Leadership coaching is focused one-on-one conversations about your/the coachee’s leadership challenges and goals.

A coaching process typically consist of a series of conversations with some weeks in between. Some leaders choose a ‘package’ with say five conversations of 1.5 hours with a specific focus. Others choose a longer process, where the coach becomes a reflection partner over a period of time.
