Executive Coaching

Private Coaching Sessions

Bespoke coaching to suit you

Every senior manager and executive will have different personal goals when working with a coach – from enhancing personal leadership style to preparing for media interviews, company addresses as well as general boosting confidence, assertiveness and influence.

Our coaching sessions are tailored to the individual. In advance, we’ll discuss your personal goals to pair you with an expert coach who has relevant experience, understands your role, organisation and sector. Sessions will be completely confidential and are available on site at your offices, off site in our studios as well as online. Timings, dates and locations are all flexed to suit your diary.

In cases where you are based outside London, our coaches can work on different time zones online as well as travel to work with you.

City Academy is able to offer single coaching sessions as well as longer-form programmes to suit your requirements.
