At Trusted Exec Guidance, we believe that exceptional leadership is not an innate trait — it is a skill that can be cultivated, refined, and mastered through deliberate practice and expert guidance. Based in Gatineau, Quebec, our team of certified coaches brings decades of combined experience in corporate leadership, organizational psychology, and strategic management.
We work with C-suite executives, vice-presidents, directors, and emerging leaders across both the public and private sectors. Our evidence-based methodology draws on cognitive-behavioral coaching frameworks, positive psychology, and systems thinking to produce lasting behavioral change. Every engagement begins with a thorough assessment of your leadership style, organizational context, and personal aspirations.
Our proximity to the National Capital Region means we understand the unique dynamics of government, policy-driven organizations, and the bilingual business environment that defines this area. Whether you lead a federal department, a technology startup, or a mid-size enterprise, we tailor every session to your reality.
We offer a comprehensive suite of executive coaching programs designed to address the most pressing challenges facing today's organizational leaders.
Deeply personalized sessions tailored to your leadership context. We focus on strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, decision-making under pressure, and authentic leadership presence. Typical engagements span six to twelve months with bi-weekly sessions, supplemented by real-time support between meetings.
Strengthen the collective effectiveness of your senior leadership team. Through facilitated workshops, team diagnostics, and ongoing group coaching, we help executive teams align on strategy, resolve interpersonal friction, and build the psychological safety necessary for innovation and candid dialogue.
The first ninety days in a new executive role are critical. Our transition coaching accelerates your integration, helps you establish credibility quickly, navigate political dynamics, and build early wins that set the tone for long-term success. Ideal for newly promoted or externally hired leaders.
For leaders who need to close specific performance gaps or prepare for high-stakes situations such as board presentations, organizational restructuring, or crisis management. We provide structured, goal-oriented coaching with clear metrics and accountability checkpoints.
Gain a comprehensive understanding of how you are perceived by peers, direct reports, and superiors. We administer validated leadership assessments, debrief results with sensitivity, and co-create a targeted development plan that addresses blind spots and amplifies strengths.
Leadership shapes culture, and culture drives performance. We partner with executive teams to diagnose cultural barriers, design engagement strategies, and embed leadership behaviors that foster trust, inclusion, and high performance across the entire organization.
A structured yet flexible approach that adapts to your unique leadership journey and organizational context.
We begin with a complimentary sixty-minute consultation to understand your leadership challenges, career aspirations, and organizational context. This is a confidential, no-obligation conversation designed to determine mutual fit and clarify coaching objectives.
Using validated instruments such as the Hogan Leadership Forecast Series, Emotional Intelligence assessments, and stakeholder interviews, we build a detailed picture of your leadership profile — strengths, derailers, and growth opportunities.
Together, we co-create a focused development plan with three to five priority areas, measurable outcomes, and a realistic timeline. This plan becomes the roadmap for every coaching session and is revisited quarterly to ensure relevance.
Regular sessions — typically seventy-five minutes every two weeks — combine reflective dialogue, skill-building exercises, real-time problem-solving, and accountability reviews. Between sessions, you have access to your coach via email for time-sensitive leadership challenges.
At the conclusion of the engagement, we conduct a formal review including a repeat 360-degree assessment, progress evaluation against initial goals, and a forward-looking sustainability plan to ensure your growth continues well beyond our work together.
Hear from leaders who have transformed their effectiveness through our coaching partnership.
Working with Trusted Exec Guidance was a pivotal moment in my career. The coaching helped me navigate a complex organizational restructuring with confidence and empathy. My team engagement scores increased by twenty-three percent within six months.
The 360-degree feedback process was eye-opening. I discovered blind spots I had been carrying for years. My coach provided a safe, challenging space to work through them. I am now a more self-aware and effective leader because of this experience.
As a first-time CEO, I was overwhelmed by the scope of the role. The transition coaching program gave me a clear framework for my first hundred days and the confidence to make bold strategic decisions. I cannot recommend this team highly enough.
Answers to common questions about executive coaching and how our programs work.
While mentoring typically involves an experienced professional sharing advice based on their own career journey, executive coaching is a structured, goal-oriented process facilitated by a trained coach. We use evidence-based techniques to help you discover your own solutions, build self-awareness, and develop sustainable leadership behaviors. The coach does not need to have held your specific role — instead, they bring expertise in human behavior, organizational dynamics, and change management.
Most executive coaching engagements last between six and twelve months, depending on the complexity of the goals and the pace of progress. Transition coaching programs are typically shorter — around three to four months — while comprehensive leadership development engagements may extend to a full year. We establish a clear timeline and milestones at the outset and adjust as needed.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of effective coaching. Everything discussed in coaching sessions remains strictly between you and your coach. When an organization sponsors the coaching, we establish a three-way agreement that clearly defines what information, if any, is shared with the sponsor — typically limited to high-level progress themes, never specific session content.
Yes. We offer both in-person sessions at our Gatineau office and secure video-based coaching. Research consistently shows that virtual coaching is equally effective as face-to-face sessions when conducted with proper technology and protocols. Many of our clients prefer a hybrid model — meeting in person for the initial assessment and periodic check-ins, with regular sessions conducted online for convenience.
We use a multi-faceted approach to measure impact. This includes pre- and post-coaching 360-degree assessments, self-reported progress on development goals, stakeholder feedback, and where applicable, organizational metrics such as team engagement scores, retention rates, and performance indicators. We believe in demonstrating tangible return on investment for every coaching engagement.
