About Executive Coaching
Taking time off work to manage an illness or injury can be challenging, especially when you have a senior or leadership role. Executive Coaching is designed to help individuals in leadership roles return to work with confidence.
A dedicated coach can assist you with:
- Developing techniques and strategies for maintaining or returning to work with your current employer
- Find new executive or leadership roles, if you are unable to return to your previous position
- Understand your work-related challenges and goals following a sickness or injury
- Assist with networking within your industry
- Support you to pitch or present at an executive level to increase your confidence
The program is suitable for:
- Individuals who have returned to their executive career part-time and require support to maintain or increase their hours
- Individuals who are unable to return to their previous occupation, but have the capacity to work in an executive level position, and have a history of executive roles
A practical example*

Zara was working as a Director at a large consulting firm when she was diagnosed with a mental health condition. Zara did not feel able to continue in her Director role due to her mental health condition and resigned.
After treatment for her mental health, and with support from her doctor, Zara felt ready to return to an executive role with a new employer.
An Executive Coach assisted Zara to identify her core strengths and interests, the type of workplace culture that was important to her and establish her personal brand.
The executive coach assisted her with sourcing executive roles and was there for her to practice her pitch to a board of directors as well as her interview and presentation skills.
After three months, Zara was successful in securing an executive role in a mid-size accounting firm.
