The client  

Chief Compliance Officer at a global media organisation    

The challenge  

Although passionate about their role and the company, they were unsure how to develop their position further. They sought coaching to reinvigorate their approach, broaden the scope of their role, leverage their professional experience, and increase their impact at senior levels.    

Coaching goals  

• Broaden the scope of the CCO role 

• Strengthen authority, presence, and influence 

Solution  

The coaching engagement ran from April to December, beginning with bi-weekly 90-minute sessions and moving to monthly meetings as progress was made. 

We focused on day-to-day challenges to remove blocks, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. Together, we: 

• Expanded the role strategically 

• Identified key relationships to develop 

• Anticipated potential challenges and pitfalls 

The client also planned regular, strategic trips to engage with stakeholders across the organisation, including international teams. 

Impact  

Following our work together, the client: 

• Saw a significant increase in confidence and purpose 

• Brought structure, scope and direction to their role, delivering greater value to the business 

• Strengthened their executive presence globally, building relationships across regions 

• Improved influence and engagement with the executive team 

• Earned direct recognition from senior stakeholders 

• Received positive feedback from peers
