individuals, it’s about nurturing and enhancing one’s leadership skillset to empower personal and professional growth. With teams, our job is to ensure you’re more cohesive and can better deliver on the strategy you’ve set for your organisation.
What exactly do you do in your executive coaching programmes?
In a nutshell: we support leaders to focus on ‘how’ they show up, helping them figure out what behaviours will have the best possible impact on their teams. We do this with a combination of coaching, workshops, and training. In doing so, leaders are better equipped to achieve their goals, deliver on strategy, and drive change for the better.
How long do your executive coaching and leadership development projects last?
The project scope and length is dependent on what you/your organisation require. For example, a team executive coaching programme may span 12 months or more, while coaching an individual leader with a specific goal may take place over a much shorter timeframe. You can book a complimentary consultation with our Chief Change Officer, Dr Petrina Carmody, who will be delighted to learn more about your needs, and plan together what will give you greatest benefit.
How much do your leadership development services cost?
We scope with care and operate a no-surprises, transparent approach to fees, which is tailored to deliver outstanding value, and is based on the scale and scope of your leadership development project. We set clear goals at the start of our work and reflect together at the end, looking back on achievements and the value we added.
