What is coaching?

Let’s face it. It is hard to be a leader in today’s environment. Organizations face more competition, the digital environment encourages us to always be available, and retaining talent is harder than ever. It seems the bar is constantly being raised in terms of expectations and results. What used to be enough is no longer sufficient. With no more hours available in a day, leaders need new strategies to be able to perform at their best without burning out.

Executive coaching is a highly effective tool for helping leaders to navigate the difficult, often stressful challenges they face. Coaches and clients establish a confidential and intentional relationship in which they focus on leadership competencies that will help move the client toward meeting their goals. Competencies frequently addressed in coaching include:

  • Establishing and sustaining high performing teams
  • Discovering and maintaining one’s authentic leadership presence, especially under stressful conditions
  • Learning techniques for having difficult, yet honest and constructive conversations
  • Developing skills for giving and accepting feedback
  • Gaining a more strategic perspective
  • Techniques for integrating work and life, to achieve more satisfaction in both.
