Individual leadership coaching for executives and high-potentials
Wheelhouse Coaching helps leaders better understand what their organization defines as a success profile and how others perceive them relative to that profile. By integrating these two components, leaders are able to achieve a positive, sustainable, and measurable result at a personal, interpersonal, and organizational level.
Our flagship coaching program follows the highly successful, process-oriented coaching program of Marshall Goldsmith, the number one executive coach in the world.

Successful people become great leaders when they learn to shift the focus from themselves to others.

The Process
The fundamental principles of this particular coaching process are threefold:
- Attention on the stakeholders – The true leverage points in perceived leadership change are the people who work with the leader every day. Our approach is to turn these stakeholders into the true coaches of the leader who is improving.
- Emphasis on the future – Most coaching and leadership development focuses on feedback as the key to improvement. Well timed, constructive feedback can be extremely valuable. However, we focus on “Feedforward,” which is asking for suggestions for the future. You cannot do anything abut the past, but you can do something about the future, thus is the importance of asking for suggestions.
- Parallel behavior/perception change – Most coaching processes don’t involve stakeholders. Coaches and leaders expect the people around them to notice the change without any prompting. That rarely happens. We focus on the leader’s behavior change and on the perception of the change by the people that are most affected by it.
Guaranteed Results
More than 95% of leaders who have gone through a similar coaching process measurably improve their leadership effectiveness according to their stakeholders. This means that not only do leaders actually improve but their improvement is recognized by those they work with, powerfully building their personal leadership brand equity.
