One-to-one coaching
A confidential series of sessions with a sitting or incoming executive. Cadence and length are agreed up front.
The work
A menu of conversations, not a claim of results
Offered
Role transitions
The first stretch in a new C-suite seat: stakeholders, decision rights, and what to stop. Not outplacement.
Offered
Sounding board
A scheduled place to think aloud before a board, an investor meeting, or a difficult internal call.
Insights
Notes on the seat, not case studies

What executive coaching is — and is not
A plain description of one-to-one executive coaching. Not a case study.

A brief you can actually keep
A coaching brief is three answers written down. If you cannot keep them, you do not yet have a brief — you have a mood.

Alignment usually means someone has gone quiet
When an executive team says it is aligned, I look for the person who stopped arguing. Silence is not a strategy.
The agency
Chief Executives is a booking agency for C-suite coaching. The work is one-to-one: a sitting or incoming executive, a confidential conversation, and a defined stretch of work.
This site presents coaches you can enquire to book. It does not list clients, quote testimonials, or display logos. Those belong in a private conversation, not on a homepage.
Who it is for
Chief executives, incoming C-suite operators, and senior leaders who want a coach rather than a consultant with a slide deck. If you need a vendor to run a transformation programme, this is the wrong door.
How the work is framed
Coaching here is a series of confidential sessions. The coach does not take a seat on the executive team and does not publish outcomes. Scope, cadence, and fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
Next step
Read how coaching is offered, meet the coaches, then enquire to book. Linus Murphy’s biography is on the about page.

A confidential first conversation
Say who you are, the seat you hold, and the kind of work you want. Fees and fit are agreed in writing — they are not published here.
