Methodology

Executive Coaching Methodology

SYNC works with individuals and teams to achieve organizational and personal goals. We assist leaders as they transition to new roles, partner with senior executives as they tackle expanded responsibilities, and help high potentials develop the competencies required for business success.

What it means for you

A process designed around your outcomes, not ours

Every leader we work with arrives with a different mandate — a new role, a stalled team, an executive presence gap, a critical transition. The eight steps below are the path we walk together to turn that mandate into measurable change. It is deliberate, evidence-based, and tailored to you at every stage.

Clarity

Steps 1–2 align you, your manager, and your coach on the outcomes that matter.

Insight

Steps 3–5 use validated assessments to turn self-awareness into a concrete plan.

Impact

Steps 6–8 deploy the plan, sustain momentum, and prove the results to your organization.

Develop Case for Action

We start with clarity. Before any coaching begins, we align with you and your manager on the real issues, the value at stake, and the outcomes that will define success.

Launch Program

Your program is formally introduced and your coach meets with you to establish trust, set expectations, and create the safe space where honest growth happens.

Assessment Process

Validated tools like HBDI, Visions and Hogan surface your strengths, blind spots, and the patterns shaping how you lead — grounding our work in evidence, not assumption.

Feedback Process

We sit with the data together. In one-on-one sessions, we translate results into a clear picture of your assets and the development areas with the highest leverage.

Action Plan Creation

Insight becomes a plan. We co-create a formal, written action plan tied to specific outcomes — so coaching produces measurable change, not just good conversations.

Deploy Action Plan

Your plan moves off the page and into your week. We deploy the resources, structures, and timeframes that make new behaviors stick under real-world pressure.

Resources with Timeframes Implemented

Coaching Sessions

Ongoing coaching keeps momentum. Regular sessions with you, plus periodic check-ins with your manager or HR partner, ensure progress stays visible and aligned.

Evaluation Process

We close the loop. Growth is monitored and validated through feedback from your manager and organization — so the impact is undeniable to everyone watching.
