Executive Coaching: What is it, anyway?

People sometimes ask: What exactly is Executive Coaching? Here’s my answer.

Executive Coaching is a confidential and safe space that requires the coach to be fully present for the coachee and to demonstrate that presence by keenly observing, profoundly questioning and astutely paraphrasing.

It means listening to understand and illustrating that understanding with empathy and without judgement.

It means speaking with intention and helping others to discover their own answers as a thinking partner while bringing heightened levels of self-awareness and performance. 

It holds people capable knowing that only they know what’s right for them (even if they don’t know it yet) — it is the coach’s job to help discover and unearth their truth (not ours).

It helps people to truly learn who they are right now, to unearth their authentic selves, motivations and obstacles … so they can become who they want to be. It’s a meet-you-where-you-are-first-to-get-you-where-you-want-to-go type of journey.

And it all leads to helping clients achieve new levels of self awareness, performance and peace.
