How an engagement works
Every engagement is personal, but the structure is proven. We begin with the Myers-Briggs Personal Impact Report: a deep, honest map of how you lead, communicate under pressure, and where your blind spots sit. From there we agree clear objectives, and where the company funds the coaching, we align those objectives with your CEO or HR sponsor without ever compromising confidentiality.
Sessions are 90 minutes and focused, with timing and frequency tailored to your specific situation, and direct access to me between sessions for short questions and support. Everything is remote, wherever you are in the world; I coach leaders from New York to Sydney.
What every engagement includes
- An agreed package of 90-minute coaching sessions, with timing and frequency tailored to your situation
- A certified Myers-Briggs assessment and debrief
- Two administered 360 reviews: one at the outset to baseline, one at the close to measure progress
- Stakeholder interviews to understand the dynamics around you
- Access to my proprietary tools and frameworks
- Introductions to my network where they can help
- Where the company sponsors the engagement: one session dedicated to three-way objective setting with your sponsor, with reporting cadence agreed by all parties
We measure the change
Before-and-after 360 reviews, agreed objectives, visible shifts in how you lead. This is coaching with the rigour a board expects, because that’s the standard I work to every day.
What we work on
Mastery of self
Self-discovery and baselining, values, resilience and energy management, leadership vision and style, communication under pressure, the imposter syndrome that shadows the most talented leaders.
Mastery of craft
Strategic positioning and performance (brand and marketing strategy, effectiveness, metrics and ROI), building the marketing function (organisation design, operating models, build-versus-buy capability, budgets, partners), and leadership effectiveness (high-performance cultures, stakeholder influence, elevating marketing from tactical to strategic).
Mastery of the day-to-day
The real challenges on your desk this week, worked through with someone who has faced them.
Investment
Fees are bespoke to the engagement’s scope and are typically company funded. What I can tell you upfront: this is a premium engagement, deliberately limited, and every engagement includes measurement, so the business sees the return.
Who gets the most from this
CMOs and marketing leaders one step from the top job. Leaders new in the seat who want the first year to count. Experienced operators facing something bigger: a board, a turnaround, a market they’ve never played in.
And though I built this for marketers, senior leaders beyond marketing have done some of the best work in these sessions. Talent responds to coaching regardless of function.
What leaders say
“Moving from a local to a regional role leading 16 countries and three brands, I felt like a failure and not a fit. Andrew is one of the best subject matter experts in global marketing I know, and he understood my context completely because he had overcome similar challenges himself. He helped me find structure in a hyper-chaotic situation. There is light, there is hope, and I feel confident at last.”
