The Real Challenge

Your strongest leaders reach a point where raw talent isn’t enough.

Corporate coaching helps HR and L&D teams develop high performers who hit a ceiling. The next level demands executive communication, enterprise thinking, and organizational awareness at altitude. As the L&D or people leader, developing them is your mandate.

Succession & bench
Next-tier leaders must be ready before the seat opens.
Promotion readiness
Turning today's strong performer into tomorrow's enterprise leader, on purpose.
One layer, one standard
Developing senior leaders together so the whole tier runs from one playbook.
How We Work

The Altitude Framework, delivered as a program you can budget and measure.

Stratos Coaching provides executive coaching for Directors, VPs, SVPs, and C-suite executives, delivered by current and former C-suite leaders with 25+ years of experience. Every corporate coaching program runs on The Altitude Framework. We baseline each leader, define where the business needs them, and build a cadence that turns insight into changed behavior.

Assessment & baseline
A DISC or 360° assessment sets each leader's baseline, and the program's outcomes are defined before it starts.
Structured delivery
1:1, cohort, or team sessions on a set cadence, worked against real situations: the reorg, the board, the cross-functional fight.
Practice on the job
New behavior is tried where it counts, then debriefed. Practice, not knowledge, changes what leaders do and how they perform.
Measured outcomes
Midpoint and close reviews against baseline, mapped to L&D reporting: promotion readiness, succession depth, and development KPIs.

Want this mapped to your cohort?

Thirty minutes is enough to scope the group, outcomes, cadence, and proof of impact.

Proof

Coaches who’ve sat in the seat — and the leaders you are developing feel the difference.

Your leaders work with a coach who has held an enterprise role at or above their altitude and can pressure-test their thinking.

“I was six weeks into the SVP role and still running my old job. My coach helped me see that the problem wasn’t workload — it was that I hadn’t built an operating model for the new altitude. Within two months, I had a completely different relationship with my time and my team.”
SVP of Engineering
“Two review cycles in a row, the feedback was ‘lacks executive presence.’ Vague and frustrating. Stratos Coaching broke it down into specific, observable behaviors I could actually work on. My CEO noticed the shift before I did.”
VP of Product
“I don’t use my coach for crises. I use them as a strategic thought partner. Before board meetings, before difficult conversations, before the decisions that don’t have clear answers. It’s the highest-value relationship in my professional life.”
Chief Operating Officer
Engagement Formats

Scoped to the leaders you are developing — and the outcomes you own.

Programs are scoped to your leaders and outcomes. Three common shapes:

Annual L&D Partnership
One contract and one invoice: 1:1 or cohort coaching for a defined group across the year, with reportable outcomes.
Cohort Program
Develop a layer of leaders together with a shared framework, so the whole tier levels up at once.
1:1 for Key Leaders
Executive coaching for your highest-leverage people: a new SVP, a first-time C-suite hire, a succession bet.

Company-sponsored programs are custom-priced to the cohort and the outcomes, quoted in one 30-minute call. See industry ranges in our cost of executive coaching guide.

What are corporate executive coaching programs?

Corporate coaching programs at Stratos Coaching give HR, L&D, and talent teams a structured way to develop VP, SVP, and C-suite leaders. Programs fit each leader’s altitude transition and include reporting that respects 1:1 confidentiality. The goal: protect the promotion bet and cut the 40%+ executive-transition failure rate.

Why Stratos Coaching

Executive coaching built for the enterprise.

Many providers assign coaches who have never held an executive role. Our certified executive coaches have sat in VP, SVP, and C-suite seats at enterprise companies.

We focus on altitude transitions: Director to VP, VP to SVP, and first-time C-suite. Expect measurable outcomes, flexible structures, and progress reporting your talent team can see, without compromising the confidentiality of what the leader shares in session.

Common Questions

What do HR and L&D leaders ask before starting a program?

How are corporate coaching programs structured?

Stratos Coaching offers three programs: Leadership Development for high-potential VPs and SVPs, Executive Transitions for newly promoted or hired executives, and High-Potential Acceleration for Directors preparing for VP roles. Each is designed around your challenges, with structure, cadence, and focus set in a tailored proposal.

How many leaders can be included in a program?

Programs serve VP, SVP, and C-suite leaders, where development is individual and generic programs do not transfer. Each leader gets a coach who has operated at their level, individual goals, stakeholder input, and a baseline assessment. Scope and scheduling are coordinated with your HR or L&D team.

How is the success of a corporate coaching program measured?

Success metrics are defined in every proposal. Progress reports track behavior change, stakeholder perception, and business impact while protecting confidentiality. Typical engagements run 3 to 12 months, with quarterly reporting to sponsors.

How do we get started with a corporate coaching program?

It starts with a discovery call about your challenges, the leaders who would benefit, and where coaching will matter most. You receive a detailed proposal (structure, cadence, and success metrics) within 48 hours. Engagements typically begin within two weeks of approval.

Who you will be working with

Every Stratos Coaching engagement is led by a former C-suite or SVP operator with 25+ years of enterprise leadership experience. Each coach holds the Certified Executive Coach (CEC) credential and has sat on the other side of the promotion decision.

There is no associate handoff and no rotating roster. The coach you meet on the complimentary altitude call coaches you from the first session to the last.
