Coaching for Leaders, Teams, and Organizations
Leadership can get complicated quickly: expanded scope, competing priorities, high-stakes decisions, team dynamics, stakeholder pressure, and the constant challenge of doing meaningful work in real organizational systems.
Two Piers Consulting provides executive, leadership, and team coaching for people and organizations navigating complexity, growth, transition, and change. Our coaching work creates space for clearer thinking, stronger leadership habits, better communication, and more intentional action.
We work with individuals, teams, and organizational sponsors to support development that is practical, ethical, and grounded in the realities of work.
What Coaching Supports
Coaching is a confidential, thought-provoking partnership that helps clients clarify goals, examine patterns, test assumptions, and move forward with greater intention.
In leadership and organizational settings, coaching often supports stronger decision-making, more effective communication, increased confidence, better delegation, healthier boundaries, and greater impact across teams and stakeholders.
Coaching is not consulting, mentoring, or advice-giving. The coach does not arrive with a prepackaged answer. Instead, the coach supports the client or team in accessing their own insight, strengthening their capacity, and translating learning into action.
Corporate-Sponsored Leadership Coaching
Corporate-sponsored coaching provides focused development support for leaders who are navigating expanded responsibility, complex stakeholder relationships, strategic decision-making, or significant transition.
These engagements are designed to support both the leader and the organization while preserving the confidentiality and integrity of the coaching relationship. We partner with sponsors and participants to clarify goals, define what success should look like, and create space for the leader to reflect, experiment, and grow in ways that translate back into their day-to-day leadership.
This work is especially useful for executives, senior leaders, emerging leaders, and technical or operational experts stepping into broader organizational influence.
Team Coaching
Team coaching helps intact teams strengthen how they work together, make decisions, communicate, navigate tension, and hold shared accountability.
Unlike a one-time workshop or facilitated discussion, team coaching focuses on the team as a system. The work may include clarifying purpose, improving trust and communication, surfacing patterns that are getting in the way, and helping the team build more effective habits over time.
This approach is especially useful for leadership teams, cross-functional teams, and teams navigating growth, change, complexity, or persistent misalignment.
Leadership Coaching Cohorts
Leadership coaching cohorts combine the depth of coaching with the shared learning of a peer group. Participants work on their own leadership goals while also learning from the experiences, questions, and perspectives of others.
Cohorts are especially useful for organizations developing groups of managers, emerging leaders, or high-potential employees who are facing similar leadership challenges. Topics may include communication, delegation, influence, feedback, confidence, resilience, and leading through change.
This format offers a practical and cost-effective way to expand leadership development across an organization while maintaining a coaching-based approach.
Additional Coaching Support
Individual Coaching
Individual coaching provides a confidential space to think clearly, examine patterns, clarify goals, and take intentional action.
Clients often come to coaching when they are navigating career transitions, leadership growth, workplace challenges, confidence questions, burnout, conflict, or the desire to lead with greater purpose and effectiveness. The focus of the engagement may evolve over time as the client gains clarity, encounters new challenges, or steps into new areas of responsibility.
This work is grounded in the belief that clients are resourceful and capable. The role of the coach is not to provide all the answers, but to help clients access their own insight, strengthen their agency, and move forward with greater clarity.
Assessments and Development Tools
Assessments and development tools can provide useful insight into leadership style, emotional intelligence, communication patterns, team dynamics, and areas for growth.
When appropriate, Two Piers uses assessments to support reflection, goal-setting, and development planning. These tools are not used to label people or reduce complex humans to a report. They are used as starting points for better questions, deeper self-awareness, and more intentional leadership behavior.
Assessments may be incorporated into individual coaching, team coaching, leadership cohorts, or broader organizational-development engagements.

From Our Clients
I have been coached by Erica for about four months now. The amount of support she's given me so far has been key to make my career transition from land to offshore drilling operations go as smoothly as possible. She always challenges me with open ended questions in order to help me focus on finding the best answers when I feel lost. She doesn’t limit her support to the professional side, she goes above and beyond and has provided me with great tools to help me deal with anxiety and create a healthy routine while being on board. I have no words to describe how grateful I am to have her while navigating through my new career!
Eliana - Drilling Engineer - Energy
Erica has a gift for gentle probing questions that seem to unblock what was blocked and light up paths to progress. In just a few sessions she helped me tease apart a jumble of bad thinking and get back on track.
ADAM - Founder - Tech Startup
If you’ve ever thought coaching was inaccessible or unnecessary for you, allow me to assure you that working with Erica will convince you otherwise. These sessions have helped redefine what personal success means to me, and Erica has held up a light, illuminating ways to achieve the goals that are most impactful for me. No matter your line of work or career trajectory, we can all benefit deeply from this kind of guidance and support
Marie - Regional Sales - fine wine
During my session with Erica she created a comfortable and open environment for me to discuss my current challenges, in turn she asked questions which allowed me to get outside of my own head and see things from a more positive perspective. My session with Erica didn't just provide me with a short-term elevation in mindset, it gave me a new perspective in my professional environment and has allowed me to deal with future challenges more effectively.
Callum - Senior Strategist - SEO
Erica was truly curious, with no agenda, while holding a clear belief in my own resourcefulness. She was equally comfortable providing me space or taking more control. And I always felt held, whether the moment called for more levity or seriousness Erica brought the right energy. She didn't shy away from asking challenging, probing questions but always did so with compassion.
Taylor - Coach, Facilitator, Innovator
Erica is an honest, open, and thoughtful coach. From our first session, Erica made me feel seen and comfortable with opening up. Our conversations made me feel like she could understand my issues or at least see where I was coming from. I walked away from every session with deeper knowledge of myself and how to approach the challenges in my life. I could tell that Erica truly cared about supporting my goals and ensuring that I benefited from the coaching experience.

What Is Coaching?
The International Coaching Federation, or ICF, defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
At Two Piers, coaching is a structured, confidential partnership designed to help clients think more clearly, strengthen their agency, and take meaningful action. The focus may include leadership growth, communication, confidence, decision-making, team dynamics, transition, conflict, or the shift from technical expertise to broader organizational influence.
Coaching differs from consulting, mentoring, and advising. In consulting, the emphasis is often on diagnosis, recommendations, and expert guidance. In mentoring, the mentor may draw heavily from their own experience. In coaching, the client remains the expert in their own context. The coach brings deep listening, powerful questions, reflection, challenge, and support to help the client access their own insight and apply it in practical ways.
Strong coaching is not passive or vague. It is purposeful, grounded, and development-oriented. In organizational settings, coaching can support clearer leadership, stronger working relationships, better delegation, more effective stakeholder engagement, and more sustainable ways of working.
Because coaching is often misunderstood, training and ethics matter. Two Piers aligns coaching work with ICF standards and ethics, including confidentiality, client agency, and respect for the client’s goals, values, and professional context.
If you are curious about what coaching could look like for you, your leaders, or your team, we would be glad to talk through whether it is the right fit.
