Approach

The Coaching+ Approach

The full arc of coaching tools, with the added benefit of working with you to guide actions based on extensive real-world executive experience.

Methodology

Coaching+ uses the full coaching toolkit - questioning, framing, challenge, reflection, structured frameworks - applied with discipline to whatever the client brings into the room.

The added benefit is experience. Our coaches have led at the executive level for years. Where it helps, we step beyond pure non-directive coaching and offer guidance shaped by what has worked in real organisations.

The result is coaching that is effective, focused, and results-orientated - coaching that goes beyond the technique to the outcome you came for.

The coach with real experience doesn’t just ask better questions - they know which questions actually matter.

The Coaching Process

A simple, structured flow. Discovery call, exploratory session, ongoing 1-hour coaching, real-time capture of insights and actions.

01

Discovery

A 30-minute call to see how we can work together

Every engagement begins with a Discovery Call. It is short and exploratory - a chance for both sides to see whether we are a fit before any commitment. We talk about what you want from coaching, what is in the way, and how we might work together.

  • 30-minute video call
  • Relaxed and exploratory
  • No obligation to continue
  • Clear recommendation on next steps
02

Explore

An exploratory session to set the foundation

If we decide to work together, the first full session is exploratory. We map out what matters to you, what success looks like, and how the coaching will be structured. From session two onwards, you bring the topic and we work on it together.

  • 1-hour exploratory session
  • Goal-setting and context-mapping
  • Agreement on cadence and rhythm
  • Permission set for the coaching AI summary tool
03

Coach

1-hour sessions, client-led topics

Ongoing sessions are 1 hour each. You bring the topic - the decision, the conflict, the opportunity, the doubt - and we work on it together. We use the full arc of coaching tools, with the added benefit of guidance shaped by years of operating at the executive level.

  • 1-hour 1:1 video sessions
  • You bring the topic each session
  • Full coaching toolkit applied
  • Direct, experience-backed input where it helps
04

Capture

A real-time coaching journal, with your permission

With your permission, our coaching AI agent summarises each session. You walk away with a real-time coaching journal: insights, decisions, and the actions you committed to. It is yours - confidential, searchable, and a permanent record of the work.

  • Session summaries generated automatically
  • Insights, decisions, and actions captured
  • Permission-based - off by default
  • Yours to keep and reference

What makes this approach different

Four things that distinguish Coaching+ from generic executive coaching.

Full coaching toolkit

We use the full arc of coaching tools - questioning, framing, challenge, reflection, and structured frameworks - applied with discipline to whatever you bring.

Executive experience layered in

The added benefit: we have done the work. Where it helps, we guide actions based on extensive real-world experience leading at the executive level.

Client-led topics

You bring the topic. The agenda is yours, every session. Coaching that matters is coaching that meets you where the heat is.

AI-supported journaling

With your permission, our coaching AI summarises sessions in real time. Your insights, decisions, and actions captured and ready when you need them.

What a session looks like

Sessions are 1 hour. You bring the topic. We work it together. With your permission, the AI captures the outcome.

First 5 minutes
Brief check-in on what happened since the last session. What did you commit to? What moved?
5 – 55 minutes
The coaching conversation - led by the topic you bring. Deep listening, precise questions, frameworks where useful, and direct input from experience where it adds value.
Final 5 minutes
Action planning. The insight from today, the commitment for next time, and (with your permission) an AI-generated summary added to your coaching journal.

Sessions take place via secure video call. The coaching engagement runs for as long as it needs to - some clients work with us for a single package, others continue across years.

How long does coaching last?

As long as may be required. There is no fixed end date - coaching continues as long as it is useful. Most engagements start with a 4, 6, or 8-session package, and many clients return for further packages as new challenges or opportunities arise.
