Transit Executive Coaching - 2 Month Package
Valid until November 2026
Just as a Marine Pilot guides a vessel safely through narrow channels, Transit Executive Coaching helps leaders navigate their most important professional
and personal journeys. This exclusive two-month package includes:

- Four confidential, one-hour coaching sessions
(twice monthly, online or in-person)
- Brief touch-base follow-ups between sessions
- Curated readings and resources tailored to your goals

Executive coaching is a proven catalyst for growth. As Harvard Business Review notes, “In the face of rapid, disruptive change, companies are realizing that managers can’t be expected to have all the answers… many firms are moving toward a coaching model in which leaders facilitate problem-solving and encourage development”. Grounded in the International Coaching Federation’s definition of coaching as “a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential,” Transit’s approach ensures that you set the destination—your coach helps you chart the course.

Your Certified Executive Coach is a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), bound by its highest professional and ethical standards.

This package is your opportunity to invest in clarity, confidence, and transformation—
an invaluable gift for yourself or a leader you admire.
