Executive Coaching in Edmonton for Corporations
Too many priorities. Not enough production.
Edmonton corporate leaders own the outcomes that matter most: profitable growth, engaged teams, and sustainable competitive advantage.
You’re responsible for translating strategy into action, turning plans into results, and ensuring every initiative drives measurable value.
Your role demands accountability for revenue performance, operational efficiency, team development, and stakeholder satisfaction—all while navigating an increasingly complex business environment.
Our executive coaching program supports you with the tools you need to develop your skills, your team and your organization to move your company forward.
Why Focal Point Edmonton for executive coaching?

Executive leadership challenges we solve
- Leaders becoming decision bottlenecks instead of decision enablers
- Strategic priorities that shift weekly without clear communication or rationale
- Calendar overload with meetings that generate more meetings, not results
- Cross-functional breakdowns that create delays, errors, and customer impact
- Role confusion that creates overlap, gaps, and team frustration
- Repeated conflicts and change resistance that drain leadership energy
I have owned and scaled my own companies and I know it can feel like no one understands the struggle you face. I’ve been there and I can help.

How executive coaching works for Edmonton leaders
Step 1: We Listen
We know you’re the expert in your organization. We start every engagement by interviewing you to understand what’s working well and what needs to change.
Working alongside you, we map your decision-making processes, team dynamics, departmental interactions, leadership challenges, and organizational constraints.
Step 2: We Ask
Once we understand your current state, we help you gain clarity on your leadership vision.
We support you in setting specific performance goals, identifying capability gaps, and defining what success looks like for you and your teams.
Step 3: We Deliver
Now that we know where you are and where you want to be as a leader, we design a customized executive development plan with specific coaching objectives, clear deliverables, realistic timelines, and measurable leadership outcomes.
Step 4: We Arrive & Evaluate
One of the things that makes our executive coaching different is that programs always come with a defined end date from the very start.
No awkward “when are we done” conversations.
We design coaching engagements to help you accomplish your specific leadership goals, and we deliver.
When we reach the end of our agreement, we review progress together and decide what next steps, if any are needed.
Step 5: We Wait & Support
Upon completion of a successful program, like your other professional advisors, we go on “standby” mode. Available when you need us, but not driving up expenses.
Some executives enjoy our optional quarterly support program where we schedule periodic sessions to provide ongoing accountability and guidance as you continue developing your leadership capabilities.

A common delegation scenario
The Problems
- A regional manufacturing company’s leadership team is drowning in daily operational decisions while important strategic initiatives have lost all momentum.
- The VP of Operations spends most days resolving issues that department supervisors should have handled weeks ago.
- The weekly leadership meeting often stretches to three hours and still struggles to produce actionable outcomes.
The Solutions
- Through working with an executive coach, the VP benefits from an external perspective, learns new approaches to delegation, empowers his managers with clear decision authorities and begins coaching his team to use problem-solving frameworks independently.
- Department heads begin resolving routine issues independently, escalating only true exceptions.
- Leadership meetings transform into focused strategy sessions with defined agendas and follow-up accountability leaving time to move important strategic initiatives forward.
The Results
- Within months, the VP reclaims significant time for strategic planning, department supervisors gain confidence in their decision-making abilities, and the entire organization operates more smoothly.
- Projects move faster, communication improves across functions, and the leadership team can focus on growth opportunities instead of constant firefighting.
- The VP has helped to create a more resilient organization where leadership capacity matches business demands, and strategic vision can actually be executed consistently.
I will help you discover opportunities for change and improvement, and help develop an action plan that will grow with you and your company.
