Executive Peer Coaching for Leaders Taking on Greater Enterprise Responsibility

Leadership transitions are personal.

They are not always best navigated alone.

The Protekz Executive Circle™ brings a small group of senior leaders together in a confidential coaching environment where they can examine live leadership challenges, challenge assumptions, learn from different perspectives and translate insight into action.

This is not a leadership course.

It is not a sequence of presentations.

And it is not an executive networking forum.

It is facilitated group coaching built around the real leadership work participants are carrying.

Who It Is For

The Executive Circle is designed for small cohorts of experienced leaders such as:

• Directors and Vice President

• senior technical and functional leaders

• enterprise successors and high-potential senior executives

• leaders taking on larger cross-functional mandates

• executives navigating significant organizational transition

A typical closed cohort includes 6–8 participants at comparable levels of leadership complexity.

What the Circle Develops

Participants work on their own leadership while learning through the experience of peers.

Themes may include:

• enterprise judgment and decision quality

• transition from expertise to leadership through others

• delegation and accountability

• executive identity and presence

• stakeholder influence

• cross-functional leadership

• difficult conversations and productive challenge

• leading through uncertainty and transformation

• building leadership capacity that does not depend on personal control

Programme Architecture

• Duration: approximately 6 months

• 6–8 senior leaders per cohort

• Executive intake and individual transition goals

• 8 facilitated group-coaching sessions

• Two individual integration conversations per participant

• Appropriate individual assessment or reflective diagnostic

• Peer coaching and leadership experiments between sessions

• Midpoint recalibration

• Final integration and 90-day continuation commitments

• Sponsor alignment and organizational outcome review for closed corporate cohorts

• Delivery may be virtual, in person or blended.

How Group Coaching Works

Each participant brings real leadership situations into the coaching process.

The coach does not provide a predetermined answer.

Participants are supported to examine assumptions, listen differently, test alternative perspectives and decide what they will do next.

The peer group creates an additional source of challenge and learning while each executive retains ownership of their own decisions and development.

Confidentiality

Psychological safety is essential.

At the beginning of the engagement, the cohort establishes clear agreements covering confidentiality, participation, challenge, attendance and the use of information shared by other participants.

For organization-sponsored cohorts, sponsor reporting focuses on agreed collective outcomes and programme-level themes. Individual coaching disclosures are not reported without explicit agreement.

Not Executive Team Coaching

The Executive Circle develops individual executives through a shared coaching environment.

Organizations seeking coaching for an intact executive team, board-management relationship or collective leadership system should request a separately designed team or enterprise engagement.

Enterprise Investment

Executive Circle engagements are designed around cohort size, assessment requirements, delivery format and organizational objectives.

Typical investment: from C$45,000 per closed cohort plus applicable taxes.

A detailed scope is developed following an organizational consultation.

The Value of the Circle

The objective is not simply better individual insight.

It is to strengthen a cohort of leaders who can exercise broader judgment, challenge constructively, lead across boundaries and carry greater enterprise responsibility.
