Leadership & Executive Development (LED)

ICG’s LED is a leading Evidence-Based Executive Coaching practice, operating globally. Our powerful combination of experience and proven methodologies has been delivering exceptional results since 2003, enabling leaders, executives, managers and organisations to maximise their potential.

The cornerstone of Evidence-Based coaching is the systematic use of cutting-edge theory and proven research from the behavioural sciences, linked to evolving coaching best practice. It is a professional, outcome-focussed approach that delivers a measurable improvement in performance and leadership as well as supporting personal growth.

We deliver Evidence-Based executive and organisation development using frameworks that are powerful, accurate and effective. Our coaches are skilled at establishing strong relationships, enabling them to supportively challenge the perceptions, assumptions and habits of thought and behaviour that hinder performance and constrain leadership development.

At ICG, we employ only proven research-based assessment tools. Together with our mastery of development best practice and extensive hands-on experience means that every assignment is grounded in an accurate understanding of the individual, team or organisation.

We recruit highly credible senior executives with significant life experience and business acumen. Our coaches know what it is like to manage markets and perform in turbulent environments. They are professional, results driven and skilled at nurturing change.

ICG coaches enhance their existing life skills and business expertise with in depth, psychologically based training, plus ongoing professional supervision. We draw on a variety of disciplines and theoretical approaches that form our integrated multi-disciplinary approach. We take ownership of the supervision and ongoing professional development of our coaches, we stay connected with the current research and development of coaching literature and leadership theory.
