Professional executive coaching can make a huge difference to your career and leadership success. An experienced coach knows how to empower you to set and achieve specific goals. Your coach supports you throughout the coaching program to stay on track and to address challenges along the way.
Great coaches have had their own professional career that they can draw on to provide alternative and independent perspectives on specific leadership challenges. We call this mentoring rather than coaching. This sets Apogee’s programs apart from others’ as you are offered both coaching and mentoring.
Your executive coaching program typically consists of six 1.5-hour sessions over a 2–6-month period. They are specifically tailored to suit your needs. Either a DISC or a PRINT diagnostic tool is used for exploring your self-awareness. A strengths-based approach underpins the coaching process as it is proven to yield the greatest results.
Our programs are the most useful for two main leadership levels.
