Executive & Team Coaching
Great leadership starts with great leaders.
At LND Partners we offer executive assessment and coaching for senior leaders, as well as workshops and coaching for teams, Boards and committees, to enhance their leadership skills and performance.
Executive Coaching for Senior Leaders
Senior leaders have a disproportionate impact on an organisation’s commercial and cultural outcomes. Executive coaching is therefore a shrewd investment in a key point of leverage for your organisation’s leadership.
At LND Partners, we specialise in coaching leaders who:
- Are preparing for promotions
- Are transitioning to new roles / geographies / organisations
- Are leading through times of significant change or disruption
- Need to improve specific leadership skills, such as people management
- Want to grow their influence with clients or colleagues in the US / UK
- Have recently moved to Europe from the US / UK and need to adapt their leadership to their new cultural context
- Are preparing for retirement or the last stage of their career.
We contract directly with organisations to ensure that our coaching is aligned with the organisation’s leadership model and desired outcomes. We also work with select private clients.
The nature of the coaching engagement is bespoke to your organisation, but a typical structure might include:
1. Contracting and Assessment
- Contracting on the nature, length and purpose of the coaching
- Conducting an assessment to understand the current state – this might include 360 feedback-gathering, a psychometric, and/or career interview
- Debriefing the assessment with the coachee and their manager(s)
- Aligning on goals of the coaching, typically through creating an Action Plan
2. Coaching against the goals in the Action Plan
- Regular coaching meetings (perhaps every 2-6 weeks) to make progress against goals
3. Evaluating progress and closing out
- Gathering updated feedback to do a “mark-to-market” on progress
- Debriefing updated feedback with the coachee and their manager(s)
- Aligning on any further support required
- Gathering feedback from the coachee and their manager(s) on the coach

Coaching for Teams and Committees
Teams and committees are the lifeblood of organisations. However, a group of great leaders doesn’t necessarily translate into a group that demonstrates great leadership.
How a team works together, whether there is alignment between them and with their stakeholders on what they need to deliver and why, and to what extent they are continuously learning together, are all critical for effective performance and leadership.
At LND Partners, we specialise in working with senior / executive teams and committees who:
- Are newly formed, to ensure they get off to the best possible start
- Have a new leader or committee chair
- Are facing new challenges
- Recognise that there is room for improvement in how they work together and perform.
What we do:
We start by understanding your current state. This might include:
- Gathering feedback and data from team members and stakeholders on team performance, functioning, and learning
- Employing group psychometrics to understand the profiles and preferences within the team
- Surfacing what is working well, and where there is misalignment or opportunities for improvement.
Based on this, we work with you to foster the team's ability to perform and adapt. For example:
- Group workshops or offsites on principles of effective team leadership, debriefing of audit findings and collective agreement on actions
- Team coaching sessions to align on key working principles, resolve conflict, align on mission and KPIs, foster team identity, and elicit learning and reflection
- Individual coaching for team leads / chairpersons
- Data gathering after 6-12 months to verify what has improved and what may require further attention.
The final step is to reflect on whether and in what ways the issues the team has worked through are reflective of broader leadership and cultural challenges in the organisation.
In this instance we might continue to work with you on ensuring your organisation's leadership is:
- Purposeful rather than inadvertent
- Coherent rather than confusing
- Adaptive rather than static
