Executive Coaching
We work with global organisations and their leaders to help them build and lead high performing, inclusive and diverse teams.
For organisations to maintain heightened profitability, it is imperative to invest in their female talent, supporting the women at different stages of their career especially at senior executive level. As leading gender diversity specialists, we have observed over ten years that executive coaching makes a monumental difference to women in senior executive roles into taking that vital next step in career progression.
Coaching can be provided as an extension to our leadership development programmes, or independently. We provide coaching for men and women at CEO, C-Suite, Executive Committee, Director General, Director and Permanent Secretary level.
We coach the whole person, the person as well as the leader, Executive or Manager.
Having the incredible professional coaching support from The Pipeline, during the Top Flight programme, accelerated my thinking on the topics shared and boosted my confidence in the role that I do now, along with helping me to determine the role I will do next.Rachel Izzard
Coaching from The Pipeline has taught me so much about how I operate and the areas where I should focus and develop. I feel more self-assured and this is visible to colleagues and leaders around me. Putting elements of my coaching into practice has helped me to secure a more senior role within the business.Jasvinder Gakhal
Why Executive Coaching?
The need for coaching is not exclusive to women. In order to improve performance, coaching is beneficial to all executives because it enables them to achieve goals and targets. World-class athletes are trained and supported by world class coaches, and the same is and should be mirrored in business.
That being said, many women are stuck in the attainment trap which is based on the understanding that women are promoted for attainment and men for potential. That is to say that their managers view them through a ‘risk’ lens, and concentrate on what these women attain rather than their potential. This prevents women from breaking through to the Executive Committee and also encourages women to keep their heads down and develop great attention to detail.
About our Coaching
The relationships we forge with our clients in coaching are vital, building relationships of trust and confidence makes it safe to take risk and challenge. This is where trust is built and change and transformation take place.
The coaching relationship can create the space to do the most courageous work, to work through the internal barriers to greater success, confidence and authentic leadership.
We coach the whole person, the person as well as the leader, Executive or Manager. In the 21st Century context of constant change, information overload, social media and the ‘always on’ culture, the space between work and personal life has become smaller and smaller. In reality, consciously or unconsciously, we bring our whole selves to work.
