Executive Coaching

Grow despite uncertainty

One-on-one executive coaching is the most effective approach to leadership development. Research continues to confirm & reinforce this, and we agree.

The promise of Executive Coaching

People think that the results from their work should speak for themselves, but they don’t. You have to know how to promote yourself, your results, your team, your project, while being authentic and being able to read and navigate the political landscape like an Everest sherpa.

How you want to come across and how others perceive is often very different, and it’s in the space between those two things that we do most of our work.

Performing brilliantly at a senior level requires excellent communication skills, a commanding presence and supreme credibility. This Director to Executive Director program gives you the tools to lead with impact and gravitas.

What is Executive Coaching?

Executive Coaching is a process of 1:1 leadership development that is both deeply personalized to the individual leader and pulls from universal principles of adult transformation. The leader works 1:1 with a coach that they have chemistry-checked for right-fit. The VISKA coach will also confirm right-timing; not everyone is ready for this rigorous process.

A timeframe for the coaching engagement is agreed on. For it to be effective, we believe that it’s not an endless process but a defined period of development. That doesn’t mean that our clients don’t extend an engagement or come back for round 2 or 3 over a handful of years.

Throughout this agreed timeframe, the VISKA coach applies proven coaching methodology to ensure that the client’s development goals are met and exceeded. For all of this to be successful, the VISKA coach provides a safe, confidential space that allows for reflection, exploration, and confidence in what’s next for the leader. And the leader commits to the process.

Why do you need Executive Coaching?

Our ability to demystify and break down leadership concepts and principles into tangible, tweakable components that can be measured, has put us in front of senior leadership in Fortune 1000’s and business schools for the last 18 years.

What they say

  • You have given me really specific ways to improve and advance

    I’ve had coaching before and they kept asking me why, and why, and what trauma did you have in your childhood and I thought oh no, how long is this engagement, it’ll be digging into my subconscious the whole time… but it’s not. You have given me really specific ways to improve and advance, and measure how that’s going. I’m so happy to be here

  • You have something I need…absolute expertise and knowledge

    This is the first time I’m actually investing in myself, you hit my nail on the head… I’ve been to a trillion trainings… You tickled my brain because now I wonder how did that happen, you sucked me right in… you have something I need…absolute expertise and knowledge.

  • You gave me both the mental tools and actual processes necessary to help me manage my career transition

    With your help I was able to analyze, understand, and mitigate practices or thought patterns that were tripping me up, so I could improve my leadership capabilities and be even more productive. The lessons I learned positively impacted me beyond just the professional sphere.
