COMMON QUESTIONS
ExecREADY
FAQs
How is ExecREADY different from Coaching?
Coaching is session-based, bookable on demand, and priced per session. ExecREADY is a 12-month program that combines executive coaching with the full Certificate in Applied Leadership pathway. It's designed to combine structured learning with workplace integration, so you apply it in your role as you go.
Why isn't pricing shown?
Investment depends on the coaching package you choose (Monthly or Quarterly), whether you enroll individually or as part of a group, and whether accepted equivalencies apply for programs you've already completed. It's shared transparently during the initial conversation.
When can I begin?
Individual start dates are confirmed during the initial conversation. Organizational cohorts set a shared start date that works for the group.
What if I've already completed some of the programs?
Accepted equivalencies apply. If you've already completed IGNITE, eLEAD, eCOACH, or an eFOCUS course, your ExecREADY plan accounts for what you've done, and your coaching and development work pick up from there. Leaders who have completed graduate studies or other advanced leadership development can also apply for course credit toward IGNITE and the eFOCUS course.
Can my organization sponsor ExecREADY for one of our leaders?
Yes, and it's a common arrangement. Many organizations enroll leaders in ExecREADY as part of succession planning or executive development. We can work directly with the leader, with the sponsor, or with both, whatever serves the work best.
Can groups enroll together?
Yes. ExecREADY is open to individuals and groups, and group pricing is available for cohorts. Cohorts move through the year together, with roundtables designed for the group. Contact us for details.
