A structured, confidential partnership to help a leader reach specific goals and improve performance.

Leaders with clear goals and an openness to feedback are more likely to implement initiatives successfully, shift unhealthy cultures, and enjoy their work more.

The possibilities are vast, and every coach-coachee pair should set their own unique goals. Some common areas that leaders focus on in coaching include: role transitions, strategic clarity, communication, influence, team health, burnout, and decision speed.

Mentors give answers from their experience. Coaches ask targeted questions and build your capability. Therapy treats clinical or past issues. Coaching focuses on goals, behavior, and the future at work. Consultants deliver solutions. Coaches help you create and execute your own solutions.

While every coaching arrangement is unique, most coaching relationships last four to six months. With two, one-hour virtual sessions a month, you will surface your challenges, set goals, learn and apply tools, and assess your progress. There is often homework for participants to complete on their own time.

Many employees prefer to work with a third-party coach for confidentiality and objectivity. However, when the employer funds and initiates the coaching arrangement, some goals and information are shared. In all coaching relationships, terms are established up front.
