How does LeaderPeer compare to hiring an executive coach? Executive coaching is a highly customized, intensive and expensive endeavour. It can take 1-2 weeks to get started with an executive coach. LeaderPeer gets you immediate answers to your most pressing questions for free, from a diverse set of perspectives. Our Vetted Experts include executive coaches, current executives and retired executives. |
Why the LeaderPeer Community?
We monitored our data to see what topics got the most traction with leaders. We poured through a decade's worth of newsletters, public speaking events, webinars and our experience with hundreds of coaching clients and thousands of leaders through our executive coaching business. It all came down to one big theme:
Influence. And all the things that stand in its way.
The biggest frustrations we found had to do with the interpersonal interactions that leaders have with difficult people. Difficult interactions take up so much time, create a great deal of stress, and lead to a horrible feeling that you have somehow failed. It can take days, and sometimes weeks or months, to get past a horrible interaction at work. It can seep into your home life. It can even keep you awake at night.
Then we asked leaders, where do you go to get help? Leaders overwhelmingly responded in one of two ways: either nowhere, or to a trusted friend, colleague or coach. To solve the problem leaders either use trial and error, or vent to a safe confidant who is hopefully objective enough and skilled enough to give relevant advice.
That is who you'll find at LeaderPeer. A peer who will make it safe for you to vent and find fast solutions to your most pressing people problems. A way to avoid the wasteful efforts of trial and error. And to top it off, a way to pay it forward by sharing what works.
Our entire coaching team has observed leaders at all levels of all types of organizations, in their natural habitat - the meeting room. Here is what we have learned:
We created LeaderPeer to help leaders have a greater impact on their organizations, increase their efficiency, and help one another.

- Leaders crave influence so they can feel their work is meaningful and impactful
- Leaders get frustrated by the same things - difficult personalities, processes that are broken, and meetings that go nowhere - all of which waste their precious time
- Leaders care deeply, about the people they serve and the work they deliver - leaders want to help
We created LeaderPeer to help leaders have a greater impact on their organizations, increase their efficiency, and help one another.
