Offor's Best of Executive Coaching List (2023)
The best athletes have a coach. The best leaders do too.
Jackie Hanselmann Sergi, the founder and CEO of Radical Spark Coaching, is the first person we refer people to when exploring their career options. With a background in executive search, she can marry both sides of the matchmaking equation - the employer and the candidate sides. But, because she no longer works for a search firm, she focuses exclusively on the candidate, which an executive search firm is not designed to do. Jackie can focus on helping you get unstuck, unearthing your needs, wants, and highest aspirations. And, like any good coach, identify what might be standing in the way of you reaching your goals. If you’re looking for the next just-right move, not just the next move, Jackie might be your coach. The first time I spoke with Jackie, I remember thinking, “Here is someone comfortable in their skin.”
Rayne Martin is a leadership coach, founder & CEO of It’s The Impact, an executive leadership coaching firm. She believes that if you change your world, you can change the world. I first met Rayne Martin while she was the executive director of Stand for Children in Louisiana. After nearly 100 walks and talks with Rayne, I can attest to her unique gift for helping you lean into your strengths, identify your fears, and hold them gently without letting them control you and your destiny. When leaders are taking on a new executive role, we recommend that they work with Rayne.
Anjani Bhargava is a leadership coach for executives who want to open themselves up to their power. I worked with Anjani during one of the most painful parts of my leadership journey. She is a gift who will hold space for you and ensure that you hold space for yourself. But do not work with Anjani unless you want to go deep and get at what’s underneath for you and who you are at your very best. She will not let you run away from yourself; in this way, she is the best of guides, teachers, and coaches. She is a Partner at Evolution and the founder of DLB Consulting.
Brian Gadsen is the founder and CEO of Courij Consulting and an executive coach who works to help you address your fears and overcome them. He has come highly recommended by many executives in our network who speak to his gifts in helping you set and reach personal and professional goals, mastering your life, managing transitions, heightening strategic thinking, and more. With over 20+ years of leadership experience, Brian is a trusted leader for those at the top of their game.
Ron Rapatalo is the author of the leadership development book Leverage and the Ronderings Podcast host. Full disclosure: I’m featured in the book. Ron’s gift of collecting relationships has helped him hone a listening ear for people’s hopes and aspirations. In addition, with over 20+ years of experience in talent and executive search, Ron understands how to make a resume stand out, what hiring managers want to hear, and how to position yourself for what is next.
