- We hire seasoned coaches who have between 10 and 25 years of experience and bring a sophisticated comprehension of business and organizational culture.
- As one of the few independent organizational psychology firms of our size, we have sufficient scale to provide you with the highest level of service, including data analytics and top-notch project management, yet we are small enough to ensure that every client gets focused, individualized attention.

Edge Coaching
Edge Coaching is for leaders currently in or transitioning into enterprise roles (typically one to three levels below the C-suite). As leaders ascend, the complexity of their roles, the scope of their responsibilities, and the challenges and obstacles to success increase. Edge Coaching provides support to leaders who are navigating these complexities and striving to grow in their capabilities and impact.
Outcomes and purpose:
Coaching at the C-1 to C-3 levels is most commonly leveraged for two reasons – to enhance performance and to aid a leader in transitioning into new roles.
Performance Coaching: We coach executives to enhance their overall performance and impact.
Integration Coaching: We help executives who are transitioning into new leadership roles and contexts (e.g., internal promotions or external hires).

Integration coaching (for both new-hire leaders and internal transfers) is a crucial onboarding process best undertaken within the first few months.
That’s because 53% of leaders cite grappling with the complexity inherent in their new roles as a significant challenge, and 50% report difficulties in engaging their teams virtually.
Some 47% also struggle with internal company dynamics and organizational politics. And these leadership challenges cut across age, gender, ethnic, and racial demographics.
