Leadership Coaching for Executives & High-Potential Employees

Executive coaching costs vary widely based on coach experience, program length, session format, and organizational scope. Many executive coaches charge by the hour, package, or leadership development engagement. Ascent Performance Trainings does not list standard pricing because programs are tailored around leadership goals, participant level, delivery format, reinforcement needs, and desired business outcomes.

The 70/30 rule generally means the coachee does about 70% of the talking while the coach contributes about 30% through questions, reflection, challenge, and guidance. In leadership coaching, this helps executives build self-awareness, ownership, and practical solutions instead of simply receiving advice. The coach facilitates insight while the leader connects learning to real responsibilities.

The 7 C’s of executive presence are often described as confidence, clarity, composure, credibility, connection, communication, and charisma. Together, they influence how leaders are perceived in high-stakes conversations, presentations, team interactions, and change initiatives. Coaching helps leaders strengthen these qualities through feedback, practice, self-awareness, and intentional communication habits.

Leadership coaching is ideal for executives, emerging leaders, high-potential employees, sales leaders, managers, and professionals preparing for broader responsibility. It is especially valuable when leaders need to improve influence, communication, emotional intelligence, decision-making, team performance, or strategic execution. Programs can be customized for individuals, cohorts, or organization-wide leadership development initiatives.

Program length depends on the format and objectives. Ascent Performance Trainings offers options such as the 10-week Ascent Leadership Academy, 60 to 90-minute virtual microlearning sessions, one-on-one coaching, classroom workshops, and eight weeks of post-training reinforcement. The structure is designed to support both immediate skill application and sustained behavior change.
