Your leaders are navigating complexity, transition, and high-stakes environments. Executive coaching from Five creates measurable shifts in behaviour, resilience, and strategic impact — aligning individual growth with business outcomes across New Zealand.

Our coaching begins with clear alignment on purpose and outcomes, maintains confidentiality with accountability built in, and uses behavioural and mindset frameworks to measure progress. Whether supporting new leaders, experienced talent, or those in transition, we meet people where they are and help them move forward.

We offer two coaching streams: executive coaching for senior leaders (C-suite and senior executives) and coaching for high-potential talent (emerging leaders stepping into greater impact).

Each coaching engagement at Five follows a structured format designed to deliver real, measurable outcomes:

• Initial triad alignment meeting (coachee, coach, line manager) to agree on focus areas and intended outcomes
• Up to six 90-minute coaching sessions delivered in person or on MS Teams — flexible to your schedule
• Midpoint and final directional check-ins, typically including P&C/HR, with no breach of confidentiality
• Wrap-up reflections with recommendations to support ongoing development

All coaching is underpinned by Five's Values to Outcomes model, helping individuals link beliefs and behaviours to performance and measurable impact.

For senior leadership engagements, an ROI report documents coaching progress, outstanding areas where ongoing support is required, and value delivered to the individual, team, and organisation.

• Business-aligned growth: Individual development is linked directly to organisational strategy and outcomes — coaching at Five is a strategic investment, not a perk.
• Measurable behaviour change: Our Values to Outcomes model tracks shifts in beliefs, behaviours, and performance — so you can see the impact.
• Two coaching tiers: Executive coaching for senior leaders (C-suite) with Nick Mackeson-Smith, Sally Schmall, and James Kitney. Coaching for high-potential talent with Anna Kingston, Jo Workman, and Bex Grace.
• Flexibility built in: Sessions run in person or on MS Teams, with structured check-ins that keep everyone aligned without breaching confidentiality.
• Self-awareness, resilience, and capability: Coaching targets the mindset shifts and habits that create lasting change — not just short-term performance fixes.
