Coach Selection Process
In order to deliver the most value to our clients and their companies, we believe that it’s critical that an executive chooses a coach whose style matches their personality—that’s why we encourage our clients to interview up to three of our coaches to guarantee the best fit.

The Arden Difference
The Power of the Arden Process
Selection
First things first: we set up an initial conversation to help determine the appropriate program for the executive, as well as set up interviews with the three coaches that are the best fit for their needs and goals. In this stage, we are looking to match the executive’s style with that of the coach to create a coaching relationship that delivers maximum results.
Work the Plan
With feedback from colleagues and a personalized development plan in place, the executive and the coach work through the strategy. They meet regularly to discuss challenges, best practices, and successes, with the coach helping the executive identify and understand their patterns, as well as focus on opportunities for improvement. At the midpoint of the partnership, we once again assess the executive’s progress through a meeting with their supervisor and course-correct, if needed. At the conclusion of the engagement, the executive, supervisor, and coach review the progress and identify any next steps necessary to continue the executive’s growth to ensure a long-term shift in behavior.
Alignment
At the start of each engagement, the coach, the executive, and their supervisor meet to determine the goals of the coaching. Because all of our executive coaching programs are results-driven, it’s critical to set appropriate goals and ensure that the executive, the supervisor, and the company can all realize the benefits of the coaching.
Assessment
When an executive enrolls in a program with the intent to change, measuring the ability and skill level at the outset is a critical first step in setting goals and building a plan to reach them. The coach will select from an array of assessments to select the tools best suited to help the executive gain insight into their unique style and potential areas for growth.
