The E•L•E•V•A•T•E Coaching Model™ is Artemis Executive Partners' signature leadership development framework, a seven-step coaching methodology designed to transform managers from task-oriented supervisors into coaching-centered leaders who drive engagement, develop talent, and produce measurable results.
Developed by Johanna Watson (CEO of Artemis Executive Partners, ICF-certified executive coach, and featured speaker at the 2025 Gulf Coast HR Symposium), ELEVATE is built on proven coaching frameworks that enhance engagement and retention through empowerment.
The shift from managing to coaching is not soft skills. It is the difference between a team that executes and a team that evolves.
Stronger Retention
Leaders who coach retain more committed, higher-performing teams
Better Conversations
Coaching conversations replace directive, top-down management
Proactive Teams
Teams solve problems independently instead of waiting for answers
Faster Onboarding
New hires reach full contribution faster with coaching support
"High performers do not leave companies. They leave managers who give answers instead of asking questions, who focus on what is wrong instead of what is possible."
Johanna C. Watson, President & CEO, Artemis Executive Partners

Frequently Asked Questions
Training & Development Questions, Answered
ELEVATE is Artemis Executive Partners' proprietary seven-step coaching framework (Engage, Listen, Explore, Vision, Action, Transform, Evaluate) developed by CEO Johanna Watson. It transforms managers into coaching-centered leaders who drive engagement, retain talent, and produce measurable business results. The model is available in three implementation tiers: a 90-day sprint, a 6-month comprehensive journey, and a train-the-trainer certification for internal scaling.
Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation where we learn your challenges, team dynamics, culture, and goals. From there, we design a program proposal within 48 hours that includes customized case studies, role-play scenarios, and discussion topics specific to your industry and real challenges. Nothing is off the shelf. We partner with your HR and talent team to ensure immediate relevance and buy-in from participants.
It depends on the tier. The 90-Day Sprint includes a one-day kickoff workshop plus six bi-weekly group coaching sessions with interim assignments. The 6-Month Journey includes monthly half-day workshops plus monthly one-on-one coaching sessions. The Train-the-Trainer certification is a three-day intensive plus observed practicums. All programs are designed to integrate with work schedules, not compete with them.
We define success metrics with you before the program begins. Common metrics include improvement in employee engagement scores, reduction in voluntary turnover for participating managers' teams, participant feedback scores, and internal promotion rates. We administer pre- and post-program assessments and can coordinate with your HR team for engagement survey data. A detailed outcomes report is provided at program conclusion.
Yes. All programs are available in person, virtually, or as a hybrid blend. Virtual delivery uses interactive formats designed to maintain engagement and connection, not passive webinars. One-on-one coaching sessions are typically conducted via video for scheduling flexibility. We will recommend the format that best fits your team's needs and geography.
Programs are led by Johanna Watson (CEO, ICF-certified executive coach, 20+ years of experience) and Artemis's team of seasoned coaches and consultants. Johanna is the architect of the ELEVATE model and a featured speaker at the 2025 Gulf Coast HR Symposium. Your leaders will learn from professionals who have coached executives across Fortune 500 companies, growth-stage businesses, and PE-backed portfolio companies.
