We are not professional coaches.
We are professionals who coach.
Our approach is 1:1 and confidential. It pairs a structured set of evaluations, advanced assessments, and proprietary leadership frameworks with a coach who didn’t just read the book; they lived the role.
Who we coach
Your top team, your successors, and the leaders you cannot afford to lose.
A proven, structured approach tailored to each individual leader. We don’t do cookie-cutter coaching.
Your Top Team
Each leader works with their own coach, so the team improves without anyone being singled out.
Your Bench
The people next in line for the roles you need filled, coached before the seat opens rather than after.
New in the Role
Executives who have recently stepped into a larger role, and those you can least afford to lose.
In practice
Any team. Any size. Any industry.
Most of our clients bring us in for several leaders at a time; with some, we work with dozens.
The bench

Confidentiality
Nothing said in the room leaves the room.
An executive who is guarded in the room gets nothing out of coaching. Confidentiality has to be an absolute, for the time to be worth anything. We do not report on what your executives discuss, in summary or in themes.
The engagement
How an engagement runs.
Five phases, at the leader's pace. It starts with the right match, because everything after it depends on that.
-
01
Match
We have a deep bench of Executive Coaches to pair you with. We look at industry, role, and personality to put forward the best fit.
-
02
Discover
What’s it like to work on the other side of you? The process starts with a series of modern assessments that hold up a mirror, giving leaders a clear view of their strengths, their blind spots, and the impact they have on the people around them.
-
03
Goals
Following the discover process, everything from the assessments comes together into a short list of goals the leader can stand behind, with their board, their team, and themselves.
-
04
Coach
One formal hour a month, with informal calls in between whenever something comes up.
-
05
Sustain
There is no fixed end date. We encourage you to start with a commitment of one year, but many leaders go well beyond that.
How pairing works
Our suggestion, your selection
We make a recommendation for potential coaches based on background, experience, goals, and personality. The person being coached makes the final decision.
What changes
What this work actually changes.
You'll see it show up in the room: sharper calls in board meetings, a bench you can actually promote from, people who stay.
Sharper decisions
The big decisions get worked through with someone who’s already made them, before they’re made for real.
A deeper bench
When a role opens up, you promote from inside instead of launching a search.
Promotions that hold
New leaders settle into bigger jobs and perform well in year one, not year three.
Fewer departures
The people you want to keep get something they can't find anywhere else inside the company.
Client perspective
What leaders say afterward.
After nearly 38 years leading HR teams, Magellan has helped me build a legacy of staff development I could only have dreamed of. They are changing our culture — empowering our staff and leaders to expect more of themselves and each other.
Don't wait — do it. Magellan is an exceptional partner, but the value comes when you fully commit to the process. The monthly insights from my coach, Mark Burson, have made me a stronger business leader and a better person.
Magellan brings a practical, real-world approach to leadership development — not just theory. It has sharpened my ability to lead with clarity and to have more meaningful performance conversations with my leaders.
I would strongly recommend Magellan to any organization seeking a strategic partner in executive coaching. Their work is grounded in customization and practical application — creating value that is both immediate and lasting.
