Executive coaching and individual 1:1 mentoring

An individual 1:1 development program for managers and executives — executive coaching and mentoring tailored to the leader's specific goals. The program is delivered by a certified coach and is based on individual sessions, diagnosis and measurable development goals.

The highest roles are the loneliest — a leader needs a space to think out loud

The higher you go in an organization, the fewer people you can honestly discuss decisions, doubts and challenges with. Executive coaching gives a leader what is missing at the top: a confidential thinking partner who does not judge, but helps you think more clearly and act more effectively.

Executive coaching and individual 1:1 mentoring is an EITT development program for executives. It combines coaching (discovering your own answers) with mentoring (sharing experience), delivered by a certified coach, based on individual, measurable development goals.

Who is this program for?

For leaders who need individual, tailored development support. Especially when:

You are taking on a new, larger role and want to step into it consciously and effectively
You face challenges that cannot be discussed inside the organization
You want to work on specific leadership competencies in a 1:1 relationship

Three stages: diagnosis, development sessions, consolidation of results

The program begins with diagnosis and a development contract with measurable goals. Its core is regular 1:1 sessions combining coaching and mentoring, tailored to the leader’s pace and real professional situations. The program ends with a review of results and a plan for further, independent development.

What does the 1:1 development program give you?

Working on real, individual leadership and business goals
Greater self-awareness — strengths, limitations and behavior patterns
Better decisions through structured reflection with an experienced coach
A combination of coaching and mentoring tailored to your needs
Measurable development results verified during the program

The program complements EITT’s managerial development path — the group trainings From colleague to boss - First Time Manager, Manager Academy and Dare to Lead — courageous leadership based on the Brené Brown model. The program is priced individually — contact us to define the scope.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between executive coaching and mentoring?

Coaching focuses on discovery — the coach helps the leader arrive at their own answers through questions and reflection. Mentoring is about sharing experience and good practices. In the EITT program we combine both approaches, matching the proportions to the participant's goals.

Who is the 1:1 development program for?

For executives, directors and senior managers who need individual, confidential development support — especially during a period of role change, new challenges, or preparing for greater responsibility.

What does the program look like?

The program consists of three stages: diagnosis and goal setting, a series of regular 1:1 sessions (coaching and mentoring), and a summary with a plan for further development. The number and frequency of sessions are tailored individually.

How much does the executive coaching program cost?

The 1:1 development program is priced individually — depending on the number of sessions, format and scope of diagnosis. Contact us to define the scope and receive a quote tailored to your goals.

Do sessions take place on-site or online?

Sessions can take place on-site and online — depending on the participant's preferences. The format is agreed at the start of the program and can be flexibly adjusted.
