Executive Coaching & Development

Developing Leaders that Transform Organizations

Developing organizational talent today requires a wide range of strategies.  Executive coaching—along with management and leadership training—can boost productivity and strengthen performance.   Coaching is an individualized development process that builds a leader’s capability to achieve short and long-term organizational goals. It is conducted through one-on-one interactions with a trusted coach from outside the organization, and driven by data from multiple perspectives. Executives within the sponsoring organization, HR partners, the coach, and the leader being coached all work together to achieve maximum impact.

Just as a coach can help an athlete by observing and offering feedback and suggestions, our experts will partner with you to facilitate the development of a targeted skill.

What type of growth can Coaching support?

Coaching can accelerate growth in every dimension of leadership and performance. It helps individuals sharpen their self-awareness, strengthen communication, and build resilience. It equips leaders to navigate complexity, make better decisions, and inspire their teams with authenticity. Coaching also supports career advancement by developing confidence, influence, and presence, while fostering healthier relationships and collaboration across the organization. Whether the goal is unlocking untapped potential, preparing for the next role, or building a culture of trust and accountability, coaching provides a proven path to lasting growth.

How is Coaching Used?

Most coaching is about developing the capabilities and increasing the effectiveness of an executive, senior leader, or mid-level manager.  We typically focus the coaching engagement on one or two development areas; we also help you think about how you can leverage your strengths.  

We can help you understand a particular dysfunctional behavior impeding success (i.e., often a personal strength that’s being overused) and work with you to overcome the obstacle, or we can strengthen your effectiveness

Why Avid Learner Coaching?

Our coaches draw on their own business experience, insight into human performance, ability to accurately diagnose development needs, listening skills and proficiency in asking the right kinds of questions—all designed to guide you to a higher level of performance.

All of our coaches have been leaders or executives themselves. Most have ICF or similar credentials, while others do not, but instead possess expertise in critical areas.

Our Process

  • Learn about the business environment, culture, and challenges.

    We start by learning the context your leaders operate in — the strategy, culture, and challenges shaping their success — so coaching is aligned with real organizational needs.

  • Establish the goals of the coaching process

    Clear goals ensure coaching is purposeful. Together, we define outcomes that matter for the individual and the organization.

  • Gather data & understand the current reality.

    Through assessments, feedback, and conversations, we create a clear picture of current strengths, performance patterns, and growth opportunities.

  • Coach to the plan!

    Regular coaching sessions focus on building new skills, mindsets, and behaviors that drive meaningful progress.

  • Monitor and track progress, adjust as needed.

    We track development against the plan and provide updates to ensure accountability and alignment with organizational goals.

  • Plan the path forward for sustained progress.

    At the close of the engagement, we identify strategies and supports that help leaders maintain momentum long after coaching concludes.
