(1) Monthly group coaching.

These sessions bring employees together for a scaled executive coaching experience.

  • Monthly, participatory group calls hosted by PILOT Coach build energy and excitement

  • Synchronous touchpoint balances asynchronous activities

  • Call recordings are shared afterward with recap of key takeaways

Our team of diverse hosts, producers, and coaches provide expert, external perspectives that spark deeper learning.

(2) Weekly individual reflection.

Activities delivered directly to inboxes, for a brief moment of development even in the midst of a busy work day.

  • Simple, mobile-friendly survey that takes less than 10 minutes to complete—any time, anywhere.

  • Emails with reminders, positive reinforcement, and coaching notes keep employees on track and engaged

We challenge employees with thought-provoking questions that distill the value of more traditional homework assignments without the sense of burden.
