Executive Coaching
Focus on your management and enhance your performance
Executive coaching is a personal and focused professional discussion that enables you to realise your potential, focus your management and enhance your performance. This means that the coaching process helps and inspires you to reflect on your own experiences as a point of departure for exploring opportunities for action about problems and challenges in your working life. Summit has several experienced coaches with an educational background in business psychology, and extensive experience in coaching managers and employees from both public and private organisations.
Benefits of coaching
We adapt the coaching process to your needs
As a general rule, executive coaching consists of a series of “one-on-one” meetings between you and a coach from Summit. Coaching can also be combined with, for example, a Hogan assessment, observations about the organisation, 360-degree tests and anchoring talks with your manager. The result of coaching is personal and leadership development based on your specific strengths, challenges, opportunities and needs. A coaching process can, for example, be based on:
Boosting your impact and communication skills
Enabling you to help employees be more motivated and perform better
We deliver quality
Every time we start a new coaching process with a client, we adapt to their specific needs and draw on our significant experience from previous processes in major private and public organisations. The quality of Summit’s coaching is therefore built on a high level of expertise in psychology and an experience-based approach.
“Summit offers managers a conversation partner who excels in being their loyal challenger. I chose a number of conversation rooms over a long period of time. They have given me some important stop-up points on a busy day. They do much more than help me refuel; rather, it is about building one’s self-leadership skills that grow stronger and stronger. Well-known phenomena such as powerlessness, pangs of conscience and doubts turn into natural ‘clothing’, and you learn how they can promote – rather than prevent – action.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Here you can find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
Executive coaching is a structured one-to-one development process that helps leaders strengthen performance, decision-making and leadership impact.
Coaching is designed to strengthen a leader’s ability to lead by building strategic self-awareness, enhancing self-leadership and enabling real behavioural change. We combine reflection with action to ensure insights translate into tangible impact for the individual and thereby the business.
Coaching is particularly valuable when leaders face strategic challenges, transitions, increased responsibility or the need to shift behaviour. It provides a confidential space to reflect, challenge assumptions and develop practical ways to lead themselves, their teams and the business more effectively.
With Summit, a coaching process typically consists of a series of one-to-one sessions with one of our coaches. The approach begins with clarifying context and expectations, followed by deep reflection on the leader’s current situation. From here, we uncover strengths, values and potential roadblocks. The process then focuses on translating insights into new behaviours, gaining actionable tools and progressing leadership capabilities.
The length varies depending on the scope and objectives. Some leaders benefit from a short, focused series of sessions, while others engage in a longer process over several months.
Our coaches have backgrounds in business psychology and extensive experience working with leaders and organisations across both the public and private sectors. They combine psychological insight with a practical understanding of organisational life.
We take a scientifically validated, evidence-driven and human-centred approach, often integrating tools such as Hogan Assessments to provide deeper insight into strengths, risks and drivers that influence leadership effectiveness.
Coaching supports personal and leadership development grounded in your specific strengths, challenges and ambitions. Many leaders gain a stronger sense of direction, better tools for handling difficult situations and a clearer understanding of how their behaviour affects those around them.
