FAQ Leadership Development Executive CoachingI want results fast! What is the minimum time for an effective leadership development/executive coaching program?

While I respect your desire to get results quickly, please consider this when starting an executive coaching engagement:

  • 100% of the executives I work with are super-busy
  • it is likely that during the course of our leadership development/executive coaching program something unforeseen happens, and
  • for most people, behavioural change is incredibly difficult. Achieve sustainable change takes most people some time.

Some research indicates that the best results in executive coaching are achieved after around one year of coaching. Executive coach Marshall Goldsmith expects from his clients a minimum commitment of 18 months.

What is our minimum commitment for your leadership development or executive coaching programs?

Your minimum commitment should be six months. Then we will review what you have achieved during this time, what your next steps are, and if you want to continue working with me on a retainer basis.

Some of our leaders have never worked with an executive coach before. What if coaching does not work for some?

No worries, the vast majority of my clients has not worked with an executive coach before. If you sign up for the Six Month Leadership Upgrade, and you do not get the results that you expect in the first month, you can step out of the program and you pay only for this first month.

We want individual executive coaching, but we do not need the assessments included in the Leadership Upgrade Program.

No problem. My CEO Coaching might be exactly what you are looking for. It’s a tailor-made executive coaching program that suits your top level leaders.

What are your hourly rates for executive coaching?

My experience is that executive coaching (or any leadership development) does not work like an “hourly service”. Consequently, I only work on a retainer basis with a minimum commitment of six months. In my experience, this is what gets you the best results.

Where do you offer executive coaching and leadership development?

Executive coaching sessions and leadership development programs can be delivered remotely (via any platform such as Google Meet or Zoom) virtually anywhere in the world. If you need to meet me in person, you are welcome to visit me at my home office in Bangkok.
