Executive Coaching
Executive coaching from The Effective Communication Coach is one-to-one work for senior leaders and partner-track executives. Engagements typically run four to twelve sessions and include assessment instruments, a 30/60/90-day plan, and a written recap after every session, so progress is deliberate, measured, and owned by the leader.

Two Tracks
Executive coaching runs through one of two tracks. An organization sponsors coaching for a named leader, or a leader engages Denise directly and funds the work themselves. The structure, goals, and confidentiality boundary are set up front so the leader can use every session fully.
Organization-Sponsored
A sponsor funds coaching for a named leader. Goals are agreed jointly by the sponsor, the participant, and the coach. Progress against those agreed goals is reported to the sponsor, while the content of individual sessions stays confidential.
Individually Funded
A leader engages Denise directly and funds the work personally. The path is a short consultation, then a scoped recommendation, so the engagement is shaped around your goals before any commitment.
What's Included
Every engagement opens with assessment instruments, Hogan and 360 feedback, and a written 30/60/90-day plan. After each session the leader receives a written recap, so the work is deliberate, measured, and owned. The COACH Model™ and the DIRECT Coaching Model™ shape the structure throughout.
Hogan assessments and 360 feedback to give leaders clear, specific input on how they communicate and lead.
A written development plan that turns insight into action across the first ninety days and beyond.
A recap after every session so the leader owns the work between sessions and progress is visible.
The COACH Model™ and the DIRECT Coaching Model™ shape the structure of every engagement.
Who It's For
Executive coaching is for senior leaders, newly promoted executives, and partner-track professionals who need to communicate with clarity, presence, and influence in their highest-stakes moments. For a whole team or cohort, explore leadership programs designed for defined groups instead.

Testimonials
“Denise, you are incredible! Thank you for such an engaging and motivating session. I love how your session wrapped up our International Women's Day sessions because it really imparted a forward-looking plan for associates on how to lead. It was exactly what we were looking for…as evidenced by that lively chat box.”

“Thank you so much for your incredible talk with our Women's ERG! Your vibrant and bold words inspired not only the women and allies in person, but also reached the hundreds streaming live. In speaking with attendees afterwards and reading through so many kind messages, you truly impacted our audience positively, many indicating that for the first time in their careers they felt seen. These statements show not only how powerful your words are, but your techniques can be used to bring the changes the women at NM need to continue thriving in the workplace.”
