1. Center for Creative Leadership
The Center for Creative Leadership is a global leadership development organisation whose Asia-Pacific headquarters sits at The Concourse on Beach Road, where it runs one-to-one coaching in private rooms alongside its leadership programmes.

2. Executive Coach International
Founded in 2004 by Kelvin Lim, Executive Coach International describes itself as one of Singapore's longest-standing coaching academies and is accredited by the International Coaching Federation. Its coaches hold ICF Professional Certified Coach and Master Certified Coach credentials, and its executive coaching targets high-potential employees, new leaders and senior managers working on communication, team leadership, strategic thinking and conflict resolution. The firm serves both individuals and multinational organisations, and also trains coaches through its own ICF-accredited programmes.
3. IECL (Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership)
IECL operates across Asia-Pacific including Singapore, offering C-suite coaching that it says is designed to support and challenge an executive's understanding of their role. It delivers one-to-one executive coaching, team coaching and ICF-accredited coach training, with pathways to ICF ACC, PCC and MCC credentials. The institute works with organisations to build coaching capability among leaders and teams, and positions individual coaching as a long-term investment in senior-leader effectiveness rather than a short intervention.
4. i-GROW Partners
i-GROW Partners is a Singapore leadership development firm whose executive coaches are International Coaching Federation credentialed, several at Professional Certified Coach level. It offers targeted engagements for CEOs and senior executives navigating strategic challenges, decision-making and executive-team dynamics, alongside one-to-one coaching aimed at developing an individual's leadership style and emotional intelligence. The firm also runs team coaching and supports organisations building internal coaching capability, positioning itself around corporate leadership transformation rather than off-the-shelf programmes.
5. Collective Change Institute
Collective Change Institute is a Singapore firm and an ICF-approved coach-training provider whose coaching panel includes Professional Certified and Associate Certified Coaches. Its executive and leadership coaching frames the coach as a neutral sounding board rather than a teacher, helping leaders examine problems objectively rather than receive advice. The institute offers one-to-one executive coaching, team coaching and a Coaching Manager programme for organisations, and says it has worked with clients across banking, shipping, technology and finance.
6. The Coach Partnership
Based at 150 Cecil Street, The Coach Partnership provides executive coaching grounded in the ontological, Newfield tradition, on the premise that shifting how a leader perceives the world changes how they act. Its coaches hold ICF credentials at Professional Certified Coach level or above, and one-to-one engagements for senior leaders typically run six to twelve months. For sponsored corporate engagements, the firm sets confidentiality agreements defining what sponsors hear and what stays private between coach and client.

7. ACESENCE Agile Leadership
ACESENCE Agile Leadership is a Singapore coaching practice built around what it calls agile leadership and a Five Inner Voices framework. It works with senior managers under 'sandwich' pressure, women leaders, executives moving into new roles and high performers seeking advancement, describing its style as forward-facing and personalised rather than curriculum-based. Coaching sessions typically run every four to six weeks across three to six months, and the founder says she has coached leaders from nearly 40 countries since 2012.
8. The Happy Mondays
The Happy Mondays is a Singapore leadership coaching practice at 105 Cecil Street that describes its approach as evidence-based, drawing on leadership, branding and HR experience together with neuroscience, behavioural science, psychology and mindfulness. Its Discover-Learn-Grow method focuses on self-awareness, strategy and action, and it works with professionals stepping into leadership roles, building executive presence or navigating peer-to-manager transitions. Coaching begins with a discovery call and continues through personalised one-to-one sessions with customisable programme lengths.

The Gain Lab is a Singapore-based consultancy whose coaches are all International Coaching Federation certified. It works with business leaders at SMEs and multinationals across Asia-Pacific, tying coaching to clear business outcomes through what it describes as a structured, evidence-backed partnership with action-oriented steps and continuous feedback. Its focus spans leadership development and guiding founders and regional heads through change and digital transformation, drawing on coaches it says bring their own senior-executive experience.
10. Coaching4Companies
Coaching4Companies, or C4C, is an executive and leadership coaching firm with offices including Singapore alongside Hong Kong, Shanghai and Brisbane. It offers one-to-one, team and group coaching for CEOs, boards, managing directors and managers, framing its work around unlocking leadership potential and improving how teams perform. The firm says it has worked with more than 1,000 executives in Singapore and internationally, and pairs individual coaching with broader organisational transformation rather than treating them separately.
11. Paradigm21 Executive Coaching Academy
Paradigm21 Executive Coaching Academy, a division of the Paradigm21 Group established in 2006, operates across Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States and describes itself as an ICF-accredited education organisation. Beyond ICF Level 1 and Level 2 coach certification, it provides executive coaching, leadership coaching, team coaching and talent assessments. Its methodology blends adult learning, NLP, emotional intelligence, solution-focused thinking, positive psychology and neuroscience, and it names a dedicated director of training for its ICF-accredited programmes in Singapore.
How to choose
- Check the coach's professional credentials, since many senior coaches in Singapore hold International Coaching Federation (ICF) marks such as ACC, PCC or MCC, or EMCC accreditation; ask which the individual coach personally holds, not only what the firm advertises.
- Match the coaching to your need, because individual leadership coaching, C-suite or executive-transition coaching, and team coaching are different engagements; be clear whether you want personal development, help through a transition, or a team intervention.
- Weigh chemistry and fit, as coaching is a confidential relationship; most firms offer a chemistry or discovery call, and it is normal to meet two or three coaches before deciding.
- Confirm the practical format, including session length and frequency, whether coaching is one-to-one, group or team-based, in person or virtual, and how many months the engagement is expected to run.
- For corporate engagements, clarify who sponsors the coaching and what the sponsor will and will not hear, so the confidentiality that makes coaching effective is protected.
- Ask whether assessments or 360-degree feedback tools are used, how they are debriefed, and how progress against your goals will be reviewed over the course of the engagement.
