Our Services

We provide individual and group developmental services, depending on the situation, the dynamics, and the need. In all cases, we facilitate a rich learning experience for participants that helps them to rapidly develop new competencies, skills, behaviours, and attitudes in service of achieving their goals and furthering their organization’s mission. We do this by focusing on powerful leadership essentials, assisting our clients to observe themselves with more awareness and, from that place, to discover new ways to interpret and shape their behavior and their context.

Our coaching approach — based on integral coaching — encompasses a number of factors that drive and influence the leader’s ability to achieve and sustain excellence: lifestyle, performance, attitude, and relationships.

Executive & Leadership
Coaching for Individuals

With one-to-one executive coaching, the focus is on providing learning experiences that meet the client where they are so that our coaching can have relevance and impact right now. The Essential Group’s approach emphasizes customized learning agendas that define and track action in service of the client’s (and, if involved in the engagement, the organization’s) most important goals. The outcomes of our coaching are clarity of vision, greater skill and capacity, and a renewed sense of purpose. There are a number of different ways we work with individual clients; here are a few:

Mastering influence strategies
Communicating with executive audiences effectively
Managing stakeholders successfully
Turning the corner from showing up as a subject matter expert to also being an inspiring leader people want to follow
Stepping into something more powerful, a bigger vision for yourself
Clarifying strategy and courses of action
Creating desired outcomes in the world
Scaling up into bigger roles
Sustaining current high levels of performance; finding balance
Managing visibility and recognition; accelerating advancement
Getting unstuck; changing behavior and belief
Infusion of action with authentic purpose
Helping a high-potential employee who is technically capable and has a track record of delivering great results, but who also has a blind spot, has stalled out, or is suddenly running into a wall

If you are managing the individual who is looking into executive coaching, we know you’ve invested in this leader and you know what they are capable of, but often things just aren’t coming together for them right now. And you don’t have the time or energy to personally help turn it around. This is where leadership coaching can help.

Leadership Development
for Groups

The Essential Group provides 6-, 8- and 12- month group mentoring programs for our organizational clients (also known as mentoring rings or breakthrough circles). These are custom-designed programs, based on the client’s unique needs and goals at the time. An example of one such program is for a multinational tech client, which has been running in consecutive waves across Europe for groups of 10-40 employees at a time since 2015; this program is helping to bring about cultural transformation and alignment within a large, dispersed division of mid- to senior-level professionals.

Topics addressed by Essential Group leadership development programs for groups include:

Adopting a growth mindset
Innovating in the midst of risk, fear, and ambiguity
Living with more agility
Growing a thriving feedback culture
Developing and demonstrating executive presence and gravitas
Leading more effective meetings
Managing stakeholders
Personal brand – what will you be known for?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is coaching?

Coaching is a one-on-one, confidential process in which the client and coach partner together to bring out your absolute best. We do this by working to refine your present abilities; add new, powerful tools to your toolbox; help you see the long-standing patterns that keep you re-creating the same things, and grow alignment across your life domains to accelerate your success (regardless of how you define success).

Is coaching for me?

Everyone can use some assistance to adapt to change, break limiting habits, prevent recurrent problems, or enhance performance. Working with a coach will quickly bring clarity to your situation and significantly accelerate your development. Coaching provides consistent, incremental training with the individual at the front and center of the effort — it’s high-octane personal development targeted at rapidly increasing your achievement.

How does coaching work?

Focused and purposeful dialogue is at the heart of coaching. At the beginning of an Essential engagement, we will work together to quickly establish goals for our time together. Your Essential coach will encourage, support, and challenge you as you try on new ideas and perspectives through this process. At times, your coach may recommend additional reading or exercises. Meetings will be either via Skype, telephone, or in the Seattle area. We coach clients around the world from a multitude of cultural backgrounds; geography is not an obstacle.

I want to meet you first to see if we are a good “fit”!

Confidentiality

The Essential Group coaches respect both the privacy of the learner and the needs of the organization. We believe strongly in maintaining our coaching as a place in which great things – often transformational things – can happen. For that to be true, we need to take care of client privacy as a core element of our business. As such, we are clear with all parties about the flow of information so that learners can feel comfortable to experiment and reflect while organizations can know that individuals are participating in their coaching engagement.
