Leadership coaching, once considered a privilege for the few, is now widely accepted as a way to help leaders develop key qualities such as resilience, emotional intelligence, and strategic foresight. With a team of certified leadership coaches across our global offices, Odgers Berndtson offers leaders and organizations effective coaching solutions that help drive a successful business.
The ability to turn to an external coach as a trusted advisor—a person they can approach to share their goals, challenges, and thoughts about their team and organization—has become a necessity for senior leaders worldwide.
The dilemma for many organizations is that as leadership coaching has grown increasingly popular, the number of self-appointed coaches has also increased, many of whom lack the necessary references or business experience to assist leaders in senior positions. To address this dilemma, Odgers Berndtson has developed a global roster of fully vetted leadership coaches who use a shared coaching platform, tools, and development model. This guarantees that clients receive a coaching and development experience with high impact.
A typical 6-month coaching program includes the following:
-
Allowing the leader to interview 2 or 3 coaches from our roster to choose the one they feel most comfortable with
-
A pre-assessment and 360-degree discussions to set the framework for the leader’s development goals and desired outcomes
-
Regular monthly coaching sessions, which can be supplemented with personal team observations
-
Check-ins with stakeholders as needed
-
An impact analysis to measure progress
Throughout the coaching and development process, we ensure that our work reflects the organization’s strategy and culture, leading to clear, measurable results. When working with an organization on multiple coaching assignments, we can provide the HR team with combined insights as a way to add value.
We also collaborate with clients to integrate leadership coaching into a tailored leadership development program—providing pre- and post-sessions for leaders in a learning cohort.
