Executive leadership coaching has become one of the most widely used development investments for senior leaders. The coaching relationship, the structured conversations, the goal-setting and accountability — when the constraint is at the skill or behaviour level, this model works and produces real results.
Most experienced senior leaders who seek executive leadership coaching have already benefited from this model at one or more points in their career. The question that brings them back — or brings them somewhere different — is usually a version of the same question: why has the pattern I am trying to change not changed?
The answer almost always lives below the level that conventional leadership coaching addresses.
What distinguishes executive leadership coaching at the inner charge level? At depth does not begin with the leader’s goals or their communication style. It begins with the inner charge — the specific contracted fear and anger stored from early life experiences that is projecting onto their most important leadership relationships as the pattern they want to change. Conventional coaching addresses the pattern at the surface. This coaching addresses the charge at the root. The distinction determines whether the change is temporary or structural.
The three levels of executive leadership coaching
Understanding which level of coaching is right for your situation is the most important decision in any development investment. Getting this wrong means investing significant time and money at the wrong level and finding — again — that the results are temporary.
Level 1 coaching — knowledge and skill development
The right investment when the leader genuinely lacks specific frameworks, capabilities, or technical leadership tools. A well-designed coaching engagement at this level produces lasting results because the constraint is a knowledge gap and coaching fills it. Most early-career leaders need this. Most experienced senior leaders have already addressed it.
Level 2 coaching — behaviour change and accountability
The right investment when the leader knows what effective leadership looks like and does not consistently do it. Coaching at this level provides the accountability structure that bridges the gap between knowledge and consistent application. This works well and produces genuine improvement — with the caveat that the improvement requires ongoing accountability to maintain because the underlying charge driving the old behaviour has not been addressed.
Level 3 coaching — inner charge resolution
The right investment when the leader has the knowledge, has done the behaviour work, and finds that the pattern returns under pressure regardless. Inside every unresolved charge, fear and anger are stored as contracted energy from early life experiences. Under pressure this stored energy overrides the conscious intention and reasserts the old pattern with precision. The Leadership Development Level Assessment identifies which level is primary — and for most senior leaders who have already invested in conventional coaching, the answer is Level 3.
Executive leadership coaching at 2thepointcoach.com works specifically at Level 3. Not because Levels 1 and 2 are unimportant — they are both genuinely valuable at the right stage — but because the gap in the market for experienced senior leaders is at Level 3, and that is where the soul-based methodology produces its most significant results.
How executive leadership coaching maps to the leadership levels
Maxwell’s leadership level framework provides the clearest map of where executive coaching at different levels produces its results.
Conventional executive coaching reliably produces Level 3 leaders — results-driven, relationally skilled, strategically capable. The industry is excellent at this and the investment is well-evidenced.
The Level 3 to Level 4 transition — where the leader needs to invest 80% of their time genuinely developing others rather than performing centrally — is where conventional coaching consistently reaches its structural limit. This is because Level 4 requires the resolution of the Pride and Attachment sphere charges that make genuine investment in others’ growth feel threatening to the leader’s own significance. These charges are not addressable through accountability coaching or communication frameworks. They require the inner development work that Level 3 coaching cannot reach.
Level 5 — Collins’ fierce will combined with genuine humility — requires the resolution of the fundamental Pride and Insecurity charges that both Maxwell and Collins describe paradoxically. This is the territory of the specialist leadership coach who works at the depth where these charges actually live.
Leadership coaching at 2thepointcoach.com addresses the Level 3 to Level 4 and Level 4 to Level 5 transitions — the territory that experienced executive coach work at depth specifically enables.
The diagnostic entry point
Every executive leadership coaching engagement begins with three assessments that take 45-60 minutes combined.
The Leadership Development Level Assessment confirms that Level 3 is the primary constraint. If it is not — if the constraint is genuinely at Level 1 or Level 2 — the right resource for the situation is a different type of coaching and Jyotisha Tat will say so directly.
The Emotion Projection Assessment maps which sphere charges are most active — Pride, Anger, Attachment, Jealousy, or Insecurity — and how they are currently projecting onto the leader’s most important relationships. This is the specific diagnostic that conventional psychometrics like MBTI and DISC cannot provide, because they describe personality patterns rather than the inner charges driving those patterns under pressure.
The Inner Charges Scan identifies which soul layer carries the heaviest stored fear and anger — the layer where the inner development work begins and where it has the greatest leverage for this specific leader.
The development path
The executive leadership coaching container at 2thepointcoach.com runs over 9-12 months in weekly or fortnightly sessions. Two programmes are deployed within this container in sequence.
The Power Up Soft Skills programme develops consciousness level and the five authentic soft skills through the Merkaba geometric activation, Kabbalah sphere development, and Shambhala heart centre empowerment — expanding the inner field that genuine Level 4 and Level 5 leadership requires.
The Close Up Energy Leaks programme resolves the specific sphere charges at the soul layer where they were formed — using the Trace-Face-Embrace-Grace process to release the stored fear and anger that has been projecting onto the leader’s team and relationships as the recurring pattern that previous coaching has not permanently shifted.
The combination produces what transformative leadership coaching is designed to produce: not a more skillfully managed version of the existing pattern, but a fundamentally different inner ground from which leadership naturally operates at the next level.
Frequently asked questions
How does executive leadership coaching at this level differ from therapy? At 2thepointcoach.com it works specifically with the inner charges limiting leadership effectiveness in a professional context. It is focused, commercially grounded, and outcome-oriented. The inner development work reaches depth — the soul layers where the charges were formed — but the context is always the leadership situation and the organisational outcomes that matter.
Is this executive leadership coaching available online? Yes. All coaching is delivered remotely via video call. The depth of inner charge level work is fully available online — the methodology, the sphere development, and the Trace-Face-Embrace-Grace process operate effectively in online sessions. Primary markets are the Netherlands, Belgium, UK, and Germany, with international clients globally.
How long before measurable results emerge? Initial structural shifts — patterns that were reliably present under pressure no longer reliably present — typically emerge within 8-12 sessions of consistent depth work. The full 9-12 month engagement produces changes that continue to compound after the formal coaching concludes.
What makes this executive leadership coaching different from other depth approaches? The combination of three converging careers — 15 years in enterprise sales (banking and insurance), 15 years in programme management, and 15 years in executive coaching — means the inner development work is simultaneously commercially grounded, systemically aware, and reaching the depth level where the constraint actually lives. Most depth coaching lacks the commercial and systemic grounding. Most commercial coaching lacks the depth. This approach integrates all three.

Executive leadership coaching that produces structural change works at the level where the structure of the pattern actually lives — not at the surface of behavior and communication, but at the inner charge level where the stored fear and anger from early life is generating the pattern that previous coaching has not permanently resolved. The three-level diagnostic, the six assessments, and the two-programme development container at 2thepointcoach.com are built specifically for this level. For senior leaders whose primary constraint is at Level 3 — and for most experienced leaders who have already invested in conventional coaching, it is — this is what executive leadership coaching at the right depth looks like.
