Executive Coaching

Executive coaching is a form of business coaching which is typically aimed at developing senior managers, directors and key players within a business setting. It may enhance current performance, taking skills and abilities to a new level and help individuals adapt to new situations or it may address poor performance.

The coaching itself may address personal as well as business issues which impinge upon work and is typically carried out on a one to one basis often by a coach external to rather than employed by the organisation. For these reasons this typ of coaching is relatively expensive and is therefore reserved for developing senior managers within an organisation from whom it is perceived a return on investment will be seen.

Executive coaching may be beneficial if you…

• are a business owner or director needing an independent and impartial sounding board to help you make important decisions
• are a manager wanting to take your level of achievement to new level
• are having difficulties in managing your team or employees
• are faced with personal difficulties which are preventing you from working effectively
• are a ‘high flyer’ and want to develop your full potential
• need to address your own roles and performance and in an organisation undergoing organisational change.
