FORMAT: LIVE ONLINE PROGRAMME (INTERNATIONAL COHORTS)

An advanced, evidence-based executive coaching and mentoring programme co-developed by Professor David Clutterbuck, Craig McKenzie and Evija Vascenko.

This programme is designed specifically for internal and external experienced coaches and mentors who want to work more confidently with senior leaders across cultures, industries and geographies – and who want their work at executive level to be credible, ethical and commercially sustainable.

If you are already coaching and mentoring – and feel ready to deepen your practice, raise your profile and take on more complex executive assignments – this programme was built for you.

Executive coaching and mentoring is not just the same conversations “with more senior people”.

At executive level, your client is embedded in complex systems of power, politics, culture and competing expectations. Sustainable change only happens when you can work with the person and their system.

This programme helps you:

• Move beyond techniques into executive-level coach/mentor maturity
• Work confidently across cultures, hierarchies and organisational politics
• Strengthen your credibility with senior leaders and sponsors
• Navigate ambiguity, ethical dilemmas and complex contracting
• Position yourself clearly as an executive coach, not a generalist
• Build your own sense of personal and professional credibility 

All of our content is grounded in 30+ years of global research and practice and continuously updated for today’s international executive context.

complex executive conversations.

Working systemically: organisational culture, power dynamics, narrative, contracting within systems

and integrating diagnostics or psychometrics.

Recognising and avoiding common pitfalls, including loss of confidence, over-identification with the

client and imposter syndrome.

Navigating ethical dilemmas, organisational politics and sensitive topics. Understanding when not to

take on an executive assignment.
