Professional shadow coaching
Shadow Coaching
A coach beside you while you do the real job. Observe, immediate feedback, and a plan you can act on the same week.
What shadow coaching is
Coaching in the room, not after the fact
The coach sits in on your real working moments — meetings, one-to-ones, presentations, decisions — then gives feedback immediately afterwards, follows it with a short written after-action review, and closes the loop in a structured debrief.
Observe
The coach sits in on your real working moments — meetings, one-to-ones, presentations, decisions.
Immediate feedback
A same-day conversation while the moment is still fresh, not weeks later.
Written after-action review
A short written note capturing what was observed and what to work on.
Structured debrief
Patterns are named, next steps agreed, and progress reviewed across the engagement.
Who it is for
Built for professionals carrying real weight
Professionals only — those who want an honest read on how they actually show up when it counts
Newly promoted managers moving from doing to leading
Professionals heading into a high-stakes period — reorg, restructure, growth, a major decision
How an engagement runs
Four steps, start to finish
Scoping call
Agree the sessions to be observed, the goals, and the confidentiality boundaries.
Observation
The coach attends live, in person or on video, and takes structured notes.
Feedback and written review
A same-day conversation, then a written after-action review.
Debrief and development plan
Patterns named, next steps agreed, progress reviewed across the engagement.
What it is not
Not training, not a course, not group or cohort work. It is one coach and one professional.
Everything observed is confidential, and observation is agreed in advance with you before any session is attended.
Scoped per engagement
Every shadow coaching engagement is scoped to your sessions and goals — book a free 20-minute call to talk it through.
