The Executive Service

The Executive Service provides you with a convenient way to access practical Director and Executive Development from the experts and quickly implement the concepts for even greater success. We have designed this service specifically to meet the needs and circumstances of busy senior managers and executives. Here's how it works...

• You decide that taking a little time out to focus on your strategy and tactics is a top development priority for you.
• We have a brisk discussion (½ hour) to discover what will work for you.
• We then propose an outline program of focused face-to-face or remote sessions.
• Timescales and communication methods are then agreed.
• Meetings get arranged and we get moving.
• When we're finished, we assess the impact it has made on your success.

Because influencing others is a critical skill at senior level, and a very wide subject area, it is important that we select the right sessions for you. Each session provides expert tuition and mentoring to help you apply the principles quickly. This is not your usual executive coaching approach and we work in a fast, no-nonsense manner. The chosen sessions will guide our work together, yet leave room to adapt to specific situations as they arise. This gives you on-the-spot assistance — an independent sounding board.
