RLD Group partners with organizations to strengthen executives and high-potential leaders whose decisions, influence, and capacity have an outsized impact on business performance.
The work may begin with one executive, but leadership patterns do not stay individual. How an executive makes decisions, communicates priorities, responds under pressure, and leads through others shapes team execution and the broader organization.
Using our I | WE | US lens, we help leaders build the clarity, capacity, and alignment required to navigate greater complexity, create top-line opportunity, and protect bottom-line performance.
AI is accelerating decisions, pressure, and complexity.
Executive coaching strengthens the human leadership capacity behind clarity, alignment, and sustainable performance, so organizations can move faster without increasing friction, rework, change fatigue, or burnout.
At RLD Group, executive coaching is not technical training or skills practice on the side. Leaders often already have deep expertise. Coaching helps them access and apply that expertise more effectively by strengthening judgment, self-awareness, resilience, communication, and the ability to lead through others.
This is head-and-heart work grounded in real operating conditions: AI acceleration, disruption, fragmented decision-making, coordination overload, expanding scope, and the human impact of continuous change.
We partner with organizations to strengthen technology and business leaders whose decisions, influence, and capacity have an outsized impact on execution, enterprise readiness, and the people around them.
The shift should be visible in how the leader operates, how others experience their leadership, and how the business moves:
Organizations experience leadership as a system. We coach with that in mind.
I | Individual leadership capacity
Judgment under pressure, clarity, self-awareness, influence, energy, resilience, decision-making, and the ability to lead with both head and heart
WE | Team alignment
Trust, accountability, shared language, conflict navigation, cross-functional clarity, and the conditions that help people do their best work
US | Organizational alignment
The leadership patterns, structures, and decisions that shape enterprise readiness, change capacity, and whether disruption creates fragmentation or momentum
Executive coaching most often begins at the I level, but the work does not stay there.
As the leader strengthens judgment, self-awareness, communication, and capacity, those shifts can improve trust, alignment, and execution across WE. Over time, stronger leadership patterns help the organization navigate disruption, reduce change fatigue, and build greater readiness across US.
That is why we see executive coaching as one entry point into leadership alignment.
We help business leaders determine whether executive coaching is the right starting point and define what meaningful progress should look like for the leader, the team, and the organization.
Experienced Coaches. Diverse Expertise. Stronger Together.
The strength of the RLD Group collective is not sameness. It is range.
Our coaches bring cross-functional executive and business leadership experience across industries and complex technology organizations. We have led teams, carried business outcomes, navigated enterprise transformation, and worked through the same pressures, blind spots, and competing priorities senior leaders face.
Our perspective is grounded in lived operating experience and strengthened by deep coaching expertise.
We are not a high-volume coaching platform or a standardized leadership program. Every engagement is intentionally shaped around the executive, the business context, and the outcomes that matter most.
That may mean supporting a newly promoted executive, accelerating a high-potential leader, preparing a successor for broader enterprise responsibility, or helping a senior leader navigate transformation, disruption, and sustained pressure.
We do not expect one coach to be everything to every executive. When useful, we draw on more than one coach or practitioner and match the right mix of experience, perspective, challenge, and support to the need.
Across the collective, we hold a shared standard for trust, confidentiality, rigor, practical application, and business impact.
Our work connects executive growth to team alignment, succession strength, change capacity, and enterprise readiness through our I | WE | US lens.
The result is highly personalized executive coaching grounded in real operating conditions and designed to help leaders think more clearly, lead at greater scale, and bring out the best in themselves and others.
Executive Coaching Designed for Measurable Impact
Every executive coaching engagement begins with clear goals, agreed-upon measures of progress, and a shared understanding of the business outcomes the coaching is intended to support.
We measure impact through changes in areas such as:
Depending on the engagement, measurement may include sponsor alignment, narrative 360 feedback, progress reviews, and agreed-upon indicators of business impact
.
The goal is meaningful impact for the executive, the team, and the organization.
Executive coaching designed for real operating conditions, measurable progress, and stronger leadership alignment across I | WE | US.
We coach for traction
We clarify outcomes, success measures, and the real constraints—what’s driving friction, what’s at risk, and what needs to change.
We strengthen the leadership moves that create leverage in the AI Era: decision clarity, communication, influence, prioritization, stakeholder management, and sustainable performance under pressure.
We make the shifts stick through application in real situations, reflection, and refinement so behavior changes hold during the next wave of complexity.
Coaching can be extended or tailored based on scope, goals, and organizational context.
Executive Coaching FAQ
What is executive coaching for technology and business leaders?
Executive coaching helps leaders strengthen clarity, judgment, influence, and sustainable performance as they navigate expanded scope, AI acceleration, organizational change, and high-stakes decisions.
