CxO exists to strengthen this cycle.
The challenges of leadership never stop.
From navigating complex decisions to developing high performing teams and needing to scale your company, the demands only grow over time. You need to perform constantly and sometimes, you can’t do it alone. Like every great athlete, having the right coach behind you can push you and your team to achieve more.
Our CxO Coaches are here to help you in any of these areas. You don’t need or want generic advice—you need a seasoned coach who understands your specific needs and has been in your position. At CxO Coaching, we partner with HR teams to develop leaders. Whether you are a new leader at a large enterprise, a veteran CEO at a fast-growing mid-size company, or a founder at a family-run organization, each coach is committed to elevating you, your executives, and your teams to their highest potential, all while focused on people engagement and profit.
Train Like a Business Athlete.
Lead Like a Champion.
Success isn’t just about knowing what to do—it’s about training and learning from those who’ve done it.
CxO Coaching connects you with experienced leaders who’ve led companies, navigated challenges, and delivered results, just like the best coaches in sports. They are ready to share that knowledge and expertise with you, strengthening you, your leadership team, and your company.
Leadership Focus Areas
-
Leaders see the future — they set the direction and others follow. Strong time management and mental clarity create the space to anticipate future needs. Great leaders are made by great judgement, and CxO serve as valuable sounding boards and sparring partners.
-
Aligning internal and external stakeholders can be a real challenge. Getting everyone rowing in the same direction depends on how, when, and to whom leaders communicate. The ability to persuade without coercion—or even authority—is a skill senior leaders continuously strengthen with their coach.
-
Great organizations have great leaders who value the contributions of all people. CxO coaches help unlock engagement across subordinates, superiors, and colleagues while ensuring those efforts translate into business results and customer centricity. We believe that leading with noble purpose drives growth and profit.
-
Leaders earn the right to grow and expand their scope as results are attained. Whether the goal is reaching new heights or executing a turnaround, our coaches keep leadership development tied to key performance indicators and business results.
-
Not many things go as planned. Great leaders and their teams stay agile, responsive, and innovative when the unexpected happens. A CxO coach helps executives see through immediate challenges, draw on past success, and rise to the occasion to lead through difficult times.
-
As leaders rise, they can become less open to challenge and feedback. The skills that led to one level are not always the skills required to sustain success at the next. CxO coaches help leaders identify blind spots, stay open to feedback, and continue improving.
What leaders say
Michel Koopman and his firm CxO Coaching have been invaluable partners throughout my transition from President to CEO of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. Michel has become a trusted sounding board—creating the space for honest reflection, challenging my thinking, and helping me bring greater clarity and focus to consequential decisions. As our organization matured and prepared for its next chapter, CxO Coaching also supported our COO and CSO, strengthening alignment and leadership across our executive team. Their guidance is candid, practical, and grounded in the realities of leading and growing a business. I would highly recommend CxO Coaching to any executive or organization navigating growth, transformation, or a significant leadership transition.
They do extremely valuable work of unleashing the best strengths out of people and coaching them to improve their areas of opportunity. Few people like my coach know how to do it in a human, truthful and meaningful way. Driving behavioral change is not easy but the CxO team leads very effective programs by combining unique business understanding with real human development.
Michel has been a great asset in the quest to develop leadership talent here at Burger King. His partnership, mentoring capabilities, and positive approach help leaders develop the soft skills necessary for success in today’s cross functional workplace.
I have had the ultimate pleasure and privilege of working with CxO Coaching and specifically with Michel. He has been invaluable during my transition into an SVP role in my company with a remarkable ability to understand my aspirations and professional goals. Michel takes the time to skillfully guide me through real-time challenges with thought-provoking and highly impactful advice and insight.
The engagement measurably sharpened my leadership, communication, and decision-making, and it helped catalyze real structural improvements across my team. To any executive or organization considering CxO Coaching: if you’re willing to engage honestly, you’ll get more out of it than you expect. These six months were among the most challenging of my career, and a large part of what I gained came directly from Al’s insight, honesty, and the trust he built. I’d recommend the experience without hesitation.
I have had the pleasure and honor of working directly with Michel on both strategic and tactical business initiatives. As an executive and leader, I am constantly looking to grow and develop both myself and our business. Michel has enabled us to clearly align our business goals and processes and make a real impact. In addition, Michel’s character and leadership style has left a resounding impact on me and our business.
Michel is working with us to scale our Blinkist for Business offering. He is a true expert in the learning and development space and an outstanding salesperson and coach. He is a sparring partner to me and the team on all levels. He helps us shape the general strategy, find product-market fit, and support our salespeople in their calls. I highly recommend Michel as an advisor & coach to grow yourself and your business. It’s fun working together.
I reflect on a 2-year period where I worked on several projects that Michel’s company organized. The partnership we built in concert with one another demonstrated commitment to process AND product and wanting to take care of people and profits…he understands the multitude of factors that create business value for customers and employees alike.
