ICF PCC ACTC Candidate The Unified Method

The format shifts to fit what you need. The depth never does.

Four structured ways to engage — for individual leaders, leadership teams, peer cohorts, and organizations. Each begins with a conversation designed to establish genuine fit before any commitment is made.

1:1 Executive Coaching

This is coaching for leaders who are ready to go deeper than their circumstances. The presenting challenge is the starting point — the real work is what sits underneath it. Holistic in scope, laser-focused in method, and grounded in positive psychology and real assessment data, these engagements are built around what you actually need to shift — not a generic development curriculum.

WHAT IT COVERS

  • Leadership identity, presence, and executive self-awareness
  • Decision-making and clarity under sustained pressure
  • Emotional intelligence and high-stakes communication
  • Career and leadership transitions
  • Navigating organizational complexity, change, and competing demands

HOW IT WORKS

  1. 30-minute discovery call at no cost, to assess genuine fit
  2. 3-month minimum engagement
  3. Bi-weekly 60-minute sessions
  4. Assessment debrief woven in (your tool, or a recommendation based on your goals)
  5. Schedule built around your availability; morning hours protected
"Julian does an excellent job of distilling what I communicate into clear concepts, and challenges my thinking in ways that I genuinely appreciate."

Group Coaching

Group coaching delivers something 1:1 work cannot: the recognition that what you are navigating, others are navigating too. The peer dynamic creates shared accountability, diverse perspective, and breakthroughs that come from being genuinely seen by colleagues rather than a single coach. Delivered using a rigorous business school group coaching methodology and positive psychology, and proven at scale across Cornell, Yale SOM, MIT Sloan, Wharton, and Columbia via ExecOnline and Emeritus.

WHAT IT COVERS

  • Peer cohort coaching for leadership peer groups and cross-functional leaders
  • Emerging leader and high-potential programs
  • Executive education-style group facilitation grounded in positive psychology
  • 6–12 week structured programs with clear development objectives

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Cohort of 4–12 participants
  2. Weekly or bi-weekly 60–90 minute sessions
  3. Individual debrief touchpoints included
  4. Pre and post assessment optional
"The program has been going very well. What I appreciate most is the way Julian communicates succinctly what participants have said. He has a gift for clarifying what is really being expressed — and that changes the quality of the conversation."

Team Coaching

Team coaching addresses what individual coaching cannot: the patterns that live between people. Trust gaps, accountability breakdowns, communication that never quite lands, decision-making that stalls — these are team-level dynamics that require team-level intervention. Delivered with ICF ACTC-level team coaching competency and combined with individual touchpoints for the leaders who need them.

WHAT IT COVERS

  • Team trust, alignment, and collective accountability
  • Communication patterns and productive conflict
  • Shared leadership and decision-making clarity under pressure
  • Performance culture and organizational change navigation
  • 60–90 day structured engagement

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Team diagnostic assessment and scoping session first
  2. Full-team facilitated sessions (bi-weekly)
  3. Individual coaching touchpoints woven in
  4. Post-engagement debrief and forward roadmap
"Julian brings real insight to each person's contributions in a group setting — in a way that keeps the conversation alive and everyone genuinely engaged. A rewarding experience, and one I would recommend without hesitation."

Building leadership capability at scale starts with a scoping conversation, not a sales pitch.

If you are an HR, L&D, or People leader evaluating coaching programs for your organization, here is what that engagement looks like.

What organizations typically bring

Cohort development

A leadership cohort that needs intentional development — emerging leaders, high-potentials, a VP-level group in transition, or a peer group that needs to function as more than colleagues.

Team performance

A leadership team or functional team that is underperforming relative to its talent — where trust, alignment, or accountability gaps are costing more than the organization is acknowledging.

Culture investment

An organization that is scaling and wants to build a coaching culture deliberately rather than accidentally — before the gaps compound.

What your organization gets

The cost of unresolved leadership gaps compounds. A VP-level leader operating below their potential, a team unable to align under pressure, or a cohort of emerging leaders without structured development — each of these has a measurable cost that far exceeds the investment in addressing it. Organizations that build deliberately, before it becomes urgent, get the better return.

The tool follows the coaching objective, not the other way around.

Debrief as development

Assessment data is the starting point. The real work is how it gets explored and translated into a development plan that moves something.

Bring your tool

If your organization already uses a specific assessment, the engagement can incorporate and build on it.

This coaching is not for everyone. That is intentional.

It is not for leaders who want to be validated rather than challenged. Not for organizations buying a development program to mark a calendar item as complete. Not for anyone in acute crisis who needs clinical or therapeutic support — that is different, important work, and there are better resources for it than coaching. Not for leaders who want a consultant to arrive with the answers.

This work operates by drawing out what is already in the leader — the clarity, the capability, the direction — and building what needs to be built from there. It requires honesty, investment, and the willingness to be genuinely challenged.

If that is where you are, this is built for you.
