Why Executives Need Performance Coaching
or Transition Coaching?

Without strategic support, even highly competent executives encounter:

Authority erosion while learning new organizational culture
Stakeholder relationship challenges that undermine credibility
Strategic missteps during the critical first 90 days
Isolation and lack of trusted advisors who understand executive-level pressures

Executive performance coaching provides what organizations cannot: Confidential strategic guidance from someone who understands the unique pressures of senior leadership, helping you avoid career-threatening mistakes while accelerating your impact and protecting your professional reputation.

The bottom line: Your expertise got you the role—but strategic transition support determines whether you succeed or become another executive failure statistic.

YOUR COACH

MARGARET SPENCE

At least once a week, executives at urgent crossroads call me. Traditional coaching failed them. What they need isn't development; it's strategic crisis intervention from someone who understands C-suite pressures.

For three decades, I've guided global executives through impossible corporate landscapes, helping them navigate toxic cultures while discovering their authentic leadership voice.

I created this program for leaders trapped in unwinnable situations with dysfunctional teams, facing the agonizing stay-or-go decision that will define their careers. As author of 'Leadership Self-Transformation' and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 leaders, I provide what no one else can: a confidential, NDA-protected sanctuary where you can finally speak your truth and chart your path forward.

General Questions About the Program

What is performance coaching for executives and why is it an imperative?

Performance coaching for executives is a strategic intervention designed to accelerate leadership effectiveness, navigate complex organizational challenges, and ensure sustained career success at the senior level. Unlike general leadership development, executive performance coaching addresses the unique pressures, isolation, and high-stakes decisions that define C-suite and senior leadership roles.

Why it's an imperative in today's business environment:

Crisis Prevention: Research shows 40-60% of executives fail within their first 18 months, often due to leadership effectiveness challenges rather than technical incompetence. Performance coaching provides the strategic support to avoid becoming a failure statistic.

Accelerated Impact: Organizations expect immediate results from senior leaders. Performance coaching reduces the time to effectiveness by up to 50%, helping executives deliver value faster while protecting their reputation during critical transition periods.

Navigating Complexity: Today's executives face unprecedented challenges—AI disruption, hybrid workforces, stakeholder activism, and economic volatility. Performance coaching provides the strategic thinking partnership needed to navigate these complexities successfully.

Competitive Advantage: In an environment where leadership effectiveness directly impacts organizational performance, executives with strategic coaching support consistently outperform those navigating challenges alone. It's not about fixing problems—it's about maximizing already strong capabilities for exceptional results.

The bottom line: Executive performance coaching has evolved from "nice to have" development to mission-critical strategic support. In today's high-stakes leadership environment, it's the difference between surviving your role and excelling in it.
How do I enroll in the Performance Coaching for Executives Program?

Executives who require immediate coaching can schedule our Unshakable: Reconnect to What Matters Most, 2-Hour Session.

You can also schedule a 30-minute introductory session.

We carefully assess each executive's situation to ensure the best program fit and maintain the confidential, peer-level environment our participants require. Schedule your confidential strategy call to begin the enrollment process.

All long-term coaching enrollment is conducted through a pre-interview or discovery call only.
Can my company sponsor this program?

Yes, we offer corporate versions of all programs with additional organizational integration and leadership team support. Schedule a time to talk with us before registering for the program.
Can I start at any level, or must I begin with Option 1?

Executives who need immediate coaching can select Option 1: Unshakable and schedule a 2-hour coaching session.

Executives can enter at the option level that best matches their current situation and needs. During your discovery call, we'll assess your current situation and recommend the most strategic starting point for your transformation.
What makes this different from traditional executive coaching programs?

This isn't traditional coaching—it's strategic crisis intervention designed specifically for executives at career crossroads. We focus on immediate stabilization, strategic decision-making, and authority restoration rather than general leadership development.
How do you ensure confidentiality for senior executives?

All participants sign mutual NDAs before program entry. We use first names only, maintain strict privacy protocols, and have experienced zero confidentiality breaches in over 25+ years. Your participation remains completely confidential.

Questions About Coaching and Cohorts

What are the general rules for the coaching sessions?

All sessions are conducted with strict confidentiality, mutual respect, and strategic focus. We maintain professional boundaries while fostering a safe space for open and honest leadership challenges. Sessions are recorded only with explicit permission for mentor coaching or to create professional progress or summary notes. All recordings are deleted 24 hours after any session.
How do the cohort programs work

Cohort programs (Elevate and Emerge) include a maximum of 8 participants, all VP+ level executives. Programs combine group sessions, peer-to-peer learning, individual coaching components, and ongoing community access with NDA protection.
Can I switch between individual coaching and cohort programs?

Yes, after completing Options 1 and 2, you can choose the transformation method that best suits your situation and preferences.

We'll help you determine whether individual coaching or cohort participation aligns with your goals.
What happens if I need support between scheduled sessions?

All programs include access for urgent situations. Individual coaching clients have direct access, while cohort participants have access to community support and emergency consultation availability.
How are cohort participants selected and matched?

We carefully screen all participants to ensure appropriate peer-level matching, avoid conflicts of interest, and maintain a confidential environment. Similar leadership challenges and seniority levels guide our selection process.
