Executive Coaching + Pivotal Moments Coaching

1. Executive and Leadership Coaching 

Threshold Allies has coached hundreds of executives and rising leaders in Singapore and Silicon Valley. An optimal period to receive coaching is when executives and rising leaders are at inflection points in their careers. You need to grow in skills, competencies and confidence to make a successful transition. Receiving top-notch support to make this transition is beneficial both for the company, and for the individual. Scenarios we have supported include but are not limited to:  

• Growing into a role: Taking on larger portfolios and teams, C-suite transitions

• Effectively responding to feedback from senior management or clients 

• Effectively responding to major life changes that can influence work performance 

• Supporting leaders and their companies in smooth transition out of roles  

We coach executives and rising leaders in 3-month intervals. From our experience, at least 3 months of coaching provides momentum to learn and implement new skills and competencies. After 3 months, coachees and employers have the option to renew on a 3-month basis.

• Overall goal setting for professional, personal and team growth across six sessions. 

• Six one-on-one, one-hour coaching sessions, spaced two weeks apart with flexibility. 

• Email exchange with a 48-hour response time. This enables continual support in between coaching sessions. Tactical issues are tackled over email such as preparing for crucial conversations, brainstorming pathways and getting feedback on proposed communications. 

The cost of the 3-month individual coaching package is USD$3,000. We have seen many successful payment models:

• Fully employer-sponsored 

• Co-payment between individual and employer 

• Paid out of pocket by individual

"Karen is practical and wise. In interview prep, she immediately "got me", helping me speak clearly about the match between my experience and the role with confidence, conviction, and solid proof points.  I went from feeling intimidated about what I lacked, to encouraged and empowered through the interview process with OpenAI." -- Client currently in OpenAI

My coaching sessions with Karen gave me courage to start a new professional chapter. I started coaching with Karen at a time when I felt burnt out and looking for change. I was stuck in a role that I didn't see a long-term future for, but lacked the time, energy and emotional bandwidth to explore new opportunities. The issue I wanted to work through with Karen was figuring out next steps for the year ahead.

Karen was curious, empathetic and asked great questions to help me reflect on my situation. She took a holistic approach, engaging body, mind and spirit. Her sessions enabled me to listen to and trust what my body and emotions were telling me about what I needed and wanted from my next season. They also helped me to shift my posture toward the situation from stress and anxiety to curiosity and exploration.

Soon after we ended our coaching sessions, I was approached to consider a number of really great roles. Because of the coaching sessions, I was open to exploring organisations and roles that I might not have considered before, and felt empowered to negotiate terms that aligned with my values, strengths and long-term goals. -- Cheryl C, Country Head of Publicly Listed Company 

“Karen coached me at a juncture in my life where I was considering either taking up a postgraduate scholarship or taking time out to care for my then-newborn. My coaching conversations with Karen had a profound impact on my professional happiness as well as the wellbeing of my family in the past three years.” - Deborah L., Senior Government Leader

Team coaching  

CEOs and HR teams have brought us onboard for 3-6 months to support leadership teams in transition. We have coached each leadership member individually, aligned the leadership team strategically through executive retreats, mediated difficult conversations and elephants in the room, and supported leadership teams in launching alignment exercises e.g. Objectives and Key Results. 

As each leadership teams' needs are bespoke, we price this based on conversations and scoping with the CEO/key leader.

“Executive coaching with Threshold Allies gave me certainty and direction to lead authentically.” - Danny H, Director, Non Profit, San Francisco 

"What you taught me in our coaching sessions continues to have a huge impact on my life. One thing I feel is a sense of calmness – there’s been a breaking down of the boundary between what’s in my comfort zone and outside of it, and there’s the lightweight sense of being able to move seamlessly between the zones. There are often zero watertight reasons to not at least try. That has manifested in my recent career decisions and will impact my future decisions as well." - Zach C, Senior Technology Leader
