Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common inquiries about our executive coaching services
What is executive coaching and
who benefits from it?
Executive coaching is a
collaborative partnership aimed at
enhancing leadership effectiveness,
decision-making, and interpersonal
influence. Senior leaders, emerging
executives, and high-potential
professionals engage with coaches to
gain clarity on goals, develop
adaptive strategies, and accelerate
personal and organizational impact.
How does Sefivion’s coaching
process work?
Our process begins with an in-depth
intake assessment to identify
strengths, gaps, and objectives. We
then co-create a tailored
development plan, employing
one-on-one sessions, practical
exercises, and progress checks.
Continuous feedback ensures
alignment with evolving goals and
real-world priorities.
How do I get started with
Sefivion’s coaching
programs?
Executive coaching is a
collaborative partnership between a
senior leader and a professional
coach aimed at enhancing leadership
practices, self-awareness, and
strategic decision making. Through
structured conversations, targeted
assessments, and real-world
application, the process helps
executives identify and develop
strengths, address blind spots, and
align daily actions with long-term
goals.
What is the typical duration of
an executive coaching
engagement?
Most coaching engagements span three
to six months, with regular sessions
held weekly or biweekly. This
timeline allows enough time to
introduce new behaviors, reflect on
outcomes, and adjust approaches
before moving on to the next
development goal.
How is progress tracked during
the coaching process?
Progress is monitored using
agreed-upon indicators such as
leadership self-assessments, 360°
feedback summaries, and milestone
reviews. Coaches work with
executives to reflect on real-world
challenges, track improvements, and
make data-informed adjustments to
the plan.
Can coaching be delivered
remotely or on-site?
Both remote and on-site formats are
available. Virtual sessions take
place via secure video conferencing,
while in-person meetings can be
arranged at your office in Ottawa or
at our facility at 24 Sussex Drive,
Ottawa, ON K1M 1M4.
Is the coaching process
confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a
foundational principle. All
discussions, assessments, and
documentation remain strictly
between the executive and the coach,
ensuring a safe environment for open
exploration and honest reflection.
How are Sefivion coaches
selected?
Our coaches are chosen based on a

studies to reflect the nuances of
your sector, whether you lead in
technology, public service,
healthcare, or another field.
