Coaching at- or on the path to- C-suite level is not an extension of regular practice; it's a different game with different rules. While coaching the C-suite is a common aspiration, the reality is that it demands a distinct toolkit, tempo, and tolerance for pressure.

In this candid session, Dr. Tanvi Gautam distills hard-won lessons from her coaching candidates for the C-suite as well as coaching executive leadership teams around the world. She will share some common recurring theme that leadership coaches get invited to address, where engagements can derail, and how to show up with calm authority where big titles often entail bigger personal and interpersonal dynamics that are not visible to the untrained eye. She will share practical tools that C-suite executives consistently appreciate, plus a simple routine to help coaches stay resourced and create momentum where it matters most in these high stake corridors.

Takeaways for the participants:

• Help understand the unspoken dynamics that exist in the C-suite
• Learn about the One-Minute Board Pitch that can help your coaching clients
• Decode power and pace using the Power–Motive Map to maintain influence without friction
• Speed up sound decisions (without churn) with the Decision Cadence Canvas