At RLD Group, executive coaching is also an entry point into leadership alignment. The work may begin with one leader, but the impact can extend across the team and the broader organization through our I | WE | US lens.
The best time is before the hardest leadership moments arrive.
Organizations often invest when a critical leader is stepping into greater responsibility, navigating increased complexity, preparing for succession, or experiencing friction that is beginning to affect alignment and execution.
Executive coaching can help strengthen the leader, the team, and the leadership system before pressure exposes preventable gaps.
Executive coaching is especially valuable for executives, newly promoted executives, high-potential leaders, successors, and business-critical leaders preparing for broader enterprise responsibility.
It can also support capable leaders whose individual performance is strong, but whose next level of impact depends on stronger delegation, executive influence, cross-functional leadership, decision-making, or the ability to lead through others.
Leadership patterns affect more than one person.
How an executive sets priorities, makes decisions, communicates, manages pressure, and develops others can influence team execution, retention, cross-functional alignment, and organizational performance.
RLD Group connects individual coaching goals to the larger business context so progress at the I level can create meaningful movement across WE and US.
Leadership training develops shared knowledge and skills across a group. Executive coaching provides individualized support around one leader’s role, patterns, decisions, relationships, and business context.
Coaching may be the stronger entry point when the need is concentrated around a critical executive, a leadership transition, expanded scope, or a specific business challenge. Training or team development may be more appropriate when several leaders need shared language, tools, and practice.
RLD Group helps organizations determine the right entry point rather than assuming coaching is always the answer.
RLD Group begins by clarifying the business context, desired outcomes, and the leader’s development priorities.
When an organization sponsors the engagement, we may include an alignment conversation with the leader and appropriate sponsor. Coaching conversations remain confidential, while agreed-upon goals, progress measures, and organizational outcomes provide a shared framework for the engagement.
Two executives. Different leadership challenges. One common outcome: greater clarity, stronger decision-making, and leadership impact that strengthens teams, alignment, and execution across the organization.
Executive coaching can create the greatest leverage when organizations invest before the hardest leadership moments arrive.
Amy Crum’s experience shows how an investment in one executive can strengthen decision-making, leadership capacity, and impact across teams and the broader organization.
"One of the most impactful force multipliers in my leadership journey." — Amy Crum, VP Sales
"Lisa Duerre and RLD Group have been one of the most impactful force multipliers in my leadership journey. As I progressed from first-line leadership to executive roles with greater complexity, larger teams, and higher stakes, Lisa consistently challenged me to lead with greater clarity, address difficult issues directly, and navigate the conversations that shape leadership success.
What sets RLD Group apart is their ability to go beyond executive coaching. They help leaders align the leadership systems that drive execution across an organization. The result is faster, more confident decision-making, stronger cross-functional collaboration, and leaders who perform at their best without burning out. They don't focus on fixing people—they help leaders create the conditions where people and organizations thrive.
If you're ready to grow as a leader while building an organization that can execute with greater alignment, clarity, and confidence, I highly recommend Lisa Duerre and RLD Group."

Technology executives are often expected to move quickly, carry complexity, and make consequential decisions in real time as rapid change and disruption outpace proven playbooks.
Keith Sherry’s experience shows how executive coaching can strengthen decision criteria, stakeholder communication, and clarity under pressure, with impact that extends to the teams, relationships, and business outcomes the executive influences.
"Clear is Kind changed how I lead" — Keith Sherry, Technology and Operations Executive
I have to start with a phrase Lisa lives by that changed how I lead: Clear is Kind. It came out of my work with Lisa at RLD Group and has stuck with me ever since, because bringing clarity, especially in the middle of chaos, is one of the biggest gifts you can give the people around you — and yourself.
Here's what I took away. I'm wired to look around the corner and figure it out. I move fast, I trust my read, and I keep going even when I'm running on fumes. What Lisa gave me was language for the things I'd felt for years but never put into words. Through the work on values, core desired feelings, and what she calls join and leave motivators, I went from a gut sense about where I thrive to a clear, conscious read on it. I learned to mine the hard experiences for what they were teaching me, rather than just absorbing the hit and moving on.
And it's practical. Lisa is a directive coach — she draws it out of you with the right question, and advises when you need it. She brought real structure to the work across strengths, values, and career drivers, and held me accountable for what I said I'd do. It shows up in how I lead now: sharper criteria for the environments I'll step into, pre-wiring my stakeholders before tough conversations, an evidence-first approach to messy, high-stakes decisions.
The "so what" of all this? I've never lacked self-assurance, but what Lisa changed is that it's no longer just instinct. I can name my patterns, my values, and why a call is the right one. So when I say I'm exactly where I need to be, it's not a feeling anymore. It's something I can see clearly.
If you're looking to lead with more clarity and conviction, work with Lisa and RLD Group.
