Fewer than 1% of coach applicants are accepted

Senior leaders get promoted, hired in, or handed more scope with little one-on-one support. Workshops rarely change how an executive leads. The cost shows up in slower decisions, a thin succession bench, and strong people who leave.

What leaders build

Six capabilities that decide who leads next

Every program is built around the inflection points leaders face and what holds them back at each level.

Executive presence

Leaders learn to hold a board meeting, a skip-level, or a cross-functional pitch with calm authority.

Strategic thinking

Leaders build the mental models to anticipate what's coming and make better decisions under pressure.

People leadership

Delivering feedback, running performance conversations, building high-trust teams, and developing the next layer of talent beneath them.

Communication & influence

Persuasive upward, clear downward, collaborative laterally. The communication that earns trust from a board, a peer group and a whole organization.

Leading in ambiguity

How to lead decisively when the roadmap is unclear, managing their own anxiety as well as their team's need for direction.

Business acumen

P&L literacy, organizational influence, cross-functional partnership. The business fluency that earns credibility at the director and VP level.

Program formats

The right structure for your scale and goals

Start with one leader or a whole cohort. There is no minimum.

  • Coach matching within 24 hours: leaders are matched to coaches by function, industry, seniority, and goals
  • Program delivery: 1:1 sessions or cohort workshops over 3 to 6 months, with milestone check-ins
  • Progress reporting: HR sees participation, milestones and program-level progress; session content stays confidential

Starting is simple

  • No minimum number of leaders
  • Each leader matched within 24 hours
  • From $500 per leader per month
  • Rematch at no cost if a fit isn't right
100% satisfaction guarantee

Every coaching engagement is backed by our full refund guarantee within 48 hours of the first session. If a match isn't working, we fix it.

Confidentiality and data

Private for the leader. Visible where HR needs it.

Sessions stay private

What a leader says in a session stays between the leader and the coach. We never share session notes, recordings or summaries with the employer.

What HR sees

Participation, milestone completion and program-level progress, plus any goals a leader chooses to share. Enough to run the program and see that it is working.

Data we keep

Only what the program needs: name, work email, role and development goals. We do not sell personal information, and you can ask us to delete program data when it ends.

Independent coaches

Coaches work with your leaders through Realign and have no reporting line into your company, so leaders can speak openly.

Who it's for

The leaders who need this most

These programs are for the people your organization can't afford to lose.

Executives and senior leaders

VPs and C-suite leaders taking on more scope, a turnaround, or a board-facing role, who need a sounding board outside the org chart.

New executives in their first 90 days

High-profile hires or internal promotions who need to establish credibility and build a coalition fast.

Directors moving into VP and executive roles

The step from running a function to shaping the business is where strong leaders stall. Coaching makes the transition stick.

High-potentials in your succession plan

The people you are counting on for the next layer of leadership, who could be hired away with a bigger title if they don't see a path.

Organizational outcomes

A stronger pipeline. Higher retention.

Leaders who grow stay, and leaders who stay develop the next layer.

  • Keep high-potentials who might otherwise leave for a title bump elsewhere
  • Reduce the cost and risk of promoting leaders who aren't ready
  • Build a deeper director and VP bench internally instead of through expensive external hires
  • Stronger leadership across the senior team, and the teams that report to it
  • Make a visible investment in your top talent
Common questions

What HR and L&D leaders ask

How fast can we start?

Each leader is matched with a coach within 24 hours. You choose when the program begins, and the first sessions are scheduled around your leaders' calendars.

What does it cost?

1:1 leadership coaching starts at $500 per leader per month, and there is no minimum number of leaders. Cohort programs are priced to the size of the group. We will give you a number on the call.

Can we start with one leader or a small pilot?

Yes. There is no minimum. Many teams start with one leader or a small group and expand once they see the results.

How long does a typical leadership development program run?

Most programs run 3 to 6 months. Cohort programs follow a structured curriculum over that period, while 1:1 engagements can be extended based on goals and progress. We'll help you design a timeline that fits your talent cycle.

How are coaches matched to our leaders?

Each leader is matched within 24 hours based on function, industry, level, and development goals. Every Realign coach has been through a rigorous vetting process: fewer than 1% of applicants are accepted.

Can the program be tailored to our competency framework?

Yes. We work with your L&D or HR team to align the program to your internal leadership model, values, or specific capability gaps you've identified through performance reviews or 360s.

Is the coaching confidential?

Yes. Session content stays between the leader and the coach. HR sees participation, milestone completion and program-level progress, plus any goals a leader chooses to share. We do not sell personal information. Read our privacy policy.

What if a leader isn't getting what they need from their coach?

We'll rematch at no additional cost, without awkward conversations. If a leader needs a different style or fit, we'll make it right, backed by the same 100% satisfaction guarantee that covers all Realign programs.
