Executive Coaching for Senior Leaders in Vancouver

Senior roles bring more visibility, more pressure and fewer people who will give you candid feedback. Executive coaching gives you a confidential partner who understands your organization, asks the hard questions and helps you practise new approaches on the real situations in front of you.

Our coaching is built for:

  • Executives and senior leaders who want to increase their effectiveness and influence
  • Leaders stepping into a new, larger or more senior role
  • High-potential managers preparing for executive responsibility
  • Leaders working through organizational change, competing priorities or difficult relationships

Most engagements run three to six months and can include stakeholder alignment, 360-degree interviews, a written development plan and regular one-on-one sessions. See how a typical engagement works on our executive coaching services page.

Named one of the Top 15 Coaches in Vancouver in 2026 by Influence Digest.

I had the pleasure to get coached by Reza for six months. From the very beginning I had the feeling that Reza is able to listen and immediately understand issues that I do have in my daily business and which were hindering my personal growth. Reza's Engineering background definitely helped to understand challenges and opportunities of a technical leader. During our coaching journey I’ve got very valuable input regarding topics like how to deal with volume, scaling as a leader, creating effective teams and how to use positive intelligence principles to get transformative impact as a leader and human being.

I can absolutely recommend Reza as a Business and Executive Coach and looking forward to our next engagement.

I just finished six months of executive coaching with Reza today. Reza was a terrific coach. He helped me understand and act on feedback I received from others, helping me to truly internalize this feedback and understand it better. He was a great and empathetic listener. He didn’t just focus on my professional goals, he focused on my whole self, my values, and what I wanted in life more generally. It’s not too dramatic to say this experience was life changing. I highly recommend Reza for executive coaching! Thank you, Reza!

I recently had the opportunity to engage with Reza for a six-month executive coaching engagement. Thanks to his great guidance and coaching, I was able to make demonstrable and significant progress toward improving my own leadership skills and building stronger rapport with key stakeholders.
For me personally, Reza’s calm demeanor and pleasant personality coupled with his commitment to holding me accountable and helping me to help myself really worked well. He successfully paired several different recognized frameworks (360-degree reviews, emotional intelligence assessments, etc.) with some custom-designed ones to ensure that my specific, personalized coaching needs were being met.

If you are looking for a compassionate, energetic, and driven coach with an engineering mindset who is committed to helping you to grow, I would strongly recommend Reza.

Executive Coaching FAQs

What does an executive coach do?

An executive coach helps senior leaders become more effective by clarifying goals, gathering feedback and practising new leadership behaviours on real work situations. At Elevated Talent, coaching blends candid feedback, evidence-informed frameworks and practical strategies you can use right away, and it may include stakeholder interviews, 360-degree feedback or assessments.

How much does an executive coach cost in Vancouver?

The cost of executive coaching depends on the length of the engagement, how often you meet, and whether assessments, stakeholder interviews or sponsor alignment are included. After an initial consultation, we provide a written proposal that outlines the scope, deliverables and fees.

How long does executive coaching take?

Executive coaching engagements typically last three to six months. Six months works well when the engagement includes stakeholder alignment, 360-degree feedback, a development plan and enough time to practise and sustain new behaviours.

Is executive coaching confidential?

Yes. Your individual coaching conversations stay private. When an organization sponsors coaching, the leader, coach and sponsor agree on goals and what information will be shared before the work begins, and only progress on agreed goals is discussed with the sponsor.

Do you offer virtual executive coaching?

Yes. Coaching is available virtually or in person. Virtual sessions allow us to work with leaders across Canada, the United States and internationally.

What is the difference between executive coaching and leadership training?

Executive coaching is individual support tailored to one leader’s goals and feedback, while leadership training builds shared skills across a group of leaders. Team development focuses on how an intact team works together. Many organizations combine all three.

Who is executive coaching for?

Executive coaching is for executives, senior leaders and emerging leaders who want to become more effective, prepare for bigger responsibilities or work through a major leadership challenge such as a role transition, organizational change or feedback that calls for a new leadership style.

How do I get started with Elevated Talent?

Start by booking a consultation. We will discuss your role, goals and context, recommend the right coaching or development approach, and follow up with a proposal.
