FAQ.

This is determined by the individual needs of the client. Some clients need a minimum of six months to achieve a major change in their mindset and behaviour. Other clients can work with a coach for years to achieve and sustain an evolving set of personal and professional goals.

The goal of an executive coach is to help leaders reach their professional goals, overcome ongoing struggles, and ultimately set them up for success in the future. Executive coaches help their clients by:

• Serving as a trusted adviser and mentor who supports the executive in developing strategies to solve their problems and ultimately achieving peak performance.
• Providing structured and focused conversations to help them improve their job performance.
• Helping the executive manage stress, feel more self-confident, and develop effective leadership skills.
• Holding the client accountable for taking actions necessary to reach their own chosen goals.

Professional executive coaching can be hugely beneficial for clients. Benefits of executive coaching include:

• Improved alignment between personal and professional values
• Improved team performance
• Improved leadership communication skills
• Improved collaboration
• Improved self-awareness and empathy
• Improved team and company culture
• Improved coaching skills

It varies. Some individuals will pay for themselves, while some companies will pay for their employees. You can talk to your company to find out if they offer assistance with executive coaching.

What you measure will depend on your goals. Some goals might have key performance indicators that you can evaluate at the beginning and end of the process, while other goals might be measured through one-on-one meetings with team members.

Ultimately, the success of any coaching is for you to commit and own your actions and results and acknowledge and address your “backdoors” that hold you back from unlocking the change you seek.

You’ll establish a regular cadence of executive coaching sessions with your coach. These sessions will progress over time, starting with goal setting, strategy development, and reflection on your progress. With each session, talk to your coach about your challenges.

The role of the coach in these sessions is to create a psychologically safe environment for you to experience all the sensations of your body, emotions and language and provide you with unbiased views and serve as a sounding board.

Team coaching helps teams reach their goals while creating a sustainable environment that cultivates engagement, team health and success.
