Executive Coaching
Executive Coaching with Dr. Rob Faw
Executive coaching is the deepest, most direct work Rob does. It's where forty years of leadership experience, a PhD in organizational leadership, and a board-certified master coaching practice come together around one purpose. Helping executives grow into the leaders their organizations need them to be.
The work is tailored to each client. Some executives come for sharper thinking on a specific decision. Others want a thinking partner across a season of transition, growth, or organizational change. Many are simply ready to be more intentional about how they lead, communicate, and execute. Whatever the entry point, the coaching meets you where you are and moves you toward where you want to go.
Two convictions shape every engagement. Leadership is behavior, not position. And there is no alternative to personal and professional growth. If those convictions resonate, you're already most of the way to being a fit for this work.
Operator. scholar. coach.
Rob has spent forty years leading at the highest levels of business. As a chief executive of global technology companies, he led growth, transformation, capital formation, and team building across more than fifty countries and industries from technology, construction, and real estate to Fortune 500 enterprises and nonprofits. His leadership produced triple-digit revenue growth, raised hundreds of millions in capital across private equity, venture capital, and public markets, and built high-performing teams that delivered in dynamic and challenging environments. That experience is what he brings to every coaching conversation.
That operating experience is the foundation, but it's not the whole picture. Rob holds a PhD in organizational leadership from Liberty University, a master's in global leadership from the University of San Diego, and a board certification as a master coach. He is the founder of Catalyst Network, a community of more than 500 leaders growing together, and the author of multiple books on leadership and value creation. His coaching draws on all of it. The boardroom, the academy, and the community.
What clients say sets the work apart is the combination. Few coaches have operated at this scale. Few executives at this scale have the academic depth to back it up. The result is coaching that is both grounded in real operating experience and informed by the research on what actually drives leadership growth. Practical and rigorous, applied and disciplined.
the first conversation
Every coaching engagement begins with a conversation. No commitment, no sales pitch, just a chance for both of us to determine whether the chemistry, the timing, and the fit are right for the work ahead. Coaching is a serious relationship, often lasting six months to a year or more, and it deserves a serious first call. The best engagements start when both coach and client know the match is right before any work begins.
If you're an executive considering coaching, a founder navigating the next chapter, or a leader at the top of your organization looking for a thinking partner you can trust, reach out. Tell Rob a bit about where you are, what you're working on, and what you're hoping coaching could help you do. The first call is typically thirty to forty-five minutes by phone or video. You'll learn how Rob works and what an engagement looks like. Rob will learn enough about your situation to know whether he's the right coach for the work ahead.
The work is real, the standard is high, and the expectations are mutual. Coaching with Rob is for leaders who are ready to be honest about where they are, clear about where they want to go, and willing to put in the daily work that closes the gap. If you're ready to engage at that level, Rob is ready to talk. Email rob@robfaw.com or use the contact form to start the conversation.
