Coaching for CEOs, executives, senior leaders, and emerging executives.

Leadership at this level requires something different.

Executive leadership requires more than technical expertise, experience, or a strong track record.

At the senior level, your ability to lead through complexity, communicate clearly, align people around a shared vision, navigate difficult conversations, and create accountability directly impacts the organization around you.

Executive Leadership Coaching with Dr. Marissa Layton is a confidential, one-on-one coaching engagement focused on developing the leader behind the title.

This is not business development coaching. This is not team consulting. The work is focused on you — how you lead and the impact your leadership creates throughout the organization.

The higher you rise, the fewer spaces you have to think out loud.

Senior leaders are expected to have answers, make decisions, guide others, and create clarity — often while navigating significant complexity themselves.

A leadership team that is not fully aligned
A culture that needs to evolve
Difficult conversations that have been delayed
Inconsistent accountability across leaders or teams
Competing priorities and limited capacity
Expectations that are not being communicated clearly
Pressure to make high-impact decisions quickly
A leadership style that needs to evolve for the next level

Sometimes you don't need someone to tell you what to do. You need an experienced, objective thought partner who can help you slow down, challenge assumptions, identify blind spots, and translate insight into action.

Built around the leader you need to become.

Every engagement is customized around your role, leadership goals, organizational environment, and desired impact.

Executive Presence

Strengthen confidence, credibility, influence, and how you show up at the senior level.

Strategic Thinking

Improve decision-making, prioritization, and the ability to lead beyond the immediate issue.

Leadership Team Alignment

Create greater clarity, accountability, and alignment among senior leaders.

Culture & Change

Strengthen your ability to lead cultural transformation and organizational change.

Communication

Set clearer expectations and communicate with greater consistency and intention.

Difficult Conversations

Address conflict, performance, and challenging situations with greater confidence.

Delegation & Accountability

Build stronger ownership without becoming the bottleneck for every decision.

Emotional Intelligence

Increase self-awareness and understand how your leadership impacts others.

Leadership Discipline

Strengthen organization, prioritization, consistency, and sustainable leadership habits.

We start with the end in mind.

Executive coaching should create more than good conversations. Our work is built around clear development priorities, specific action, and measurable progress.

Leadership Skills Assessment

Your engagement begins with a customized assessment of the leadership competencies most critical to your success.

You will evaluate:

  • Your current effectiveness in each competency
  • How critical each competency is to success in your role

I also recommend inviting one to three trusted leaders to complete the assessment for additional perspective and validation.

90-Minute Coaching Kickoff

We review your assessment results, explore your goals in greater depth, and clarify the leadership impact you want to create.

You'll also receive a preliminary Leadership Development Plan based on your assessment and discovery conversation.

Together, we'll finalize your customized Leadership Development Roadmap with specific goals, actions, and measures of success.

Ongoing Executive Coaching

Coaching sessions combine your long-term development roadmap with real-time leadership situations and decisions.

After each session, you'll receive:

  • Personalized session recap
  • Key insights and takeaways
  • Specific action steps
  • Accountability before our next conversation

Formal 360-degree leadership assessments are available as an additional service and require a customized proposal.

Leadership theory meets real-world executive experience.

Executive coaching is deeply personal. Who you choose matters.

My work sits at the intersection of leadership, organizational strategy, culture, people, and transformation.

I understand that leadership is rarely as simple as knowing the "right" leadership principle. The real work is figuring out how to apply it when personalities, politics, competing priorities, organizational history, and business realities are all sitting in the room with you.

Leaders Navigating Organizational Transformation

This work is particularly valuable for leaders who are willing to reflect honestly, receive feedback, be challenged, and take action between coaching conversations.

Your coaching space is yours.

Executive coaching provides a confidential environment to think openly about leadership challenges, relationships, decisions, and development opportunities.

The coaching relationship is separate from performance management, supervision, and organizational consulting.

When an organization sponsors an engagement, expectations regarding confidentiality, goals, and any organizational reporting will be clearly established before coaching begins.

Leadership development is an investment in organizational impact.

Three- and six-month engagements may be paid in full, in two installments, or monthly for the duration of the engagement.

Your full investment and payment schedule will be documented in your coaching agreement before the engagement begins.

You don't have to be struggling to benefit from executive coaching.

Strong leaders invest in becoming even stronger.

If you're ready to become more intentional about how you lead, let's start with a conversation about your goals, current leadership environment, and the impact you're working to create.
