Our Culture

In a service business, what you’re like inside affects what you deliver outside. We operate an open, learning, collegiate, outward looking culture that encourages individuality, creativity, collaboration and contribution. It creates a positive atmosphere that many of our clients remark upon. For them, our environment is like a welcome breath of fresh air. They feel good to be part of it.

So we only appoint people whose integrity and personal values fit – and who have a passion for helping others succeed. This applies to our Partners, our support staff and our Associates. In that way, Praesta doesn’t only have great people. It also has a very special team.

Praesta International

Whoever you are, wherever you are, if you work with Praesta you will benefit from executive coaching at its best. We have worked with over 6000 leaders in some of the greatest organisations in the world such as AXA, Deutsche Bank, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, PWC, Shell, Vodafone and Walt Disney. They chose us because we are good at what we do – helping senior people rise to challenges and raise their game.

Our experience, scale, ethics, professionalism and commitment to quality make us the leaders in executive coaching. We know what leading and working in an organisation is about, because our coaches have held senior positions themselves. And our presence in so many countries equips us to work across continents and cultures, as well in our own back yards. So we can deliver global programmes as well as work with the business next door.
