The Waterfront Way

Developing Executives to Thrive in the C-Suite and Beyond

Waterfront Partners is the leading coaching firm for CEOs and Executives as they prepare for, enter, and thrive in the C-Suite. 

Every C-suite transition creates uncertainty and raises the question:  Will I be successful this time around?  

A transition is an important career inflection point and an opportunity to examine assumptions, behaviours, and new paradigms for leadership success.  It is an excellent time to work with an executive coach. 

As your coach, we will ensure you are prepared for, and supported during your high stakes career transition.  We will help you to achieve results not through command, authority, and control, but by facilitating the highest and best contribution of your people throughout the organization.  And, we will connect you to your own sense of purpose, vision, and authentic leadership style.  

We have an executive coaching toolkit specifically for CEOs and up and coming CEOS that will set you up for success, and keep you focused on what matters most. 

We also offer a team approach which gives you access to expertise in CEO strategies, team and culture development, and board governance. And, we bring expertise in developing the leadership pipeline and CEO succession governance.  As CEO succession advisors we believe that business processes tend to be quite standardized, so the leadership differentiator is the culture and team you build, and who you are being as a leader when you focus on others.  Building a culture of leadership requires a win-win approach, respect, care, and a proactive strategy. 

As your coach, we are also advocates for your fulfillment.  We believe that having a coherent and healthy life is important for all leaders given the pressures and demands of the role, and how easy it is to lose site of what matters most.
