Executive Coach, Team Coach & Organizational Consultant

Alex Durand joins Seven Stones Leadership as the founder of Frable, a boutique coaching & consulting firm that helps leadership teams get out of their own way. 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. Alex is a Columbia University credentialed Professional Executive Coach. He holds a Bachelor of Accountancy from George Washington University and received his MFA in Writing from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).

Alex is certified in several assessment tools including Korn Ferry’s Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI) and Hogan Assessments. He is a PwC alum. Alex is fluent in Spanish, conversational in French, and is improving his Portuguese. Over the years he has lived in Mexico City, Istanbul, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles. He and his wife are spending the year in Porto, Portugal. He collaborates with clients around the world. His current compulsions are writing short stories and playing tennis.
