What we DO
We identify the best high potential talent in the market and work closely with them over their careers to help them reach their full potential. We make no distinction between candidate and client. Instead, we see this as a long-term journey we share with the people we work with. At some stages they will be navigating their own career path, and at other times they’ll be looking to build their own high performing team. We’re here to enable their success throughout the entire journey.
What we offer
We offer three core services, each providing a unique solution, but when brought together form a powerful catalyst to transform performance:
Executive Search
Executive Coaching
Executive Development
Executive Search
BreslinLeCoic serves clients who want great leaders capable of creating exceptional performance and sustained competitive advantage across their organisation.
Great executive search is characterised by disciplined structured assessment of facts, combined with instincts that have been finely honed over many years that enable conversations around motivation, potential, culture fit and purpose. Most professionals can assess skills and experience. Very few can get past the head and into the heart of a person. Everything we do is about finding, supporting and advising the best talent on their careers. By serving this greater purpose first, we are subsequently able to connect those very rare and highly talented individuals with the best CEOs and CPOs. Our understanding of the great individual and the great organisation is our nexus.
It’s not just who you know, it’s how well you know them.
We believe that identifying suitable candidates for a specific role is only a small part of the challenge. While individuals may have the right experience, what’s also vital is to acquire a deep understanding of their underlying motivations and career aspirations. We have developed a unique assessment methodology, which enables us to assess behavioural traits, past performance, future potential and motivations. This is overlaid against our HR leadership architecture ensuring we have gained the deepest insights possible.
It’s about knowing more than who is the best candidate and being able to answer the more critical question: who is the best fit candidate?
Oriented or disoriented?
Newly appointed executives are a big investment of your time and money. Ensuring you get the fastest return on your investment is clearly not a radical idea, it is just good common sense. We know from years of experience, that a well-structured program of on-boarding ensures rapid integration and speed to productivity of your new hire. Depending on the complexity of each situation, we may recommend a variety of programs designed to ensure the fastest and smoothest transition.
Executive Coaching
All executive coaching services at BreslinLeCoic are carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual leader and their organisation. Our highly experienced coaching team are experts in orienting individuals in unfamiliar leadership landscapes, guiding them onto the right development pathways, and ultimately, securing measurable behavioural change.
We regularly partner with leaders who are progressing into C-suite positions or stepping up to broader, more demanding divisional or international roles. These leaders are able to tap into our specialty domains of both Mentoring and Onboard coaching as required.
While timeframes and content are tailored to each individual, our standard programs usually span six months to a year with three-way (participant, direct manager & coach) sessions at kick-off and wrap-up. Coaching sessions are held regularly, usually for 2 hours per session.
Our practical coaching approach is about much more than increasing insight or awareness through feedback on various assessment tools. Practical principles that guide our coaching services are:
Recognising and optimising personal strengths
Revealing and appreciating how other people experience the leader
Exploring realistic solutions and removing potential barriers
Maintaining tight focus on practice, deployment and embedding of new skills and approaches
Striving for real, observable and sustainable leadership growth
Executive Leadership Development
Every successful executive has to earn the right to lead. You don’t “get” a leadership position; you display your ability to step up into it. However, some paths better prepare than others. Running a business and being the front line to the customer is about as good a path as there is, but many great leaders have come up through the functional areas of Finance, Marketing, Strategy, Legal and so on. Technology has risen in recent times and HR lagged. Why? Largely because HR has been the least mature of the functional areas, even struggling to consistently describe itself and its activities. Trapped in a reactive mode and unable to anticipate and therefore advise on strategy, it is the one area most in need of leadership development. This is why we have invested years in analysing and diagnosing this gap, then designing and building a program that helps to close it.
We are fortunate to be able to collaborate on this with the best leadership consultants in the country, or indeed anywhere in the world.
This has resulted in the world’s first Executive Leadership Program (ELP) for HR . The program combines a development stage (3 day residential) with 6-months of executive coaching. This invitation only program is currently being offered to select clients of the firm, with the intent to make it publicly available in the future.
