CFAR’S COACHING PRACTICE
YESTERDAY AND TODAY

CFAR’s Coaching Practice builds on the work of Dr. Richard Levin, who is widely recognized as one of the first executive coaches and among a half-dozen global leaders who created and shaped the coaching profession since its inception in the 1980s. In 2019, Richard Levin & Associates formally joined CFAR after many years of fruitful cross-organizational collaboration, integrating executive coaching and strategic leadership consultation.

The practice was founded with the belief that executive coaching successfully enhances the performance of current executives and high potential new leaders when delivered within the context of an organization’s strategic objectives. Through the decades, CFAR has built a large network comprised of some of the nation’s leading executive coaches, making it unique in its ability to integrate coaching and consulting practices.

CFAR’s coaches bring deep expertise across industries and sectors. The practice has earned the trust of clients including family businesses, non-profit organizations, healthcare systems, global corporations, foundations, government agencies, and professional services firms. Through careful matching of leaders with experts from a network of nearly 50 independent and experienced coaches worldwide, CFAR ensures the right fit to achieve optimal results.

The practice is fueled by collaboration and creativity—not only between clients and coaches, but also within the coaching network itself. Through honesty, integrity, and a steadfast display of respect, CFAR’s coaches help leaders grow both personally and professionally, with a commitment to strengthening civil discourse, diversity, and inclusivity.

Today, CFAR’s Coaching Practice continues to help executives thrive as results-oriented visionaries, expanding their abilities to navigate complexity, enhance their organization’s culture, create aligned teams, and strengthen their capacity to lead. The practice maintains its founding principles while evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of modern leadership and today’s business landscape.

The synergy between our coaching and consulting practice is one of the biggest distinctions in our work and is a key ingredient for accelerated success for our clients.  Our combined approach allows us to work with individuals, teams and the organization simultaneously, putting together expert consultation on an organization’s most pressing opportunities with one-on-one coaching to help build the skills of the people responsible for advancing the work.

Our coaches come into each client and situation with a bespoke approach whereby listening is our greatest tool and increased self-awareness and behavioral shifts are the byproduct of constructive change.   We deeply value our relationships and take great pride in partnering with our clients in their times of greatest need ranging from undergoing transition, strategic alignment, organizational changes and overall challenging situations.  We are here to help.
