Executive Coaching

Effective Executive Coaching is an important ‘secret weapon’ in your Arete Journey...Top Leaders, in businesses of all sizes and types, recognize that no one does it alone. Having a confidant, a consigliere you trust and can talk with about the grand sweep of your vision...or, the problems you’re having with a difficult employee in a series of ongoing conversations that occur regularly is the ‘secret weapon’ of many CEO’s and C-Suite leaders. Ben Griffin has extensive, deep experience as a line executive, entrepreneur, CEO, and practicing professional.. Ben brings that depth and breadth to every Executive Coaching engagement. He works with CEO’s and executives on focused assignments of a year or less and has relationships that have spanned 15 or more years where he makes a valued continuing contribution to the leader's success and growth. Explore the CEOIQ Executive Coaching Program and some of the proprietary tools and diagnostics used to facilitate your Journey of Arete.

We’re working to bring together small groups of 6 - 10 leaders - all from different businesses and from different parts of North America - to participate in ‘topic-focused’ workshops… Ben Griffin and Sara King have been planning this all new format in order to provide additional support for the “How To Create Your Next Great Employee” Digital Leadership Lab.
