What is Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching is a leadership development intervention. Individuals in leadership positions, entrepreneurs, business owners, and organizations investing in leadership development engage an Executive Coach. A certified executive coach provides a safe, confidential, and challenging environment for the client (Individual/Team) to gain clarity about self, goals, roadblocks. The coach and the client co-create a roadmap to achieve the desired objective in an empowering manner. The coach also is an accountability partner in change. The coach assists the clients in his journey with appropriate resources and tools.
The coaching process is client-centric. The client lifts the weight to build his leadership muscles. A coach is not a consultant, mentor, or a therapist and does not provide solutions.
