    Senior Leadership Coaching: 6 x 1-Hour One-on-One Sessions

    In six focused sessions, a senior manager clarifies the leader they want to be, builds resilience and strengthens the relationships their role depends on.

    Senior managers carry heavy loads with little time to step back and think. This senior leadership coaching package gives one leader six confidential one-hour sessions with a dedicated coach – enough time to work through a defined theme, such as settling into a bigger role, regaining direction or coping with sustained pressure, without committing to a longer programme.

    Each session has its own focus and builds on the last. The leader starts by clarifying values and strengths and setting SMART goals, then shapes a personal leadership vision and mission. The middle sessions deal with obstacles, resilience, mindfulness and well-being. The final two sessions turn to working relationships and conflict, and then pull everything together into a plan for continued growth. Every session ends with agreed actions, and the next one starts by reviewing them.

    Sessions are scheduled at a pace agreed with the leader, in person or by video call, with short reflection exercises in between.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the coaching confidential?

    Yes. Sessions are confidential between the leader and the coach. If the organisation is paying, agree with us at the start what, if anything, is reported back.

    How is this different from the 3-session and 12-session packages?

    Three sessions give a short reset around one goal. Six sessions allow a full theme to be worked through – goals, vision, resilience, relationships and a forward plan. Twelve sessions over six to twelve months suit leaders in a major transition who need longer support.

    Can sessions be held at our offices or online?

    Yes. Sessions can run at your offices anywhere in South Africa, at a BOTI venue, or by video call.

    Is it accredited?

    No. This is a non-accredited coaching package and the leader receives a BOTI certificate of attendance.

    Can we add sessions later?

    Yes. Follow-up sessions or check-ins can be added once the six sessions are complete.

    Can you run this course in Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban?

    Yes. We train on site at your offices in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town and across South Africa, at a BOTI venue in Johannesburg, or live online so a team spread over several offices can attend together.
