Did you know that internationally, 40% of newly promoted managers, leaders, and executives fail within 18 months of starting their new positions? In dynamic locations like Dubai, which are known for their high quality of life and business prospects, taking on an executive position provides the framework for future professional growth.
However, transitioning to senior positions necessitates outstanding leadership abilities and autonomy. Many executives suffer owing to factors such as a lack of formal growth methods, inexperience, inefficient onboarding, and difficulties with cultural adaption, communication, and stress management.
Leadership coaching is a professional service which provides senior managers, CEOs or leaders within a business with a safe, structured, and trustworthy environment to get support in meeting the expectations of their job roles.
This is where a certified executive coach will help these leaders understand their current competencies, where they stand, and how they are perceived by others in the organisation, guide them in identifying their goals for the position, and suggest appropriate steps to reach them. An executive or business coach helps employees find the resources within themselves to create sustainable transformation towards career fulfilment. This makes it different from mentoring, consulting or training.
In other words, executive or leadership coaching is a service that helps higher management of a company, such as a director, vice president, president, or member of the C-suite, to play their part in a more effective, balanced and healthy way to be a successful leader.

Executive coaching is a personalised service provided to senior managers, CEOs, or corporate leaders to help them meet the requirements of their roles. Coaching, as opposed to mentoring, consulting, or training, aims to assist individuals in discovering their own resources and capacities for long-term transformation.
Executive coaching creates a safe, regulated, and trustworthy environment for leaders to improve their self-awareness, self-regulation, leadership abilities, decision-making skills, and overall effectiveness. It also helps with particular challenges including stress management, communication, and change adaptability.
Executive coaching can result in a variety of positive achievements, including increased self-awareness, motivation, confidence, leadership skills, organisational productivity, team empowerment, and a stronger company culture, among others.
Kompass Consultancy stands out as a trusted partner for leadership excellence, having supported over 10,000 people worldwide and collaborating with governments, big organisations, and top business schools. They provide personalised coaching plans delivered by ICF accredited executive coaches, based on individual requirements and industry-specific objectives, as well as coaching methodologies that have been tested and proven.
The executive coaching process at Kompass Consultancy begins with an initial consultation with a trained executive coach, which is followed by self-discovery, goal alignment, and evaluation. A personalised coaching programme is then created, together with continuing assistance and reflection to guarantee continual improvement and development.
“The energy that Leila brings into a room is powerful. During the nine months I worked with her, she consistently pushed me to think in new ways and evolve into a more confident and effective leader. Leila’s contagious passion has left a lasting impact, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking enduring personal and professional growth and transformation.”
“"I was fortunate enough for my employer to engage a coach for me and we both selected Leila. Leila is a warm and personable lady who supported me setting some areas to explore and goals to achieve during our time together and in between our sessions. My time was spent with Leila against a backdrop of the hospitality business recovering from Covid so a very challenging professional period but also the recent personal grief of losing both my parents in less than six months and my child suffering from crippling anxiety. I found my time with Leila of immense support as I was able to discuss some of my business challenges in a safe space and work through these which I may not have had the capacity to do with due to so much going on in my personal life as well. I was a real sceptic about the benefits of engaging a business coach but can endorse the support and progress I made with Leila
I engaged six sessions and post this time I use the learnings and skills to support me in my ongoing career and day to day work. I can recommend Leila if you are considering a coach with a very human side as well!”
