What is executive coaching?

Executive leadership coaching is the process of facilitating and accelerating an individual’s professional growth, productivity, and fulfillment. A skilled coach can help you take strategic actions to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

How can I use coaching?

Leadership coaching is a way of committing to your personal, continual growth. You can benefit from a coach at any point in your career. Most people use coaching for:

Ongoing development: Set goals for yourself and work on the management skills that will help you become the leader you aspire to be.

Situational support: Know that whichever challenge your work throws at you, you’ll have a coach by your side who can help you talk through tough situations, prepare for a big meeting or a difficult conversation.

Career planning: Your coach can be your thought partner when it comes to planning your next career move, and they can help you set actionable goals to get where you want to go next.

Overcoming internal blocks to success: Your coach can help you identify limiting beliefs that are keeping you from taking your career and life to the next level. Coaching provides a safe space to clarify and move beyond these inner blocks, with a combination of insight and supported action.

Improving professional relationships and communications: Your coach partners with you to close the gap between how things are, and how you would like them to be with respect to effective communication and productive, harmonious relationships with colleagues.

Could I benefit from coaching?

The best athletes have coaches, and the best leaders should too. We all have room to grow, and we could do so much better with an experienced partner to help us on the journey.

Coaches can help us in many ways, but two of the most fundamental ones are:

• They have a different perspective from ours. Often, we are limited in our growth by limited self-awareness. A coach can see the situation in a way we can’t.
  
• They are on your team. A coach can fundamentally be your advocate and yet independent from you in a way that is different from anyone else.

Coaching can be leveraged for almost any challenge or situation, but some common use cases include:

• Develop a vision and set a plan to realize it.
• Overcome an obstacle that has you feeling stuck.
• Increase self-awareness and discover the beliefs that limit you.
• Develop deeper and more satisfying career relationships.
• Become more efficient in your regular work, so you don’t feel behind and overwhelmed.
• Rebuild momentum for an existing goal.
• Re-align your actions and your ideas, and hold yourself accountable to your goals.
• Take your greatest strengths to the next level.
• Deal with a major change or challenge you face.

Challenges like these may be constantly in the back of your mind, but you’re too busy to attend to them and find answers. Coaching is designed to help you identify your areas of potential and to cultivate the skills you need to achieve your goals.
