Bob has helped me work through difficult situations where I was finding it hard to organize my thoughts and define the correct next steps. Bob has an uncanny ability to find the right questions to help me analyze a situation and convert a complex issue into a clear problem statement. I come out of meetings with Bob with a clear plan to take on complex high-stakes situations. “

EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP COACHING
Coaching is an immersive, confidential, supportive, and growth-oriented relationship focused on the executive leader. The relationship is marked by self-reflection where the coach provides the informed questions, and the client explores options, possibilities, and approaches from within. In the Executive Leadership Coaching relationship the coach and client are equals and create a trusting relationship that will yield the greatest results.
​
At Axion the focus is on the client’s growth and empowerment to achieve identified leadership goals. The Axion coaching relationship is ideally no less than 6 months, to ensure sustained transformation within the leader.
​
Axion specializes in working with leaders in these situations:
-
Senior Military Officers transitioning to a civilian organization
-
A President / General Manager with P&L responsibility of a plant or division within a large organization
-
A business owner seeking to scale up operations or to strengthen their leadership team
-
Executive leaders reporting to a CEO, CFO or COO
-
Leader transitioning from a public corporation to a private equity backed business
-
Developing next generation leaders in high potential or top talent programs
HIGH POTENTIAL
LEADERSHIP COACHING
This service will mimic the approach of Executive Leadership Coaching. The distinction is primarily the seniority or role of the client. Many organizations recognize development of top talent through high-potential programs may be accelerated through the engagement of a leadership coach.
Axion will ensure this engagement is aligned with the organization’s internal talent development initiatives.
Through High Potential Leadership Coaching Axion will elevate the next generation of leaders for your organization.
This coaching service is applicable for clients in a high potential or top talent program. Illustrative use cases include:

An executive leader seeking to accelerate the development of a high potential leader on their team

A senior leader who is developing junior leaders included in their succession plan
-
The President or General Manager of business, division or plant who engages a coach to hone the leadership skills of key team members
-
Small and medium-size business owners who have a team member(s) with potential to take on more responsibility for the organization, which will enable the owner to share the management responsibilities
-
A private equity firm investing in the next generation of leadership to accelerate the value creation in the business
-
A leader identified as a high potential who wants to maximize their chances for growth
LEADERSHIP BRANDING AND COMMUNICATIONS COACHING
Axion’s team will work directly with leaders on a plan designed to elevate the thought leadership profiles of those searching to identify the authenticity in their own story and translate that story effectively to internal and external audiences. This is for those seeking more meaningful communications and to move media focus from the what and why to the who and how.
​
This coaching service is applicable for clients in a CEO or senior leadership position. Typical uses cases include:
-
Newly appointed CEOs of start ups looking to emerge from stealth mode
-
CEOs and leadership looking to embark on significant fundraising efforts
-
Leaders who are being elevated internally from technical roles to CEO / COO / CSO / CIO positions
-
Senior leadership with backgrounds in non-applicable industries to their current role (credibility building)

Leaders with previous negative PR issues (lawsuits, company bankruptcies, departures)
-
Seasoned leaders who aspire to future high-profile positions and have a desire to build a strong personal thought-leadership public persona
NEW LEADER ASSIMILATION
This is a unique and powerful leadership opportunity. Using a structured process facilitated by an external agent, a new leader can accelerate their integration into the organization.
The Axion New Leader Assimilation (NLA) service enables the new leader to learn about their team while simultaneously enabling the organization to learn about the new leader. Unlike the coaching services, NLA is a short term engagement that can generally be accomplished in a 1-day workshop.
The goals of Axion NLA Coaching are to enable open communication, develop trust through transparency and set a foundation for successful outcomes.
The benefits of a New Leader Assimilation Coaching engagement generally include an accelerated integration of the new leader into the organization, more effective communication, enhanced trust and increased employee engagement and retention.
