The In-House Partnership Program Leads to Greater Success and a More Cohesive Team
Professional Coaching
The Partnership is coached, facilitated and guided by one of our highly acclaimed, internationally certified executive coaches. Each team discussion is coached and every member has one-to-one private coaching as well.
Connection around Leadership
The Partnership builds connections between teammates that lead to greater cohesion within the team and stronger more successful leadership of staff below you. The group coaching sessions bring a powerful focus to your team’s core leadership competencies.
Confidentiality
Partnership conversations are facilitated by our coaches who adhere to the ethical and confidential standards of the International Coach Federation. You can be comfortable and confident discussing any challenges or opportunities your team is facing.
Tools, Tactics and Tips
Membership in The Partnership provides you with access to libraries of leadership tools including worksheets, strategy tools, videos and webinars. Coaches will use individual tools where appropriate in meetings and bonus webinars will be available. ALL tools are available to your team in the library while you’re in the program.
Custom Focus and Commitment
Our Executive Coaches ensure Partnership meetings are kept focused on the key leadership questions and goals raised by your team as part of Leading Self, Leading Others and Leading the Organization. That commitment to a regularly scheduled, deep dive into leadership skills, opportunities and challenges brings enormous benefits.
Alumni
Partnership groups exist for teams and groups of leaders from throughout North America. As the number of cohorts grows and annual commitments renew, our community of alumni in The Partnership will constantly expand. Our alumni benefits will increase over time and starts with access to a wide network of peers in private, public and non-profit organizations.
Accountability
Most teams are held accountable by the leader. But, the strongest team have members who hold each other accountable to their commitments and goals. The Partnership helps your team degvelop that member to member commitment and accountability.
Extra Resources and Savings
The Partnership is an elite program offered by Padraig Coaching. As such, you have access to a wide range of resources as well as discounts on other Padraig leadership programs. Full details are provided below under the “What’s Included?” section.
Who should join this program?
The In-House Partnership is right for your team if all members of the team:
- lead or manage others in the workplace (or have recently and will again soon);
- have high regard for confidentiality;
- are open to learning from each other and an outside expert;
- have a commitment to mutual respect and the principle of helping others learn (rather than telling others what to do), and
- are willing to give of themselves, sharing their knowledge and their expertise;
- also want the enormous ongoing benefits of working with their own certified executive coach.
CHALLENGES OUR PARTICIPANTS WORK ON:
- The biggest leadership challenge I face is working with individuals as individuals. Whether they are employees or other stakeholders I get the best results when I understand who I‘m working with and I tailor my approach, but I find that challenging when I’m busy and stressed.
- When I was promoted to an executive role, I was presumed a leader and expected to demonstrate leadership excellence with no real experience and no training, and I feel like that is catching up to me.
- I see leadership as motivating and supporting myself, managing my staff, influencing my peers and contributing to the whole organization and it feels very lonely trying to lead in all directions.
- Confidence for me comes and goes. I can go for long stretches feeling in control, seeing what’s coming and planning and adapting to the upcoming tasks. But when I make mistakes, and we all do, I seem to lose the confidence as well as the abilities and tools I was using before.
- Trying to juggle my own priorities for the organization and everyone else’s to deliver expected results while finding the time to lead, coach and mentor along the way is exhausting.
- I don‘t know how to balance goals for the whole organization and expectations on me to achieve key results in my unit. We’re told the big goals are the important ones but my performance review always focuses on how well my staff achieved our unit’s goals.
What’s Included in The In-House Partnership?
- • Your Partnership group will be your work team so you can learn and grow with your first team in a safe, confidential, collaborative environment while being fully supported by a certified executive coach.

OK, So How Does This Work?
Our public Partnership Groups launch two to three times per year while our IN-HOUSE Partnerships can be launched as soon as you are ready. You will be given a choice of executive coach.
When you register your organization for the program each participant will tell us a bit about themselves (their current role and responsibilities, some of the challenges they would like to solve and the strengths you would like to capitalize on). This is all kept strictly confidential.
Participants will meet their colleagues (if not already known) and thei coach at the first session and immediately dive into group coaching around topics the team wishes to discuss.
Access to all online tools and other benefits begins immediately on launch date.
How Much Does The Partnership Cost?
Other high-value, peer groups charge between $10,000 – $18,000 per year per person for membership in one of these groups (often with up to 12 people participating)!
We know that’s out of reach for most leaders and certainly for full teams. We want to build community and support you to be strong, admired leaders operating in a cohesive team.
We have always believed our business has grown as successfully as it has because we have given our clients exceptional return on their investments with us – and they (you) have, in turn, repeated business with us and referred us to friends, colleagues and allies.
That has served us, and you, very well for 8 years so we’re not about to change it now.
The introductory price per team member for your one year membership in The Partnership is
$3,995 per person.
With a minimum of 4 and maximum of 6 participants per cohort and includes all of the benefits listed above.
Frequently asked questions
When will the live sessions be held?
The Partnership is a small, bespoke program tailored to meet your needs directly. Therefore, we will reach out to you once your cohort has been formed to confirm when your sessions should occur. Sessions will be the same time each month (9 sessions per year — all months except July, August and December). So, if the team decides “first Tuesday at 10 am Pacific Time” then the live sessions will be the first Tuesday of each of those months, at 10 am Pacific.
How is the “In-House” Partnership different from the public program?
Our In-House Partnership program has all of the benefits and program features that are included in our public Partnership program. The difference is that your coach is coaching each individual, as well as the team overall. That means that not only does each participant have goals they identify for themselves (like the public program) but we also identify shared team goals that you will work toward, as well.
Are the live sessions “in-person” or virtual?
Our live, real-time interactive meetings are virtual to make it easy for geographically distributed teams, as well as teams working from home, to participate.
