Executive Coaching

Coaching can help us develop our self-awareness, explore the unfolding of our purpose and values, shift our perspectives, harness our authentic leadership style and deepen our leadership effectiveness and impact. Focusing on each individual’s growth edge, Ikigai Leading partners with leaders on a 1:1 basis through a series of goal oriented coaching sessions to create sustained leadership impact.

Coaching that meets each leader where they are on their development journey

Delivered in person or virtually, we co-create safe spaces for exploration, deep listening, vulnerability, experimentation and accountability. Here are some of the areas explored in our coaching engagements:

Leading Systems

  • Navigating complexity and uncertainty

Ikigai Leading Executive Coaching Approach

Our overarching approach includes the following components:

Contracting and Goal Setting – where we establish context, goals and outcomes for coaching, ensure coach/coachee fit, agree on rules of engagement and explore potential assessments or structured feedback.  
Coaching Series  - having agreed on the number and format of coaching sessions, each session is an opportunity to share key frameworks and tools, offer a sounding board and provide a safe space to test ideas and trial changes.
Progress Review and Feedback – when we reflect on lessons learnt and impact, gather coaching engagement feedback and identify ongoing develop opportunities.
