Belinda Block’s work with CEOs has spanned executive coaching, strategy facilitation, leadership team upgrades, and organization-wide change management. Specific engagements have included:
- Executive coaching for a CEO of a specialty insurance company — focused on enhancing executive presence, managing emotions more effectively, and upgrading the talent of the leadership team
- Strategy facilitation — designing and facilitating strategy meetings to create vision and mission for an organization, resulting in a shared understanding of purpose
- Change management training — designing and delivering change management training throughout an organization to support major transitions
- Organizational redesign — supporting senior teams through reorganization, structure shifts, and operating model changes
- Leadership team coaching — working with senior leadership teams on how they function as a unit, not just as individuals
- Talent identification — identifying top candidates for C-Suite roles using evidence-based methods including business simulations
- Engagement and 360 surveys — measuring leadership and team effectiveness to inform development
- Executive offsites and team building — designing and facilitating high-stakes leadership gatherings
The common thread across this work is that it addresses what only the CEO can address: how the top of the organization sets the tone, the strategy, and the example for everything below it. CEOs hire Belinda when they want both rigorous outside perspective and a confidential thinking partner who isn’t on the cap table or competing for their job.
For CEOs considering coaching, the starting point is a confidential discovery call. The goal is to determine whether the work would be useful for you and what shape an engagement should take.
