Fully customised coaching that empowers executives to make a lasting impact and fuel long-term organisational success, powered by strategic insight from career experts.
Our highly experienced coaches facilitate self-discovery to give senior leaders greater certainty, self-assurance, and strategic clarity. Our coaches support executives to establish a professional development plan and/or strategic plan for their own improvement, as well as the improvement of their people and firm.
At Robert Walters, each coaching programme is unique. We carefully select coaches to support executives at all levels of their career, regardless of their organisational circumstances or personal aspirations.
Our coaches facilitate self-discovery for executives, so that each executive uncovers their own solutions and decisions. The executive coach does not have a predetermined outcome in mind. Rather, they enable the executive to generate options, confidently make decisions, and develop themselves along the way.
All executives need support, but companies spend less time focusing on the development needs of their top senior leaders which is risky for the firm and its people.
Our experienced coaches mitigate risks associated with underdeveloped or under-supported leaders with tailored, continued learning to maximise the prospects of success.
Targeted outcomes
We know an executive’s time is precious, so our coaching focuses on the areas of maximum impact. Our coaching is developed around clear action plans, moulded around each executive’s personal and professional goals to culminate in clear objectives and recommendations they can apply in the working world.
Proven coaches
We handpick coaches from our bench of certified and experienced experts who each have a proven track record in helping executives to achieve results. Our coaches have worked in a wide range of sectors across multiple countries and global business hubs.
Ideal for all leadership stages and styles
Our executive coaching is ideal for any leader who wants to be their best selves. From newly minted CEOs to established leaders, to those preparing for succession/exit, our coaches help leaders navigate challenges, reduce uncertainty, and refine decision-making.
Many executives don’t have easily accessible training within their day-to-day as companies tend to focus training on junior management or grassroots employees. Our executive coaching provides a personalised path of professional development.
While our programme is focused on guiding and supporting executives, it also allows organisations to showcase their commitment to investing in leadership development through tailored programmes meant to bring out the best in their people. To the rest of their employees, this demonstrates a culture of learning – often attractive for top talent at all levels.

Many organisations treat mid-year reviews as a simple administrative exercise – a formality between more “serious” performance cycles. According to a recent survey by international recruitment specialist Robert Walters, 45% of business leaders believe mid-year reviews are just a formality. But in a
Read MoreAbsolutely. Our specialist executive coaching services are designed to align closely with your organisation’s strategic priorities and performance objectives. We begin by working you to understand your business goals, leadership challenges, and cultural context. From there, each coaching engagement is tailored to support outcomes such as driving transformation, strengthening leadership capability, improving succession readiness, or something as simple as helping you enhance your influence among your people.
Coaching goals are clearly defined at the outset and, where appropriate, aligned with organisational KPIs to ensure relevance and impact. This approach ensures individual development directly supports wider business objectives, delivering measurable value for both the leader and the organisation. Although we recommend at least 4-6 sessions, coaching can be ongoing and you are always welcome to return for additional sessions should business objectives change over time.
There is no fixed number of years of experience required to sign up for executive coaching. Executive coaching is designed for individuals who hold leadership responsibility or are preparing to step into more senior roles. This may include first-time leaders, experienced executives, or high-potential professionals navigating increased complexity, scale, or visibility. What matters most is not tenure, but readiness, such as a desire to develop leadership capability, manage change more effectively, or align personal impact with organisational goals. Coaching is tailored to the individual’s context, ensuring it remains relevant whether someone has five years’ experience or twenty.
This is why our coaching panel is made up of a range of certified coaches with varying years of experience to ensure they are able to provide you with the most relevant advice and recommendations.
