Who This Is For

Senior leaders preparing for situations where English has to be right.

Executive Coaching at Harland is for leaders preparing for high-stakes situations in English. Most clients are senior executives, founders, partners, or senior individual contributors at Taiwan-headquartered or Taiwan-based companies, but the common factor is the situation, not a particular title. What matters is whether your role places you in moments where the cost of getting your English wrong is significant. Industry is open.

Engagements are typically 1-on-1, with team-engagement possible when two or three senior colleagues are preparing together. The discovery call establishes which format fits.

What We Coach For

Specific situations, not generic capability.

Executive Coaching is project-scoped: every engagement targets a specific situation the leader needs to handle in English, well. Common situation categories include the following.

Negotiation
Cross-border negotiations
Board & Committee
Board, committee, and senior governance presentations
Investor & Analyst
Investor communications, analyst calls, capital raises
Keynote
International conference talks and industry keynotes
M&A
M&A discussions, integration meetings, deal close
Crisis & Media
Crisis communications, media interviews, public statements

How An Engagement Works

One coach, the situation in focus, confidentiality as a default.

Every engagement begins with a confidential discovery call between the leader and the Principal. The discovery call clarifies the situation, the timeline, and what handling it well looks like. From there, the leader is paired with a single coach for the duration of the engagement. The same coach sees the work through, learning the leader's voice, register, and the specifics of the situation.

Where two or three senior colleagues from the same organization are preparing for the same situation, team engagements follow the same single-coach principle: one coach across the engagement, not a rotating roster.

Confidentiality is the default condition of every engagement. The detail of how it is handled is covered in the questions below.

Engagement Scopes

Two engagement shapes, scoped during the discovery call.

Engagements fall into two broad shapes. Both are scoped against the situation and timeline, not against a standard package.

Shape 01 · Intensive Run-up

A 4 to 8 week engagement preparing for a specific upcoming situation.

A negotiation in three weeks, a board presentation next month, a keynote in six weeks. Session cadence is intensive, typically two to four sessions per week, scaled to the timeline. The work ends when the situation closes.

Shape 02 · Ongoing Retainer

A continuing relationship for leaders whose role generates a steady stream of high-stakes English situations.

Cadence is set during the discovery call, typically weekly to monthly. Retainers run until the leader steps back from the role or chooses to close the engagement. Scope can shift mid-course as the situation evolves; that conversation happens between the leader, the coach, and the Principal.

Out of Scope

What Executive Coaching is not.

Executive Coaching at Harland is project-scoped 1-on-1 coaching for senior leaders. It is not the following.

Not group or team training

We do not run corporate cohorts, lecture-style group classes, or large-team English programs. Where two or three senior colleagues engage together, the work remains 1-on-1, or small-team coaching for the leadership group, not corporate training.

Not generic business English

Executive Coaching is built around your specific high-stakes situation, not a standardized business English syllabus. If general workplace English is the goal, our Professional Communication program is the right fit.

Not for general professional development

The work is calibrated to specific high-stakes situations where the cost of getting your English wrong is significant. Adults developing their working English more broadly are better served by our Professional Communication program.

Not language assessment or certification

We do not administer corporate English proficiency assessments, nor do we prepare candidates for general business English certifications. Engagements are scoped to specific situations, not credential outcomes.

Common Questions

Common questions about Executive Coaching at Harland.

How is confidentiality handled? +
Confidentiality is the default condition of every engagement. Identifying information about clients, organizations, and situations does not leave the engagement: no case studies, no testimonials with names, no public references. NDAs are signed when required by the leader or their organization. Where confidentiality questions need more specific resolution, those are handled in the discovery call.
Who is Executive Coaching designed for? +
Executive Coaching is designed for leaders preparing for specific high-stakes situations in English: cross-border negotiations, board presentations, investor communications, international keynotes. The common factor is the situation, not a particular title. Most clients are senior executives, founders, partners, or senior individual contributors, but a senior project lead preparing for the biggest negotiation of their career fits this work just as well as a C-suite executive preparing for a board presentation. Adults developing their working English more broadly are better served by our Professional Communication program.
What industries and functional backgrounds do you coach? +
Industry is open. What matters more than industry is the specific situation: a leader preparing for an M&A negotiation and a leader preparing for an investor presentation face different work, but both are within our scope. Industry-specific vocabulary builds inside the engagement; situation-specific judgment is what the coaching develops.
What kinds of situations do you typically prepare leaders for? +
Common situations include cross-border negotiations, board and committee presentations, investor and analyst communications, international keynotes and conference talks, M&A discussions with foreign counterparts, and crisis communications. Less common but within scope: international media interviews, succession announcements, regulatory testimony, and senior recruitment conversations. If the situation is high-stakes, in English, and time-bounded, it likely fits.
How long does a typical engagement run? +
Engagements fall into two broad shapes. Intensive run-ups for a specific upcoming situation run 4 to 8 weeks, with cadence scaled to the timeline. Ongoing retainers for leaders whose roles generate continuous high-stakes English work run weekly to monthly until the leader steps back from the role. Both shapes are scoped during the discovery call.
How is the investment structured? +
Executive Coaching is project-scoped. The investment is set during the discovery call based on the specific situation, timeline, and engagement shape. We do not publish standard rates because no two engagements are the same: a 4-week intensive for a single keynote is a different scope than a 6-month retainer through an M&A close. The discovery call is where scope and investment are agreed.
