Impact

“I realized my role isn’t just to do things for the CEO, but ultimately run the team to meet broader strategic expectations. That’s been a tangible difference in the way I’ve operated. I’ve tackled larger initiatives and elevated my voice to weigh in on bigger topics. Working with my mentor has allowed me to be more reflective to make a bigger impact.”

Impact

We valued the fact that The ExCo Group knew our business and was thorough in understanding our strategy and what was required for the next leader. The process was comprehensive, yet completely relatable for our board. The entire board commented about the process, their engagement, and the clarity of the reporting which made the decision—which is always a difficult one—a lot easier. I would highly recommend The ExCo Group and would use them again any time for succession work.

Emerging Leaders Development

Best program my company has offered to date. The content was enjoyable and really practical. The coaching helped reinforce ideas and my coach worked with me to bring the content into my everyday work.

Enterprise Transformation

One of the biggest changes I made to the business is changing how I think about the role. I shifted from, ‘This is my job, and I need to accomplish these tasks,’ to setting up the systems, processes, and culture so others can accomplish the tasks.

Succession

It’s hard when you’re at this level. It’s a high-stakes game. I felt I could trust my mentor. I didn’t have to filter anything. I could just talk. Taking the time to get out of the swirl and think, talk, and ask questions was really important.

Assessment

The way The ExCo Group approached the assessment, and their perspective and triangulating what they’ve learned from their experience, was groundbreaking and eye-opening. It unlocked things that I’d been trying to break through for myself. The debrief was one of the most valuable meetings I’ve had as CEO. It managed to be emotional, commercial, and actionable. Truly meaningful.

High Performing Teams

Right from the way they interviewed things were different. You can tell how well they quickly understood our culture, and they asked questions that really got the whole team thinking. By the time we met as a team, mindsets were different. The work they do at this level is really special.

High Performing Teams

ExCo is unique in their approach. We were skeptical of bringing in outside facilitators. Past experiences have been marginal, but they pushed us to where we had new insights that led to some real progress. We left with outcomes we can measure and a much deeper, fundamental understanding of how each team member operates, and how we can best work together. They came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint

Senior Executive Development

“I have had a few coaches in my day, and I can clearly say she is the best I have ever had. She was insightful and challenged me to think differently. She brought great ideas, templates, and structure to our sessions and helped me develop in the areas I really needed to grow in to be successful. I would not be being promoted to VP without her guidance and incredible experience she shared and guided me with. The match was perfect, and I would recommend her to anyone needing a coach that really has a vested interest in understanding the client and helping them develop. I will be forever grateful for getting time and growing under her leadership.”

Senior Executive Development

“I’m operating as the CEO of a social networking company at the bleeding edge of what’s going on in the world…. I don’t think I need a lot of mentorship by Silicon Valley minds. This kind of raw, thoughtful, insightful, tested, pragmatic leadership that [The ExCo Group] brings from a completely outside perspective has been really valuable to me.”

Assessment

“The way The ExCo Group approached the assessment and their perspective and triangulating what they’ve learned from their experience was a really groundbreaking and eye-opening hour. It really unlocked a lot of things that I’ve been trying to break through for myself. It was one of the most valuable hours I’ve had in my tenure as CEO of the company. It was very valuable, meaningful, and emotional. It unlocked a ton of value.”
