Leadership Coaching for a Saudi-Based Energy Transition Firm (14 Countries)

Context & Objectives:

CoachBase, a leading coaching company, partnered with a fast-growing, Saudi-headquartered energy firm during a pivotal stage of its evolution, as the organization transitioned from a scale-up to a more mature and structured enterprise. With operations spanning 14 countries and encompassing 40 nationalities, the company faced the challenge of ensuring consistent leadership capabilities across a highly diverse workforce.

The executive coaching engagement targeted mid-career professionals and senior executives, aiming to expand access to structured leadership development while supporting the organization’s ambitious growth and transformation goals. The key objectives were:

• Expanding access to leadership development for a geographically and culturally diverse leadership community through scalable online coaching solutions.
   
• Enhancing communication, collaboration, and team effectiveness in cross-functional, multicultural settings.
   
• Building individual and team resilience to help leaders navigate complexity, change, and high-pressure situations while maintaining performance.
   

Approach:

The program was designed as a flexible, goal-oriented coaching for leaders initiative that could accommodate participants across multiple time zones and professional contexts. It combined individual coaching sessions with alignment to broader organizational development strategies to ensure measurable impact on both leaders and their teams.

Key components of the approach included:

• Tailored coaching plans, personalized to each leader’s role, responsibilities, and cultural context.
   
• Actionable guidance and tools, enabling participants to immediately apply leadership strategies in day-to-day operations.
   
• Focus on multicultural and cross-functional leadership, equipping leaders to manage diverse teams effectively and collaborate across geographies.
   
• Resilience-building techniques, supporting leaders to maintain composure, adaptability, and strategic thinking in fast-changing environments.
   
• Integration with organizational talent initiatives, ensuring that coaching outcomes supported broader objectives, including succession planning and workforce development.

Results:

While the program is ongoing, early results demonstrate strong positive impact. Coaching has strengthened the company’s people development culture, fostering leaders who are more confident, connected, and capable of driving high performance. Participants report improvements in communication, collaboration, and team cohesion across borders.

The initiative also provides a scalable model for leadership development, ensuring that future cohorts can benefit from the same structured, high-quality coaching experience. By addressing the challenges of multicultural leadership and organizational transformation, the program has laid a foundation for sustainable growth, stronger executive alignment, and a culture of continuous learning.
