Chief Launches COACHING, Powered by Chief, as More Leaders Face Career Crossroads

Chief's first offering available beyond its membership matches a broader audience of senior leaders with its network of 80+ executive coaches 

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chief – the largest, vetted community of senior women leaders – today launched COACHING, Powered by Chief, a new platform that matches senior leaders one-on-one with coaches from its network of more than 80 executive coaches. Through the years, Chief has built its coaching expertise inside a community of accomplished women leaders. COACHING, Powered by Chief marks the first time those services are available to leaders outside of the Chief membership.

"The future of work is being rewritten right now, and our goal is to evolve with the people navigating it," said Alison Moore, CEO of Chief. "Our coaches have carried Chief members through big decisions and even bigger transitions. Now we're opening that support to more leaders."

For many, ambition today is about direction as much as advancement. Careers are getting longer, less linear and more self-directed, with more decision points along the way: a transition, a new role, a high-stakes strategic call. Chief sees coaching as a way to accelerate that ambition. As more work is automated with AI, human judgment carries even more weight, and human perspective becomes an indispensable tool. COACHING, Powered by Chief is built for the questions technology can't answer, and centers on what a leader wants next in their career journey. 

"I've leaned on my executive coach at pivotal moments in my career," said Moore. "Ambition tells you to go. A great coach helps you figure out where, and how to get there faster."

How it works

Leaders are matched with coaches from Chief's network based on their individual needs and career goals. Coaches are experienced in a number of areas, including transitions, consequential career decisions and leading through change. Every coach holds an International Coaching Federation (ICF) or equivalently accredited credential, verified by Chief before a coach joins the network. After introductory matching sessions, leaders choose their coach and work together over six to 12 months, depending on the plan selected.

COACHING, Powered by Chief is available now at chief.com/coaching, where full plan options and details are listed.
