**Who is executive and team coaching for?**

CEOs, founders, C-suite leaders and their direct teams — typically in €5 million–€1 billion organisations that want faster, sustainable growth.

**How long is a standard engagement?**

The flagship sprint runs 6 months to a year, followed by quarterly integration support. One-day retreats and 12-month retainers are also available.

**Is the coaching done remotely?**

Yes. Sessions run via secure video, phone or in person. Global clients often mix virtual meetings with an annual Marbella intensive.

**Is everything confidential?**

Yes. Coaching is bound by ICF ethics and a signed NDA; only agreed-upon data is ever shared with stakeholders. I conduct all coaching sessions with strict confidentiality. I maintain a safe and trusting environment where you can openly explore challenges, ideas and aspirations without judgement.

**Do you use assessments?**

I use trusted inner-circle feedback loops and my Growth-Gap Audit to keep insights objective and actionable.

**How is success measured?**

We set lead and lag KPIs — typically decision speed, OKR completion and operational targets — and review as we progress.

**How do we get started?**

To begin, reach out via my contact page or schedule an introductory call. I will discuss your goals, assess how coaching can support you, and determine if it is the right fit for your needs.

**What results can we expect?**

Clients typically work on clearer strategy, quicker decisions and higher trust. Figures from businesses Linus has led describe his operating history, not a promised coaching result.

**What is executive coaching?**

I offer executive coaching as a personalised and confidential partnership designed to help you develop as an effective and productive leader. I focus on leadership capability, decision-making and personal development so that both the individual and the organisation can feel the difference.

**Who can benefit from executive coaching?**

I work with executives, senior leaders and high-potential professionals who are ready to raise their leadership practice, work through challenges, and grow in a way that lasts.

**How does your coaching approach work?**

My approach uses a transformational leadership coaching model that fosters lasting change by addressing both internal mindsets and external behaviours. I use this “inside-out” method to help leaders develop practical strategies they can use in the working week, not only in the session.

**What areas do you focus on during coaching?**

I guide people in clarifying their vision and purpose, working with fear, building self-confidence, stopping self-sabotaging behaviours, fostering resilience, driving goal achievement, and leading through life and career transitions with clarity.

**How long does the coaching process take?**

The duration of coaching varies depending on your goals and needs. Typically, my clients engage in a structured programme lasting from 6 months to a year, with regular sessions designed to build momentum and make the change last.

**What makes this coaching distinct?**

I bring an “inside-out” perspective shaped by years in the operating seat and in the coaching room, which lets me work leadership challenges at their core. My methods combine practical tools, psychological insight and strategic thinking to create change that lasts.

**What are the benefits of working with Linus Murphy?**

Clients often work on leadership effectiveness, decision-making, self-awareness, communication and a more sustainable week. Teams often gain cohesion, clarity and performance.
