Executive Conflict Coaching
CEOs and Senior Managers

Executive Conflict Coaching supports Leaders and Senior Managers in dealing with conflict effectively and creatively on both a personal level and an organisational level. 

Conflict is inevitable within any organisation and how it is dealt with will be the difference between whether it is destructive for working relationships and project management or whether it provides an opportunity for learning, creativity, growth and improvement. 

Dealing with conflict effectively ensures future resilience against 'personal issues' becoming more important than the organisation's or team's development and progress. 

Most executives will have experienced situations where communication breakdown and a distracting focus on unresolved conflict has affected the performance of a team, department, group and, in turn, the success of the organisation within which they operate.  

Executive Conflict Coaching can help in various ways including:

• Where an Executive's management style is felt to be abrasive or aggressive or 'difficult' in some sense and they would like to find a more effective way of engaging with their colleagues without 'giving in' or losing their passion for their ideas. 
• Where an Executive has concerns about members of their team whose personal relationship difficulties are preventing a project from moving forward and the Executive wants to look at ways of managing the situation effectively. 
• Where Senior Management Team relationships are proving difficult and work-relationships are proving personally difficult and having an impact on operational issues. 
  
• Where board and team meetings do not go as productively, creatively, effectively as an Executive would like and they want space to think through how to make them more useful. 
• Where an Executive has been accused of being a 'bully' and wishes to consider alternative responses than just an 'investigative' process such as a grievance procedure in order to re-establish the working relationship. 
• Where an Executive would just like some 'time out' to discuss and reflect on some conflict challenges within their organisation in order to be able to 'stand back' from it and decide on a future strategy for dealing with the challenges more successfully.
• Where a situation at home is affecting an Executive's work situation and would like support in handling this more effectively.

Executive Conflict Coaching is not Counselling

Executive Conflict Coaching provides a 'step-in-step-out' support to Leaders who want a reflective and creative space in which to have a confidential discussion about an unresolved conflict situation that is affecting their performance and/or that of their team and organisation. It is not a long term intervention and involves up to 3 sessions, usually 90 mins.

The frequency of the sessions is decided by the Executive and the Coach and can be 'regular' or as and when needed. However it should always be remembered that there is a limit of 3 sessions. See this link for more information about this approach and why it is provided in this way. 

How much? 

We provide a tiered charging rate depending on the type of organisation - sessions are always 90mins:
