His clients are the best at what they do. They love striving to be great and aren’t afraid of staying on the edge. Like all great leaders and teams, they recognize the value of having a coach and advisor by their side to navigate the challenges of today’s business landscape.

Today’s teams are treading water. Between external and internal performance pressures, employee burnout, and relentless change, it is easy for teamship to remain low on leaders’ list of priorities. Today, however, teamship skills like shared candor, shared accountability, and shared execution are a high-performance imperative: for yourself, for the teams you lead, for your organization.

Alex believes the most effective team coaching happens when the coach can observe and engage with the team in real time, in their day-to-day environment, much like how a professional sports coach supports the performance of a professional sports team. Done in this way, executive team coaching allows a leadership team to experience continuous, intentional, and measurable improvement over time, making it a much more worthwhile investment in the future performance of the organization at large.
