About Us

Our purpose is to help our clients work more smartly when it comes to coaching provision and we do this by:

  • providing a gateway to our global network of 200+ professional coaches that we have built up over many years, all adhering to our strict eligibility criteria.
  • personally matching 1-3 coaches that are ‘best fit’ for each 1:1 assignment.
  • ensuring coaching success criteria are in place before any programme commences.
  • tailoring each coaching programme to maximise the effective outcome.

Our clients include global FTSE listed organisations, along with start ups, third sector institutions – in both the private and public sectors.

Finding great coaches is becoming more and more challenging as the market becomes flooded with coaches. We handpick coaches with strong corporate careers, who have a track record of successfully coaching senior leaders and the executive presence and intellect to sit around the table as an equal.

Approach

We Listen

Every brief is different. We seek to understand the context (for both the coachee and the organisation), along with desired outcomes, level of internal support and of course, your budget.

We Match

We go through a rigorous matching process, personally identifying 2-3 coaches who we feel best match the brief and will therefore deliver optimal success.

We Design

We tailor each coaching programme to ensure maximum success. All programmes involve a tripartite and end review. Occasionally we might also recommend a 360 and / or psychometric assessment.

Emma Rooke

The Coaching Solution was founded by Selina Van Laere. Selina has worked in the coaching space for over 15 years with hundreds of global organisations. She has a stellar reputation for her knowledge of what kind of coach and coaching programme is needed and an international network of world class coaches.

“Finding great coaches is becoming more challenging. We handpick coaches with strong corporate careers, a track record of coaching senior leaders up to and including the Board, and with the executive presence and intellect to sit around the table as an equal”.

Selina is supported by Emma Rooke who looks after the operational delivery for all our clients. Emma has spent her career in client service. Working closely together they are the ‘dream team’.

At The Coaching Solution we don’t believe an executive coach is always the answer, we don’t believe all coaches are the same and we don’t believe all coaching programmes should be packaged the same.

Social Value Committment

Giving back is one of our key values and an incredibly important element of who we are and how we operate as a business.

As well as our own charity work and the good causes our coaches support, all of which are typically on a local footprint, we are delighted to have teamed up with Evertreen, a fantastic global charity that plants trees all over the world. The trees are planted directly by local farmers and bring environmental, social and economic benefits.

Evertreen are on a mission to transform the world, one tree at a time and we are pleased to do our bit to contribute to a healthier planet for our future generations by planting a tree for every coaching assignment.
