Your Next Level of Leadership Requires More Than Strong Performance

Objective leadership insight and personalized coaching for VP- and Director-level executives preparing for their next one or two moves toward the C-suite.

You’ve already demonstrated that you can deliver.

The question now is:

What will it take to lead at the next level?

Strengthen Your Leadership Pipeline

HIGH PERFORMANCE GOT YOU HERE
NOW THE ROAD AHEAD REQUIRES A DIFFERENT SKILLSET

How Will Get You There?

The leadership capabilities that make someone successful at the Director or VP level aren’t always the same capabilities required at the enterprise level.

As your scope increases, so does the complexity. You may need to demonstrate greater:

  • Enterprise thinking
  • Strategic influence
  • Organizational leadership
  • Executive presence
  • Cross-functional impact
  • Change leadership
  • Talent leadership
  • Business acumen
  • Stakeholder management
Vivaria helps you understand where you stand today—and what you need to develop next. We use a set of target leadership assessments to give you the insights you need.

EXECUTIVE COACHING PROCESS

Assess. Understand. Develop. Advance.

  • ASSESS
    Establish an objective picture of your leadership strengths and development opportunities.
  • UNDERSTAND
    Explore what the assessment data means in the context of your career, organization, and aspirations.

  • DEVELOP
    Create a focused professional development plan around the capabilities that matter most for your next move.

  • APPLY
    Use real leadership situations as opportunities to practice, experiment, and strengthen new behaviors.

  • ADVANCE
    Build the credibility, capability, and evidence of readiness required for your next level.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Is This the Right Time for Executive Coaching?

Vivaria is particularly well suited for leaders who:

  • Are currently at the Director or VP level
  • See the C-suite as a realistic career goal
  • Are typically two leadership moves away from the C-suite
  • Have a strong record of performance
  • Want objective feedback rather than generic leadership advice
  • Are willing to examine how their leadership is experienced by others
  • Want a practical development plan rather than an open-ended coaching relationship
  • Are ready to take ownership of their next leadership chapter
