EXECUTIVE COACHES THAT GET US
These are the executive coaches we use to develop our leaders.
What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching is for any senior leader who is interested and motivated to build leadership competency and confidence.
Engagements typically last 6+ months and involve bi-weekly hour-long coaching sessions.
Coaching will often include an assessment such as the Leadership Circle 360.
Coaches typically will work with the coachee and their manager to develop goals and success metrics for the engagement.
Engagements typically cost $10-15K for 6 months.
Please email a coach below or reach out to Jimmy at ParkerGale for additional information or to get started.
All four of these executive coaches are trusted partners of ParkerGale. They understand our approach to leadership and development, and they have collectively worked with over 100 leaders across the portfolio.
