Talent development for Connecticut organizations that need real change, not another workshop.

Strong Professional is a talent development consultancy providing executive coaching, training, facilitation, and workplace assessments to organizations across Connecticut and the surrounding area. Our team has 20+ years of experience each, certified through ICF, CCL, Co-Active, and more. We work with leaders, managers, ICs, and teams at Connecticut-based companies, in person or virtual.

Why Connecticut teams work with us

Most coaching firms ask you to trust the process. We ask the people around your leader, and let them tell you what changed.
Every engagement pulls from our full bench, coaches with real leadership experience across industries, matched to what your team actually needs.

Coaching we offer

Not every coaching need looks the same, so we don’t offer just one option.

Executive Coaching runs the full arc for C-suite and senior leaders, stakeholder interviews, diagnostics, and a lead coach backed by bench specialists.

Partnership & Team Coaching helps co-founders, co-leaders, and cross-functional teams lead in sync instead of around each other.

Targeted Coaching solves one clear shift for directors, VPs, and senior managers in four to ten sessions.

For a single skill or a same-day need, Skill Coaching and On-Demand Coaching get people unstuck fast, no long engagement required. And our 3rd-Party 360 shows leaders the gap between how they lead and how their team experiences it.

Every engagement pulls from our full bench of certified coaches, matched to what the moment actually calls for. See our full coaching offerings here.

How we prove it worked

We don’t ask you to trust the process. Every engagement runs through the Strong Shift: we name the specific shift up front, check in with the people closest to the leader partway through, and document what actually moved by the end.

Beyond coaching

Coaching is just one way we help Connecticut companies:

Training, leadership, manager, and employee training that actually sticks.

Facilitation, team offsites, executive alignment, and strategic sessions.

Assessments, DiSC, 360-degree feedback, CliftonStrengths, and more.

Consulting, organizational design and strategic talent development.

Experiences, fully custom events, workshops, and simulations.

Frequently asked questions

Is Strong Professional one coach or a team?
Strong Professional is a team. We’re a talent development consultancy with a full bench of coaches, most with 20+ years of leadership experience. You’re matched to the right specialist for the moment, backed by the full bench’s range of expertise.

Does Strong Professional work with companies in Connecticut?
Yes. We provide executive coaching, training, facilitation, and assessments to organizations across Connecticut and the surrounding area, in person or virtual.

How much does executive coaching cost?
Executive coaching rates vary based on engagement structure and chosen coach ranging from monthly retainer or a defined number of sessions. Our pricing is commensurate with the market.

What’s the difference between Targeted Coaching and Executive Coaching?
Targeted coaching solves one clear shift in 4 to 10 sessions: a new role, a feedback pattern, a relationship at work. Executive coaching is the full arc, stakeholder interviews, diagnostics, a lead coach, and bench specialists brought in as the work moves, run as an ongoing retainer.

What else does Strong Professional offer besides coaching?
Training, facilitation, and workplace assessments, in addition to the coaching above. Most Connecticut clients use more than one.

How do I choose an executive coach in Connecticut?
Look for real leadership experience, not just a coaching certification, recognized credentials, and a clear way of measuring what changed. Ask what happens if the work isn’t landing, and how they’d know.
