Executive PresenceAn illustrative ten-session program

Session 1 of 10

Every leader arrives with a reason, and the course starts there.

When an organization nominates a leader, it names the objective. Meridian uses it to recommend coaches and a track, and the coach comes back to it in the final review.

Added by the leader when they agree to take part. Example goals are illustrative.

Five stages, from the invitation to the final report.

Every Meridian program follows the same route. Each leader moves through it at their own pace, and the organization can see where every leader is without seeing what is said.

Illustrative session. Names are fictional. The organization sees neither screen, only that the session took place.

Five suites, thirty tracks, and the same six phases in every one.

Each suite holds six tracks. The leader and the coach agree on one at the chemistry session, so every leader leaves with a commitment they own.

2Choose one of its six tracks

    Whichever track a leader takes, the coach guides them through the same six phases, in order:

    2. IISurfacing
    3. IIIOwnership
    4. IVReckoning
    5. VIntention

    Matched by Meridian, chosen together.

    Meridian ranks every available coach against the leader’s profile. The leader and the program admin then choose one together, and test the fit in a free chemistry session.

      Weight is how much each factor counts, set by Meridian and adjustable by the program admin. Fit is how well this coach matches the leader on it.

      What is said in a session stays between the leader and the coach.

      Each person in a Meridian program sees what they need, and nothing more.

      Meridian, answered.

      The questions sponsors and HR teams ask most before a demo.

      What is Meridian?

      Meridian is Edstellar’s AI-assisted platform for one-on-one leadership coaching. Each leader works with one certified coach through a structured track of six phases, in a private session room, while the organization runs the program from its own portal.

      Who is Meridian for?

      Organizations that want to coach a group of their leaders at the same time, from first-time managers to senior executives. The organization nominates each leader and names the objective; the coaching itself belongs to the leader.

      How are coaches chosen?

      Meridian ranks every available coach against the leader’s profile using seven weighted factors, after three hard rules. The leader and the program admin then choose together in a 30-minute session, and the leader and coach test the fit in a free chemistry session before any coaching begins.

      What does AI-assisted mean in Meridian?

      Meridian ranks coaches for each leader, suggests questions from the live discussion for the coach to use or set aside, and prepares a draft report after each session. The coach decides what is asked and approves every report before the leader sees it.

      Can the organization see what is discussed?

      No. The organization sees attendance, session dates, coach assignment, credit use and outcomes, never what is said, written or recorded in a session. At the end, the leader chooses what goes into the summary the organization receives.

      How long does a Meridian program run?

      A typical program is ten to twelve one-hour sessions, about every two weeks, completed over six to eight months. The organization sets the number of sessions for each leader.

      What happens if the coach is not the right fit?

      If chemistry shows the fit is wrong, the leader goes back to matching and keeps every session. Later in the program, the leader can ask Edstellar in confidence for a different coach; the organization is told only that a change is under way.

      Is Meridian delivered online?

      Yes. Every session runs in the Meridian video room in the browser, with reminders before each session and messages for practical things in between.
