What does an executive coach do?

Executive coaching can have a powerful impact on individual executives and your organization in general.

What Executive Coaches Do:

Coaching programs can be used to achieve many desired outcomes. These include developing high potential executives to ensure a consistently high-quality leadership pipeline, retaining and developing emerging talent, change and culture transformation within organizations, and career transition coaching.

A good executive coach partnered with an open and willing participant will be able to boost performance with a highly personalized approach. They focus on uncovering and accentuating existing talents, revealing and working through challenges, shifting mindset, and developing the skills needed to not only communicate and clarify a vision but to take consistent action towards realizing defined objectives.

Executive coaching is often a three-way partnership between the coach, the executive and the organization, meaning that personal objectives need to be aligned to the strategic goals of the organization and measurable outcomes need to be defined at the start of the process.

An executive coaching program will begin with a discovery or assessment phase which provides a huge body of information that can be used for self-reflection, discovery, the setting of goals and objectives, and the creation of a development plan.

Coaches will then have regular meetings or conversations with clients to provide accountability, develop talent, act as a sounding board. Confidentiality is key to this relationship and sessions may dip into personal areas as well as offering strategic advice.

Coaches can be a particularly valuable investment as the relationship focuses on making executives more competent and self-reliant, thus the benefits of executive coaching will be evident long after the relationship has ended.
