Corporate leadership and executive coaching

Implement sustainable change through Leadership Development

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

How does a corporate Leadership or
Executive Coaching Programme work ?

1

Initial Assessment & Diagnosis

We begin with a structured intake session to clarify Leadership goals, challenges, and expectations. This may involve conversations with the coachee and, when relevant, HR or their direct manager. To gain an objective view, we may use proven psychometric tools such as 360° feedback, HOGAN, Insights Discovery, Emotional Intelligence EMCO4, or Leadership assessments.

2

Defining Leadership Coaching Priorities

Together with the coachee, we define key leadership and business priorities. We then build a customised leadership or executive coaching plan, typically including 6 to 12 sessions over several weeks/months. Each session focuses on specific, measurable objectives aligned with both personal development and organisational needs.

3

Coaching in Action

Each coaching session addresses a clear goal using proven techniques like questioning, active listening, visualisation, and strategic thinking tools (e.g. matrices or diagrams). We focus on building clarity, confidence, and Leadership presence. Sessions are confidential, and progress is reviewed regularly with flexibility to adjust as new insights emerge.

4

PROGRAMME REVIEW AND FOLLOW-UP

At the end of the programme, we offer a collaborative review involving the coachee and, when agreed upon, HR or their manager. The coachee chooses what they wish to share. An action plan is developed to maintain momentum, and a follow-up session is suggested within 3 to 6 months to support long-term results and accountability.

Everything you need to know about executive and Leadership Loaching

Leadership coaching and executive coaching aim to develop the Leadership skills of one or more people. These types of coaching allow leaders or future leaders to assert themselves, define their Leadership style, and achieve sustainable relationships and performance, both individually and collectively.

Whether the person is in an executive position or already in a leadership position, leadership coaching will positively impact both the individual and their team.

Corporate Leadership coaching and executive coaching are for anyone with the ambition (whether already in a Leadership position or not yet) to realise their potential and become a better leader to lead teams and make a real difference in their company.

Leadership training provides the necessary theoretical knowledge and tools to develop skills (e.g., communication, team management, and conflict management). While Leadership training is more focused on acquiring new knowledge, leadership coaching focuses on applying and adapting certain concepts and tools. Each leader has their own set of abilities and difficulties and needs to find their management style, so each will have a different context to manage. Personalised and on-going support is necessary to implement and sustain the acquired skills.

A typical Leadership or executive coaching programme lasts, on average, 6 to 12 months. Depending on the situation and the objectives, it can be personalised anywhere from 3 to 12 months.

When you contact us via our website or by e-mail, we make sure we will respond within 24 hours. We will then arrange an introductory phone call to discuss your needs, answer your questions, and prepare a tailor-made proposal.

If your company already has a supplier agreement with Leadingenius, we will have an initial call with HR and/or the person to be coached (employee/manager/leader). Once the objectives and content have been agreed, we arrange the dates and frequency of the coaching sessions.

If your company does not yet have a supplier agreement in place and needs professional coaching focused on leadership, please contact us to discuss your needs.

Coaching sessions usually take place in Rolle A-One Business Center, via Zoom or outdoors. The coaching sessions can be held at the company’s premises upon agreement and will be subject to additional costs.
In case the case of force majeure situations (like Covid), all sessions will automatically take place via Zoom.
Coaching sessions are planned during the workday as they are an integral part of professional development.

It is important to note that the length, content, and format are designed to meet the objectives of each individual. Thus, we fully customise our leadership coaching programme and include the following :

  • An initial evaluation to understand in depth the personal and professional history of the coachee and their current environment.
  • A qualitative/quantitative assessment (if necessary, via a leadership assessment, personality test, or 360° assessment) prior to coaching, to set a baseline for performance.
  • one-on-onecoaching sessions to target the leader’s individual needs.
  • Post-coaching feedback and an assessment to measure the results.
  • A follow-up after the programme ends.

Most of our clients opt to schedule a Leadership coaching session every two weeks.
First, this allows the sessions to easily adapt to a busy schedule.
Second, it leaves enough time between sessions to reflect on what has been discussed, implement some of the actions, test new approaches, and gather feedback.

That said, it is possible to schedule weekly coaching sessions if availability allows.
Once the coaching relationship has been established over a few months, the sessions can be spaced out to once every three or four weeks.

Our leadership and executive Coaching programmes begin with us listening to you to assess your current situation and define your objectives. We identify what you should absolutely continue doing – and the pitfalls to avoid so you can get the results that count for you, your manager and your company.
We use a combination of coaching techniques, including interviewing, visualising and, where applicable, scientific personality, Leadership, and emotional intelligence assessment tools that have been developed and validated by Leadership experts. Together these  provide an initial and real “picture” and help us define your concrete objective.
We will then guide you to tap into your best leadership skills and improve your competencies and the way you achieve results with your team.
Anne-Laure has trained as a certified coach, specialising in corporate and leadership coaching from IDC coaching in Geneva (Switzerland), which is accredited by ICF. Hence, she adheres to all professional coaching standards and has learned a varied set of tools and techniques.

She does not use one specific coaching model and has instead built her own “toolbox” of HR, business, and coaching methodologies, even developing some herself.

Each leadership coaching programme is different, as Anne-Laure carefully selects models and techniques to suit each unique situation.

Over the last few years, she has become increasingly interested in leadership personality traits (including derailers who can prevent the best from reaching their full potential), neuroplasticity, and emotional intelligence (that can enhance development and performance). See available assessments.

Like anything else, coaching does not make change happen overnight, but you can expect new self-confidence as a leader. You will know yourself better, clarify your unique authentic leadership style, better know how to position yourself as a leader, communicate engagingly, increase your team’s motivation and act in a way that attracts people to follow you.

You will be able to handle a broader range of business situations, target clear business goals, and implement appropriate strategies for your teams.

Whether you want to reach particular challenging objectives, change your strategy or
lead your team in more inspiringly, your team members will gain confidence in your direction. You will make them feel motivated and empowered to participate in achieving your business strategy.

A coach works closely with their client to help them achieve the goals they have set for the future. A coach is not a therapist, friend, mentor, or counsellor because their approach is unique.
Through a series of observations, questions and practices, a coach can help equip clients with the insights, behaviour, and skill sets to bolster their performance. Coaching may not be for you if you like living in your reality and don’t like being challenged to think differently. However, if you are serious about investing in your leadership development, and if, as a manager/leader you are ready to take a step back, challenge yourself to grow, and take concrete actions, coaching can be excellent leverage for you and your company.
