Liability Insurance for Executive & Leadership Coaches

This includes allegations involving leadership development, communication, decision-making, goal setting, team coaching, performance-focused coaching, or other executive and leadership coaching services.

APC coverage includes up to $2 million each occurrence / $4 million aggregate per member, subject to policy terms, conditions, and exclusions.

General Liability protects executive and leadership coaches against bodily injury and property damage claims connected to your coaching business.
