Praesta LEADERS IN EXECUTIVE COACHING

Working With Women

We have built a reputation as the UK market leader in coaching women who want to become directors – executive and non-executive - using our specialist knowledge and understanding of the issues they face in what are still the predominantly male upper reaches of organisations. As part of this work we sponsor the FTSE 100 Cross Company Mentoring Programme. Senior women executives in the UK's top 100 companies have taken advantage of our expertise to hone their skills, realise their potential and position themselves for further advancement.

The coaching we at Praesta offer is not remedial. The women executives with whom we work are senior, successful and talented. We are playing our part in helping talented women in significant organisations in the UK workforce achieve their full potential and make their optimum contribution to the organisations of which they are a part. We are proud to observe the women we have coached achieving their objectives - whether those are a promotion, a new direction in their professional life or a seat on the Board – and to be told that we have contributed to their success.
