Frequently
Asked Questions
Which leaders is this support aimed at ?
This support is aimed at executives going through a demanding or decisive period: taking up a new role, leading a transformation, making a complex strategic decision, or needing to take a step back in a high-pressure environment. It is aimed at CEOs, managing directors and business unit directors, as well as functional directors (HR directors, finance directors, IT directors) facing leadership or governance challenges. The support is tailored to the unique nature of each individual’s career path, whether the organisation is private, public or a non-profit.
What is the benefit of external advice ?
Managers are often left to face their most important decisions alone. Internal teams, however competent they may be, have their own priorities and cannot always offer completely candid advice. An external adviser provides what is often lacking internally: independent judgement, experience gained from other contexts, and the ability to say what others do not. It is an opportunity, test one’s reasoning and make more informed decisions, free from hierarchical constraints or political considerations.
Is the support one-off or ongoing ?
Both options are available, depending on your needs. Some executives turn to us for targeted support relating to a specific decision, a new role or a strategic turning point, with a set number of sessions agreed in advance. Others opt for regular, long-term support, which provides them with a stable, confidential and challenging space for reflection as they navigate the situations they face. In all cases, the format is agreed upon together and can be adapted along the way to reflect your priorities.
