Leadership Coaching Program

A structured engagement for senior leaders, built on clinical training rather than a workshop curriculum.

A leadership coaching program at Meridian is a structured one-to-one engagement running three to twelve months, usually two sessions a month, at $750 to $1,500 an hour depending on scope and seniority. Every program opens with a clinical-grade assessment, sets two or three explicit objectives, and is reviewed at the midpoint against those objectives rather than against attendance.

Programs are led by Dr. Stephanie Collier, a board-certified psychiatrist and Harvard Medical School faculty member, and are delivered by secure video nationwide or in person in Boston. Choose the track below that matches the problem you are actually solving; if that is unclear, the assessment narrows it in two minutes.

How the Program Runs

  1. Assessment. A structured first session that establishes what is actually driving the presenting problem, including whether any part of it sits outside the scope of coaching.
  2. Objectives. Two or three written objectives, agreed before the work begins, specific enough that progress against them is observable.
  3. Fortnightly sessions. Ninety minutes, by secure video or in person, over the agreed term.
  4. Midpoint review. An explicit checkpoint against the objectives, with the option to change direction or end the engagement early.
  5. Close. A final session that consolidates what changed and what maintains it.

Confidentiality is clinical-grade and communication is HIPAA-compliant. Where an organization sponsors the engagement, what the sponsor receives is agreed in writing before the first session.
