05 QUESTIONS
Questions worth asking up front.
A short FAQ. For longer conversations, please write directly.
How is this different from executive education?
Education hands you a framework. Private Executive Advisory helps you decide what to do when the framework runs out.
What if my organisation already has an internal coach?
External advisory exists for the conversations you cannot have internally. The two are complementary; the lines of confidentiality matter.
How is success measured?
Privately, by you and your chair. There is no shared scorecard, no internal write-up. The change is meant to be visible to those around you — not described to them.
