Individual Executive Coaching 

One-to-one coaching and facilitation with heads of business units such as marketing directors, production directors, general managers, etc, as well as board members, directors, MDs and CEOs.

We work with a significant number of individual CEOs and directors to support them in their challenging roles, both on an organisational level and on a personal basis.

The CEO Role

Their job is one of the most demanding and complex roles there is.  CEOs have positions of power and authority yet they must gain and retain support from many diverse stakeholders.  We act as coach and sounding board to many CEOs - both first-time appointments and others as they ‘come to grips' with their agenda, negotiate their transition phase and move the organisation forward.

Senior Leaders and Functional Heads

Many executives who join a senior team for the first time find it is an experience for which they are almost completely unprepared. We help them comprehend and become confident in their new 'cabinet' role and thereby make a valuable contribution to their future success and the business.

Succession

We help talented executives become credible, attractive candidates for senior leadership positions and continue to support them as they progress in the organisation.

Women in Boardrooms 

Praesta provide specialist help to Chairs and CEOs who want to create an environment in which talented women, as well as talented men, are encouraged and supported so that they become excellent candidates for Board positions.
