Successful Executives // Impactful Coaches
Our Method
A practical process designed to align development goals, uncover insight, and support meaningful growth.
Our Method
A coaching approach built around real progress
Our coaching methodology is designed to create alignment, uncover meaningful insight, and support behavioral growth over time. This process ensures development work is connected to the participant, the organization, and the leadership outcomes that matter most.
We guide leaders through three core phases: Align, Assess, and Grow.
Three Core Phases
Simple structure. Meaningful change.
- Align the coaching work to your organization’s goals and context
- Assess strengths and opportunities through data, dialogue, and reflection
- Grow through coaching, experimentation, and practical application
How It Works
Three phases that guide the development journey
Each phase builds on the last to create clarity, insight, and sustainable progress.
Align
We recognize the importance of having a common language for talent development and aligning with the talent strategy principles of our client companies.
- Partner with company stakeholders to align to your leadership language, competencies, and culture
- Evaluate which development tools best fit the needs of your organization
- Clarify any specific developmental needs for participants
- Match coaches with participants
Assess
Through dialogue and reflection, the coach and participant will identify both strengths and opportunities that will be addressed during the coaching engagement.
- Use industry accepted leadership assessments to evaluate your pipeline talent
- Collect additional relevant data to inform the coaching work
- Analyze, consolidate, and provide feedback to the participant
- Ensure alignment between participant, coach and development sponsor(s), and gain leadership support for the identified coaching goals
Grow
Where many development programs can be assessment heavy and insight light, BenchStrength Coaching® emphasizes what happens after the assessment. The coaching process occurs in a series of meetings, typically every other week.
- Co-create the development plan with the participant
- Coach for self-awareness and skill development through experimentation and practice
- Ensure progress is being made according to the development plan and recalibrate focus when needed
- Assess for growth and close the engagement with the participant and stakeholders

Why It Works
A process that connects insight to action
BenchStrength Coaching’s method is designed to ensure development doesn’t stop at awareness. By aligning to business context, assessing meaningful strengths and opportunities, and coaching for growth over time, the process helps leaders apply learning where it matters most.
The result is a development experience that is grounded, practical, and built to create measurable behavioral progress.
