Coaching.

For over 30 years, we've worked with organizations of all sizes to embed a culture of coaching. Our leadership development programs are designed to meet learners in-person, virtually, in blended learning journeys, or asynchronously so that everyone can learn to coach like the best.

  • 3x4 Coaching is one of the best leadership development experiences I have seen. It is at the heart of large programs that we deliver in some of the world’s leading energy, banking, and manufacturing companies and we consistently get exceptional feedback. The model is practical, grounded in both research and practice – and when it’s brought to life by Third Factor’s world-class facilitators, the results are transformational.

  • From helping our clients learn about resilience, the power of pressure and agility by playing sledge hockey in the Rocky Mountains to helping our leaders become world-class coaches, Third Factor's faculty and programs are a driving force in influencing our culture. When I think of high performance, I think of Third Factor.
