COACHING
Customized Executive Coaching
Let’s customize executive coaching strategies to propel your leadership growth into overdrive.
An Experienced Executive and an ICF Certified Coach in your Corner
Greg Pinks, Axiom’s Principal, brings a unique perspective — contributing at the boardroom table for over 25 years (much of it as a Vice President for publicly traded Canadian companies) AND is a Professional Certified Coach recognized by the International Coach Federation (ICF). No need to settle for a coach who hasn’t been there or isn’t ICF accredited.
The Axiom Results Model
Executives often want to ensure their most precious resource, time, drives results. Axiom’s coaching model ensures results if followed (yes, there’s always a catch!). It builds on some of the world’s best programs*.
- “Business Results” – Clearly define and articulate the business result in the format ‘from x to y by when’.
- “Team Interactions” – Identify how the team needs to work to achieve the above results.
- “Leader Behaviours” – Identify how you must work to support the team as you aim for Business Results. These behaviours become the focus of our coaching conversations.
- Add “Active Questions” – Daily or weekly questions aligning with Leader Behaviours. These are observable behaviours for continual self-rating to i) ensure focus, ii) promote self-reflection, iii) track progress, and iv) foster accountability.
Executive Coaching Program
Axiom’s program focuses on fostering leadership growth, understanding key goals, identifying alternate approaches, and creating measurable outcomes over a defined period. Accordingly, our integrated approach:
- Focuses on achieving and solidifying 6-month leadership goals.
- Utilizes peer or organizational feedback, and/or personal assessments to understand leadership strengths and communication style.
- Creates a custom plan – a roadmap to your goals.
- Discovers and refines new leadership skills.
- Resolves situational roadblocks along the way.
Executive coaching programs, lasting 6–9 months, consist of 4 stages:
- Assessment and Strengths Identification
- Strategies and Action Planning
- 1:1 Coaching, Accountability, and Support
- Sustain & Anchor

Axiom’s coaching programs easily integrate into broader leadership development programs or can stand alone. These can be conducted in-person, over the phone, or virtually – it’s up to you.
* Axiom’s model is built on foundations provided by Mary Beth O’Neill (Executive Coaching with Backbone and Heart), Roger Connors and Tom Smith (Change the Culture, Change the Game), and Marshall Goldsmith (Triggers).
