Our global clients repeatedly describe our coaching as sharp and strategic with a pragmatic business focus. Coaching will help your people see themselves more clearly, and gain the insights they need to grow and develop.

But that’s not the whole story. We help them with the right balance of support and challenge to find their answers and the route to change. We are experts in neuroscience, including behavioural, and strategies for performance. That means it’s a long-term and sustainable transformation, and they will feel the benefit long after we have stopped working with them.

Getting the right coach for your leaders can be daunting, but we will help make it easier. Because we have been matching coaches to leaders for years, and we know what works. And our global and diverse team of coaches are the best; we carefully selected each one -all 90 plus of them.

What Our Clients Say

Clare is an excellent coach. She knows how to adapt sessions and topics to the needs of the moment while making progress towards agreed upon goals. Her experience makes all the difference. The program was very well structured and quite flexible. It has been a tremendous help on a variety of subjects. Clare is by far the best coach I have worked with.

Regional CTO, FinTech

Clare is a truly exceptional coach. Her insight into team interaction and individual development areas, as well as her ability to develop people with constructive and targeted feedback, are unparalleled in my experience.

Managing Director, Global Investment Bank

I’ve really enjoyed working with Clare. This was my first experience of working with a coach and it has been far more effective than I was expecting. Clare really helped me identify and act on some of the challenges I face in my role. The most valuable part was having someone to openly discuss work and career with without judgement or bias. Clare was great at picking up on specific things that I needed help with and providing the tools to tackle them.

Regional Head, High Frequency Trading and Technology Company

I have thoroughly enjoyed every coaching session with Clare and feel enormously grateful for the opportunity to have spent some high quality time on myself, and my future, for a change. Clare has given me the confidence to challenge, experiment and demonstrate an increased level of self-belief. I only wish I had had the opportunity to meet Clare earlier in my career.

Global Banking and Markets Executive, Global Investment Bank

Working with Clare has been a game changer. She has both guided and challenged me to look at how I operate and the changes I will need to make to succeed at the next level. I truly appreciate her style – a fantastic combination of warmth, humour, intellect and direct challenge where needed. I’ve extended my sessions twice. Says it all!

Global Audit Lead, Global Investment Bank

The coaching has been an extremely important part of my on-going development. The coach provided valuable insights and a different perspective. It has given me the opportunity to practice conversations and be challenged about my ideas and beliefs.

International Litigation and Arbitration Lawyer, Global Law Firm

The six sessions I had with my ECC Coach changed my perspective of coaching. I was initially uncertain (and possibly sceptical) about the benefits of coaching but my coach read me very well and knew when to coax a response out from me by being encouraging and when to firmly push me to see the benefits of reframing some of my previously held positions.

Head of Legal

International Property Group

I found my ECC coaching sessions incredibly valuable – for the unique and necessary space I was seeking as a sole proprietor to feel heard, understood and connected to a peer in business. My coaching experience provided a safe space where I could be the real me, and provided a relationship I could truly trust. Thank you ECC.

Manager

Creative Retail Agency

The team is a pleasure to work with, consistently bringing expert advice and guidance, energy and professionalism to the partnership.

Diversity and Inclusion Executive

Multinational Investment Bank

Both from my personal experience of ECC’s approach, and from seeing the impact on our company I can particularly recommend their pragmatic approach and their insight into our collective and individual needs.

Senior Leader

Commercial Property Management and Investment Company

The coaches at ECC are commercial, pragmatic and highly focused. The coaching they provide on an individual basis has given valuable insight and helped our senior executives to gain greater perspective in terms of managing relationships, prioritising, strategic thinking, influencing and confidence.
