Oxford’s leading executive coaches

The Listening Partnership’s head office has been operating in the Oxford area for over 25 years. However, our executive coaches work with clients across all sectors and businesses throughout the UK and internationally.

Our executive coaches enjoy building positive, ongoing relationships with our clients and consistently offer high-quality services that they value. The reputation that we have established over the years is endorsed by regular client referrals and recommendations.

Our coaching approach

Our coaching approach will help you make sense of what is going for you and explore your business context. Your time with a coach will provide the groundwork for making significant decisions. It is the springboard for taking the kind of strategic action that will bring about significant change. The coaching will be an investment in your future.

We understand the time pressures that our Oxford clients have in their busy lives, and we respect these constraints. Our coaches will make arrangements to meet you at a mutually agreed venue. In any event, these coaching sessions are either at our office, in a confidential space in your company or off-site.
