Who we coach
Leaders at the moments that shape their organizations
Executives and senior leaders
A confidential thinking partner for hard decisions, board and cabinet relationships, and leading through budget pressure or public scrutiny.
Leaders of change
Reorganizations, mergers, strategic plans, and new mandates. We help you bring people with you instead of announcing change at them.
Leaders across differences
Multigenerational teams, first-generation leaders, and leaders building more inclusive cultures. Equity is part of the coaching, not a separate workshop.
Leadership teams
Team coaching for executive teams, cabinets, and boards that need clearer roles, better decisions, and more trust across the table.
Organizations investing in people
Sponsored coaching for emerging leaders, with progress check-ins that keep the sponsor informed while protecting what the leader shares.

How coaching works
Connect. Collaborate. Create.
The same rhythm behind all of our work, applied to one leader or one team.
Connect
A free 30-minute discovery call to learn what you're facing. We recommend a coach, and you meet them before committing. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
Collaborate
We agree on goals together, often with input from a supervisor or sponsor and an assessment such as a 360° review, a strengths profile, or an emotional intelligence inventory.
Create
Regular sessions put new approaches into practice between meetings. A midpoint and closing review show what changed and what you'll carry forward.
Engagement formats
Ways to work with a coach
Leadership coaching
About 3 months
One-on-one sessions every two to three weeks for managers and directors working on a specific leadership goal.
Executive coaching
About 6 months
For senior leaders. Includes a 360° review, stakeholder check-ins, and support for decisions that affect the whole organization.
New leader transition
First 90 days
Focused support for a new role: learning the organization, building early trust, and setting priorities you can defend.
Team coaching
Scoped to your team
Facilitated sessions for leadership teams, cabinets, and boards, often paired with one-on-one coaching for the team's leader.
Investment: individual coaching sessions range from $100 to $250 each. We set your rate based on your organization type and your professional level, so it fits your context. For a problem-specific engagement, a four-session series is the usual minimum. Team and cohort coaching are scoped separately, and session fees may be higher. We confirm your rate on your discovery call, and organizations can sponsor coaching for one leader or a cohort.
Leadership vs. executive coaching
What's the difference?
Leadership coaching helps a manager or emerging leader build specific skills: giving feedback, delegating, running a team, and finding their own leadership style.
Executive coaching serves senior leaders whose decisions shape a whole organization. It adds stakeholder input, a 360° review, and a sharper focus on strategy, culture, and the leader's relationships with a board, cabinet, or community.
Both start from the same place at SoGoCo: you, the people you lead, and the community your organization serves.
The SoGoCo difference
Coaching with a systems view
Evidence-based
Our coaches are practitioners and social scientists. We use assessments and research to set goals and to show what changed.
Equity at the center
We help leaders notice who their decisions reach and who they miss, and build teams where more people can do their best work.
Leader and organization
Because we also do strategy and assessment, we coach you in the context of your organization's goals instead of in isolation.
