Leadership Coaching

For starters, feelings of isolation and loneliness tend to be increasingly common as you climb the corporate ladder, because fewer people can relate to the responsibility and associated stress. While most leaders initially turn to an executive coach to address a particular issue or grow in a certain area, they may quickly realize that the coaching relationship also helps mitigate their feelings of isolation and loneliness. 

Another potential benefit of partnering with an executive coach that tends to fly under the radar is the opportunity to build an executive’s thought leadership. An executive coach can partner with your executive(s) to decide how to ensure they show up well on LinkedIn and other social media platforms, what conferences to present at and other strategies to deploy to grow their brand and online presence. 

An additional hidden benefit of working with an executive coach is refining executive communication skills and influencing abilities. Most leaders can use support in becoming better communicators and influencers, and coaches can help with this. There are a plethora of opportunities to improve an executive’s presence when working with an executive coach.

There’s a common misconception that executive coaches only focus on blind spots.  Like a sports coach, an executive coach can guide the coachee in effectively playing to their strengths. This allows them to operate in their zone of genius as often as possible, allowing them to be more efficient at work (and in life).

Executive coaches don’t tell leaders what to do, or how they’re supposed to lead teams or organizations. Rather, they provide support in identifying available options, weighing the benefits and risks, and creating a path forward. In other words, an executive coach empowers the executive to be the best leader possible.
