Executive Coaching
Strategic guidance for C‑suite technology leaders navigating complex leadership challenges
Navigate Your Career with Clarity and Intent
Executive coaching at Agency Three is designed specifically for senior technology leaders who are navigating critical career moments. Whether you're considering your next move, managing a complex transition, or positioning yourself for board‑level opportunities, our coaching provides the strategic clarity and tactical guidance you need.
We work with CTOs, CIOs, CDOs, and other C‑suite technology executives who understand that career progression at this level requires more than technical excellence. It demands strategic positioning, stakeholder navigation, and the ability to articulate your value in ways that resonate with boards and executive teams.
Executive Coaching at Agency Three
Our coaching at Agency Three is built on our proprietary EQ/IQ framework developed specifically for senior technology leaders, addressing the reality that progression at C‑suite level requires both technical/strategic capability (IQ) and the emotional intelligence (EQ) to navigate complex organisational dynamics.
Most technology leaders are promoted for their IQ strengths: driving technology innovation, delivering commercial outcomes, managing enterprise platforms, and mitigating risk. But effectiveness at executive level is determined by EQ dimensions they've rarely been taught to develop: building strategic influence with boards, leading through ambiguity, navigating political complexity, embedding organisational change, and translating technical decisions for non‑technical peers.
How Executive Coaching Works
Initial Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your current situation, career objectives, and the specific challenges you're facing. This includes understanding your organisational context, market positioning, and long‑term ambitions.
Strategic Planning
Together, we develop a clear strategic plan tailored to your specific situation. This includes defining objectives, identifying key stakeholders, mapping potential pathways, and establishing success metrics.
Ongoing Coaching Sessions
Regular coaching sessions provide continuous support as you execute your strategy. We adapt to evolving circumstances, address emerging challenges, and ensure you maintain momentum toward your objectives.
Continuous Support
Between scheduled sessions, you have access to ad‑hoc support for urgent decisions, unexpected opportunities, or critical moments that require immediate strategic guidance.
Who Benefits from Executive Coaching
Leaders Seeking Internal Advancement
You're performing strongly but finding yourself in a holding pattern. You know you're capable of the next level but need strategic guidance on how to position yourself and navigate organisational dynamics.
Executives Considering External Moves
You're being approached by recruiters or considering external opportunities. You need objective guidance to assess whether these moves align with your long‑term career trajectory.
Leaders Preparing for Board Roles
You're positioning yourself for board‑level opportunities and need to develop the strategic perspective, governance understanding, and market visibility that board positions require.
Executives in Active Transitions
You're in the middle of a high‑stakes search or transition and need strategic support to navigate interviews, assess opportunities, negotiate offers, and ensure successful onboarding.
