What is an Executive Coach?
An Executive Coach often partner with C-Suite Executives or Vice-Presidents to aid in the process of optimizing their functionality in their leadership and/or management role as well as more effectively and efficiently manage in today’s everchanging workplace environment. An Executive Coach partners to support leaders to enhance their effectiveness and their organization as a whole. Executive Coaches acts as an unbiased sounding board, listening when partnering with an Executive who for example is working through decisions and/or wanting to grow personally by guiding and supporting Executives to becoming more aware about how to reach their decisions, develop their own solutions, and achieve their goals.
As an Executive you are already considered an exceptional performer and partnering with an Executive Coach will aid in the process of honing your skills; identifying areas of improvement for optimization; and discover any hidden blind spots as well as reveal critical data and feedback other may be otherwise uncomfortable openly and candidly sharing. An Executive Coach can also provide coaching expertise associated with scale. For example, you go from leading/managing five people to 100, or from 500 to 5,000, it is critical that you shift the way you lead/manage, how you manage your time, how you delegate, etc.
