How does executive coaching work?

Coaching is entirely confidential.

It’s a chance for you to press ‘pause’ and reflect. Harriet’s not there to tell you what to do. She’s there to ask you searching questions to help you get clear on what’s important and what actions to take. She’s also there to hold you to account – to support you 100% to follow through on what you commit to doing.

The first step is a free chemistry call.

You and Harriet can decide if you’ll work well together and start to explore your coaching goals. If you decide to go ahead you’ll both commit to a ‘coaching contract’ outlining how you’ll get the best out of each other and to a maximum of three or four goals to work on

Next, it might be useful to get input from other people.

Is there a sponsor or manager who needs to know what you’re working on in the coaching? Would it be useful to get feedback from colleagues or clients?

Next come the (typically 90-minute) coaching sessions.

There are a minimum of six sessions and they are often spaced roughly a month apart – but the spacing depends entirely on what you are working on. Harriet will share supporting materials throughout the process: she has a suite of videos, exercises and pdfs to accelerate your progress.

Keep in touch with others throughout

Throughout the coaching period, you’ll be checking back in with other stakeholders if that’s relevant, including a celebratory catch-up after the final session to reflect on all you’ve learnt and congratulate yourself on the massive progress you’ve made.
