Leaders We Support
Executives
Executives face unique challenges that require strategic thinking and the ability to lead through complexity. Our executive coaching hones these critical skills, helping leaders drive innovation, navigate change, and elevate business performance. The process also sharpens emotional intelligence and communication, improving both executive-team dynamics and relationships beyond the workplace, ensuring leaders are equipped to lead with clarity and balance.
Current Leaders
Our coaching for current leaders elevates leadership performance and drives tangible business results. By focusing on strategic decision-making, team dynamics, and managing change, leaders gain the tools to inspire teams and achieve sustainable success. Coaching also enhances emotional intelligence, strengthening workplace relationships and positively influencing interactions beyond work, allowing leaders to thrive in high-pressure environments while maintaining balance.
New and Emerging Managers
For new and emerging managers, coaching accelerates their transition by developing key skills like team management, communication, and goal setting. It empowers them to step confidently into leadership, making an immediate impact on team performance and organizational goals. Alongside career growth, coaching improves self-awareness and resilience, helping build stronger relationships both at work and in their personal lives, creating adaptable leaders.
Our Approach to Leadership Coaching
Group Choaching
Group coaching offers a dynamic, collaborative environment where leaders learn from each other’s experiences under the guidance of a professional coach. Participants explore relevant leadership topics, share insights, and develop skills in real-time with peers. This collective experience fosters accountability, camaraderie, and growth, making it a cost-effective way to achieve meaningful leadership development.
Whether individually or as part of a group, both formats provide flexible options to fit into busy schedules and are designed to deliver lasting, measurable results that enhance leadership effectiveness and overall impact
One-on-One Coaching
In one-on-one coaching, individuals receive personalized attention to explore their unique challenges and opportunities, accelerating personal and professional growth. Through thoughtful questioning, feedback, and accountability, clients experience transformative shifts in how they lead and communicate. This confidential, focused partnership is ideal for maximizing leadership potential.
Integrating Assessments for
Personalized Leadership Growth
At Plum Leadership Group, we offer a wide array of assessments to enhance and deepen the learning process during coaching. Assessments provide valuable insights into areas such as emotional intelligence, leadership style, personality, and how individuals are perceived by others. By leveraging these tools, we help clients gain a clearer understanding of their strengths, blind spots, and opportunities for growth. This self-awareness allows for more targeted coaching, fostering deeper insights and more impactful changes in behavior, leading to greater personal and professional development. Assessments ultimately accelerate progress, ensuring coaching is more personalized and transformative.

The combination of regular check-ins, reflective practices, and assessment-driven feedback ensures that your leadership development is not only purposeful but lasting, driving both personal and professional growth.
Alignment and Introductions
The journey begins with a meeting between the organizational sponsor, the coachee, and the coach to establish alignment. During this initial session, we define the desired outcomes, tailor the coaching program to meet specific needs, and agree on a process for ongoing progress updates between the coach, coachee, and organizational sponsor.
Kick-off Coaching Session
The first session, lasting 1.5 to 2 hours, sets the foundation for the coaching relationship. Coachees engage in reflective, goal-setting exercises, helping both parties gain clarity on expectations and how they will collaborate. The session is designed to create rapport, align on coaching goals, and map out the path forward.
Coaching & Actions
Each coaching session begins with a review of actions and insights from the previous meeting. The majority of the session focuses on a topic of the coachee’s choice, promoting deeper personal awareness and growth. At the end of each session, action items are established to keep the coachee aligned with their overall development goals.
Accountability
For the coaching program to be truly effective, all stakeholders—organization, coaches, and coachees—must play an active role. Regular check-ins between the coach, coachee, and the organization ensure alignment and maintain momentum. Coaches also maintain an open dialogue with coachees, adjusting the approach when needed to ensure success.
Completion
The final coaching session is a celebration of progress. The coachee reflects on their key learnings and growth, identifying next steps for ongoing leadership development. A concluding meeting with the organizational sponsor ensures that the impact of the coaching program is assessed and possible future steps are discussed.
