Leadership Coaching
Elevate your leadership impact through personalized executive coaching and strategic development
About This Service
Technical leadership demands far more than technical expertise. As you advance from individual contributor to team lead, manager, director, or executive, the challenges shift from solving technical problems to enabling others to solve problems, from making decisions yourself to building frameworks that help teams make good decisions, and from hands-on execution to strategic direction-setting. This transition is difficult, and most technical leaders receive little formal development in the leadership capabilities required to succeed.
Campbell Method Leadership Coaching provides one-on-one executive coaching specifically designed for technical leaders navigating these challenges. Through structured coaching engagements, we develop the leadership capabilities, decision frameworks, and communication skills that enable you to scale your impact and drive meaningful organizational transformation.
Our coaching approach is highly personalized, focusing on your specific challenges, leadership style, and development goals. Sessions combine strategic coaching on immediate leadership challenges you're facing with skill development in core leadership competencies like strategic thinking, executive communication, influence without authority, feedback and coaching skills, conflict resolution, and change management. We use real situations from your work as the learning laboratory, developing frameworks and approaches you can apply immediately.
Leadership Coaching is designed for technical leaders at all levels: engineering managers building their first teams, directors of engineering leading leaders, VPs of Engineering and CTOs driving organizational transformation, and individual contributors preparing for or recently transitioning into leadership roles. Common coaching topics include: developing strategic thinking and long-term planning capabilities, strengthening executive communication and stakeholder management, building high-performing teams and establishing team culture, navigating organizational politics and influence dynamics, managing up and partnering effectively with business leadership, and developing personal leadership presence and executive brand.

How We Work Together
- Leadership Assessment & Goal Setting (Sessions 1-2): Comprehensive assessment of your current leadership capabilities, challenges, and development goals. Review of your leadership context, team structure, and organizational dynamics. Identification of priority areas for coaching focus, establishment of success metrics, and creation of coaching engagement structure.
- Active Coaching & Skill Development (Sessions 3-10): Regular coaching sessions (typically bi-weekly or monthly) focused on your priority leadership challenges and development areas. Each session addresses immediate leadership situations you're navigating while building longer-term capabilities through frameworks, practice, and reflection. Between-session work includes applying new approaches, experimenting with communication styles, and gathering feedback.
- Integration & Application (Throughout): Ongoing application of leadership frameworks and skills to real work situations. Regular reflection on what's working, what's challenging, and how to refine your approach. Adjustment of coaching focus based on evolving needs and emerging leadership opportunities.
- Transition & Sustainability Planning (Final Sessions): Reflection on leadership growth achieved, documentation of key frameworks and approaches for future reference, creation of ongoing development plan for continued growth beyond coaching engagement, and identification of support structures and resources for maintaining momentum.
Typical Timeline
Leadership Coaching engagements typically run 3-6 months with bi-weekly or monthly one-hour coaching sessions (6-12 sessions total), providing consistent support while allowing time to apply learning between sessions. The timeline allows for meaningful leadership development while respecting the demands on your schedule. Some leaders prefer shorter intensive engagements around specific challenges (3 months), while others find value in longer developmental coaching relationships (6+ months).
Session cadence is flexible based on your preferences and needs. Bi-weekly sessions work well during periods of significant change or when actively developing new skills. Monthly sessions are effective for strategic coaching on ongoing challenges and accountability for long-term development goals. Many leaders establish ongoing coaching relationships with quarterly check-ins after an initial intensive engagement, maintaining a trusted advisor relationship for emerging leadership challenges.
Investment & Pricing
Leadership Coaching engagements are priced based on the engagement duration (number of sessions), session frequency, and scope of your leadership development goals. Pricing reflects the strategic value of enhanced leadership capabilities, which create leverage across your entire organization, and the personalized attention required for effective executive coaching.
