Our Transformational Coaching Approach to Vertical Development

The goal of our transformational coaching is to enhance self-awareness, connection and leadership effectiveness during a remarkable period in the world. These bespoke sessions provide an opportunity to work one-on-one with members of our transformational faculty on deeper development issues, including guiding others through turmoil, increasing organizational adaptive capacities, and managing strong emotional terrain evoked by the complex context we find ourselves in.

Transformational coaching helps senior leaders evolve mindsets to be future-ready.

As entirely personalized experiences, designed by each client and practitioner together, coaching is available as a discrete, stand-alone service or as a supplement to one of Mobius’ executive development programs. Extending the journey in this way, amplifies breakthroughs and crystallizes lessons from the transformational coaching sessions conducted during our programs.

Mobius Executive Coaching is informed by the advanced methodologies of our Senior Experts across the domains of adult development, brain science-led behavioral change, and the self-leadership method, Winning from Within.

Common outcomes include leaders who can:

  • Anchor in a personal sense of purpose and meaning-making
  • Evolve their emotional intelligence, authentic self-expression, and relational attunement
  • Foster inner resilience and pursue holistic health and energy management
  • Live their personal values, using these as a decision making compass
  • Elevate their cognitive flexibility, curiosity and the ability to work with divergent perspectives and life experiences
  • Cultivate maturity by supporting executives along Bob Kegan’s three stages of adult development
  • Support the strength of their eco-system
  • Build embodiment, presence and magnetism through somatic practices

Our Coaching Work Combines a Powerful Collection of Methodologies for Personal Growth and Professional Development

Winning from Within® – Using mythic archetypes to cultivate transformational leadership attributes, our coaches help senior leaders close critical performance gaps and address the hardest shifts in their developmental journey.

Adaptive Leadership – Our coaching engagements help leaders internalize evolutionary frameworks skills and tools needed to be future-ready and to audit the organization’s change agility.

Adult Development – We help executives move along the adult development spectrum from socialized mind to self-authoring mind which anchors leaders in their own purpose, meaning-making and values, and then, for the most mature and catalytic leadership approaches, onward to self-transforming mindsets.

Embodied Leadership – Our coaching engagements help executives increase their self-awareness beyond the cognitive domain, to gain somatic, embodied intelligence where deeper shifts lie – beyond what is possible from theoretical learning alone.

Cognitive Fluidity – Our approach promotes teaming and the ability to work with complex challenges – complementing logic with creativity and experimentation, demonstrating curiosity, adaptability and optimism about the future.

Complexity Theory – Mature transformational leadership requires rapid sense-making, keen powers of system observation, intuition, holding paradox and dancing with uncertainty. Our coaches are highly trained to build a leader’s complexity fitness.

More on Our Vertical Development Approach

Our coaching work integrates the self-leadership method Winning from Within® which uses archetypes and autobiography, targeting inner development for senior leaders to address key performance gaps or enduring developmental blocks.

The Winning from Within® framework enables executives to gain a broader range, choice, and fluidity within critical leadership capabilities for leading in uncertainty. Executives enhance both their profile-awareness (knowing which leadership facets are over- or under-developed) and state-awareness (spotting when they are knocked off balance and reactive; cultivating strategies for emotional self-management to re-center in high stakes settings). The Winning from Within framework cultivates emotional intelligence, mindfulness and a growth mindset. The methodology helps leaders to become future-ready through skill building and practical applications and by offering candid points of view, fostering inclusivity and cognitive adaptability; increasing creativity and disruptive thinking; promoting accountability and personal resilience; and driving deliberately developmental contexts for learning.
