1:1 Coaching

OVERVIEW

Because at the top, the conversations get tougher.


For CEOs and senior leaders, the real test isn’t technical, it’s relational. You’re juggling complex stakeholders with competing agendas: regulators scrutinising every move, boards demanding clarity and direction, investors pressing for growth, and senior teams navigating internal politics.

Add the personal challenge of showing up with resilience and presence when the spotlight is relentless. These aren’t issues solved by another strategy deck. They play out in conversations, the ones that define reputation, trust and momentum.

The Benefits​

  • Maintain Authority under scrutiny: Communicate with clarity and composure to regulators, boards and investors.​

  • Strengthen your Political Agility: Navigate complex internal dynamics without losing focus or credibility.​

  • Build Trusted leadership: Build relationships that strengthen alignment at the very top.​

  • Maximise Influence: Shift perspectives and secure buy-in on the issues that matter most.

Our work doesn’t stop at theory. Leaders leave each session with sharper judgement, practical tools and new behaviours they can apply immediately. The result? Leaders who don’t just hold their ground under pressure. They change the game.

How Our Coaching Works

  • We start with a call with our office to understand the context: the leader’s role, current challenges, and desired outcomes. This helps us recommend the right coach and ensures alignment with the organisation’s goals.

  • The leader meets their proposed coach for a confidential chemistry conversation. This is a chance to explore fit, style and expectations. Because coaching works best when the relationship feels right.

  • Together, we set clear goals for the coaching, rooted in both organisational priorities and the leader’s personal ambitions. We agree on success measures and shape a tailored journey that blends space to reflect with opportunities to rehearse and practise.

  • Regular 1:1 sessions (typically 6–9 over 6–12 months) are delivered by Bateman’s subject-matter experts. Each session combines insight, challenge and practice; tackling real issues from boardroom politics to regulatory conversations, investor presentations or leading change.

  • Mid-point and end-point reviews ensure progress is tracked and sustained. Leaders, coaches and (where appropriate) sponsors align on what’s shifting and what’s next, so learning translates directly into business impact.

  • Item description

  • Bateman remains a partner beyond the coaching journey — available for follow-up sessions, refreshers, or support with high-stakes moments. We’re here to make sure the shift isn’t temporary, but transformational.
