Vantage has significant experience in designing comprehensive leadership development programs.

Executive Leadership Coaching

Executive leadership coaching offers leaders the opportunity to focus on personal and professional development in a confidential and collaborative one-on-one environment. Our coaching programs are custom-designed for each client and may include an array of assessment options, face-to-face coaching, or coaching via phone or Skype depending on location. The team of coaches at Vantage is highly qualified in terms of coaching skills, knowledge, and experience. In addition to having specific coach training, our coaches have individual backgrounds in business, organizational development, education, psychology, and counseling.

All of Vantage’s coaches are certified by organizations recognized by the International Coaching Federation or have experience equal to certification. Because of their formal education, certifications, training, and experience, Vantage coaches have highly developed coaching philosophies that focus on bringing out the best in individuals. Collectively, Vantage coaches have the capability to administer a wide variety of assessment instruments including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI), FIRO-B, DiSC, OPM Leadership 360, Strong Interest Inventory, and others.
