Title: Executive Presence & Assertiveness Coach for Marketing Professional in Virtual Client-Facing Role
Description: We’re a high-performing digital marketing agency looking for a part-time coach to support a smart, analytical, and deeply committed team member in building:
Executive presence, confident communication, and assertiveness
This team member is technically strong and highly conscientious but struggles to:
Speak with clarity and confidence in live client discussions
Address misperceptions or course-correct clients early without over-accommodating
Assert performance expectations when clients are off-track
Deliver insights with leadership presence rather than deferential explanation
Respond effectively in unscripted or extemporaneous situations (e.g., client pushback or uncertainty)
She often overprepares and creates complexity as a coping mechanism—avoiding discomfort or performance stress rather than moving through it with grounded authority.
Coaching Objectives:
Develop executive presence and client-facing confidence
Learn to communicate with calm assertiveness—especially under pressure or ambiguity
Build tools for real-time communication and agile responsiveness in meetings
Shift from appeasing or passive stances to confident leadership, even with strong personalities
Reduce over-reliance on preparation or scripts as a way to avoid in-the-moment interaction
Light touch guidance around executive functioning and scope control as needed
Ideal Coach Background:
Professional coach specializing in executive presence, assertive communication, or presentation coaching
Experienced with high-performing, introverted, or analytical professionals
Comfortable coaching through anxiety or perfectionism without pathologizing it
Background in client service, consulting, or creative/agency environments a plus
Uses practical tools and frameworks (e.g., GROW, presence work, narrative reframing, real-time drills)
Engagement Details:
Weekly 50–60 minute sessions via Zoom or similar
Initial engagement: 6–12 weeks, with potential to extend
Fully remote
Start: ASAP
