Executive Coaching
Coaching is a transformative process in which you will explore, embrace, and empower yourself with the help of professional coach. The process is designed to evaluate your strengths and gain visibility to any blind spots to achieve new personal and professional growth. Coaching has proven extremely valuable to improve leadership effectiveness, develop creative approaches to problem solving, improve executive presence, reduce team friction, and improve the quality of results for organizational leaders. Coaching provides a confidential, safe space for leaders to explore, reflect, and experiment as they expand their leadership capacity while gaining a deeper understanding of their strengths.
A coaching engagement with PSYCHĒ6 is designed with you in mind. The process is built on a growth mindset philosophy, the “power of yet”, which includes exploration of your goals, strengths, challenges and opportunities to help transform your personal and professional growth. Each engagement has a unique set of goals and results, based on the needs of our clients, the organizations and teams they serve, and their personal approach to growth. By using a structured, repeatable process, we are able to focus efficiently and maximize your time, financial, and emotional investment. We start with a discussion of your coaching goals, past experience, and conduct a thorough assessment of your strengths and development opportunities. We then move into the process of working through your goals. Goals may include pursuit of a new executive or C-level role, navigating new leadership or team, supporting a transition in your personal or professional life, developing and nurturing your executive presence, and any number of goals we define and refine throughout your coaching experience. Countless articles, studies, and research efforts have confirmed that coaching supports the effectiveness of our modern leaders with improved communication, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and reflection. It has proven additionally effective in our rapidly changing business environments, competitive landscapes requiring innovation and complex problem solving, remote working teams, and intensive pressure from equity investors or other crucial stakeholders.
Coaching engagements typically occur over a 6-month period and we have sessions bi-weekly or monthly, depending on desired objectives.

Executive Onboarding
The onboarding period for a new executive is critical. Investment in your executive team is the most important element of a successful organization and by combining the wishes of the organization (sponsor) with the new executive (client), we are able to help align on goals and provide a third party perspective during these crucial times of transition.
The old adage that “it’s lonely at the top”… is true. Perhaps the most helpful element of having an executive coach support your organization during an onboarding period is to give that new executive a safe and confidential place to vocalize their observations, strategize on engagement of key team leaders, and leverage a professional sounding board to optimize alignment with corporate and leadership objectives.
We have lived this process and led others moving through the change. We focus on People, Process, and Technology in a manner that helps a new executive define and refine priorities, engage with their team, and provide an additional level of support throughout their first few months.
Working with an executive coach during the crucial onboarding period brings value to an organization that pays dividends, and continues to pay over the long run. A typical executive onboarding engagement is done from 3-6 months, depending on the needs of the organization (sponsor) and client (executive). When we consider the costs of recruiting (typically 30-50% salary), interviews, onboarding, and team engagement, this area of our practice demonstrates a strong ROI and helps organizations remain aligned and positive throughout the onboarding period.

Leadership Development
Many organizations have constrained human resources support and leaders are spread thin with business and client priorities. Hiring an external coach to train, guide, and engage your leadership brings an external perspective to team members and leaders, which is often seen as a breath of fresh air in the midst of their regular, shifting priorities in the day-to-day.
Our team leadership development programs are designed with the organization in mind, and focus on the outcomes you most want to achieve with your investment. Do you have a remote workforce having difficulty leading their teams remotely? Do you have areas of the business where there are stove-pipes and decision making is becoming siloed? Are your employee engagement scores falling and you aren’t sure why? Do you have attrition of key leadership positions and want to reduce attrition? Was there a substantial organizational change recently requiring a shift in leadership and organizational awareness (an acquisition, board / investor request, loss of a key client, new competitor emerging on the landscape)?
Additionally, we support displacement coaching services for leaders impacted as part of organizational restructuring. Supporting your leaders as part of your severance indicates a strong support during their transition and helps to offset the impact of the displacement and risk to your organization.
If any of these areas seem like something you’d like to explore further, please reach out to schedule a conversation.
