Executive Coaching: Developing Your Leaders

At Ellig Group, executive coaching is first and foremost a partnership between the Executive and the Coach. Each coaching engagement is tailored to the client’s particular needs and goals, and above all, our process emphasizes the Executive’s ownership of their own development. We aren’t here to tell you who to be or how to do your job. We’re here to work with you, an executive, as you discover and embody the best version of yourself as a leader.

Our Approach to Executive Coaching

Whether you are looking to drive transformation, build resilience, level up your leadership or improve your communication style, our Executive Coaching services creates space for leaders to boldly explore, rather than simply problem-solve. Whereas a consultant answers questions, a Coach questions answers. Our Coaches partner with leaders to set goals, and then hold them accountable as they work towards those objectives.

Our Executive Coaches serve as a resource and sounding board to leaders as they work towards, or simply move through a challenge or goal. We do so in a way that fosters learning, insights, growth, and transformation. We listen, ask powerful questions, and offer observations. We create an intimate, trusting space so you can focus on transforming your leadership, driving impact in your businesses.

We are a purpose-driven, women-owned and operated global leader in recruiting diverse executive talent. Executive and board search is the cornerstone of our business, but only the beginning of our partnership with our clients and candidates. Through our advisory and assessment capabilities, as well as our leadership development and onboarding programs, we provide the guidance and tools to help both parties reach their goals.

We are Reimagining Search through the talent we present, the success of our candidates, and the world-class experience we provide our clients.

Talent Thrives. Cultures Collaborate. Organizations Outperform.

From the Fortune 500 to startups, companies trust Ellig Group with their leadership, culture, and DEI initiatives.

Accelerating Impact

Executive Coaching for Your First 100 Days

Ellig Group provides a curated executive onboarding experience to help you unlock and exceed your potential as you hit the ground running in your new role.

Accelerating Impact is a curated executive onboarding experience that addresses your unique needs and offers one-on-one support with our certified executive coach, Barbara Stahley, during your first 100 days in your new role. It also serves as a launch pad for your ongoing professional development once the program has concluded so that you keep the momentum going!

Your onboarding experience is an important part of a seamless and comprehensive entry into your new organization. It also affects your ability to hit the ground running and be an impactful leader. The relationships you build with colleagues and fellow leaders, as well as the strategic objectives you set, in these early days, are vital to positioning you for long-term success. One of the ways in which we demonstrate our commitment to that success is through our Accelerating Impact program, offered to leaders, like you, who we recruit into our client organizations.

In partnership with your organization’s talent development plan, we will develop a customized coaching plan, as well as a 30/60/90-day plan, that helps you unlock and exceed your potential to hit the ground running in your new position. We will also partner with your leader to better understand their objectives and goals for you. This work is intended to complement and support your organization’s onboarding offering.

Crafting a Tailored Coaching Blueprint

Accelerating Impact includes eight 30-minute virtual sessions to be held over the course of your first 100 days in your new role. We know that your schedule has many competing priorities, therefore, the coaching meetings may extend beyond the first 100 days. This program is customized and tailored to your unique needs, and we will work at your pace.

Executive Assessments:
Data-Driven, Human Led

While partnership-driven and custom-tailored to each client’s needs and objectives, our process is fundamentally data-informed. We use evaluation tools such as the Hogan Assessment, the Leadership Circle Profile and CliftonStrengths, all of which have been normed and validated against a large and diverse sample population. By combining these standardized tools with personalized human factors, we achieve a rich, nuanced picture of the client’s strengths and opportunities for growth.

A unique strength of our leadership practice is our access to a variety of cutting-edge technologies and services via our ecosystem of Strategic Partners. This allows us to provide a level of services on par with the offerings of much larger firms, but with a personal touch those firms simply can’t match.

Why Our Clients Choose Us

Our greatest asset is, by far, our people. Our team is client-centric, responsive, commercial and intuitive. We understand and anticipate our Client Organizations’ needs, as well as those of the Executives whose careers we champion. We are nimble and resourceful and, as a boutique firm, partner closely with our clients in a meaningful, personalized way.

Each year, 75% of our work is with existing clients. They keep coming back to us to help them find, build, assess and coach their leadership teams. Not because of the size of our firm, but because of the people on our team, telling their compelling story, as their market ambassador. The trust placed in us by our Client Organizations and Executives is what empowers us to deliver the exceptional results they’ve come to expect.

Augmenting our team is the power of our carefully curated ecosystem of Strategic Partners – another key strength and differentiator of Ellig Group. We endeavor to provide our Client Organizations and Executives with the best advice, counsel and services possible. Sometimes that means leveraging experts in areas like data analytics, AI, communications, and leadership development.

Our clients also appreciate the flexibility and customizability of our offerings. Our leadership services – Executive Coaching and Executive Assessment – can be part of a stand-alone, one-off engagement or be embedded in and fully integrated with an Executive Search.
