What is Executive Coaching?

Executive and performance coaching is a partnership to explore a set of mental frameworks one uses and relies upon to make decisions currently, and illuminates them, disassembles them and then reframes them.

Executive coaching is done “1:1” as custom leadership development for senior executives, leaders and high potential individuals. The leader works with a professional executive coach on their goals, challenges, strengths and areas for continued personal and professional development. Through trust, the coach and client create a partnership that allows the leader to gain greater self-awareness through self-inquiry, tap into their greatest potential, broaden their leadership skills and change behavior.


This personalized approach and attention to leadership development acts as a catalyst to enhance individual performance and thus the overall performance of the teams and organizations the client leads.

Coaching-Inspired Leadership. What is it?

Leaders who implement a coaching ethos within their organizations, and act as coaches in their leadership style enhance communication, engagement from their peers and employees and improve results at the triple bottom line.

Key Components of Coaching-Style Leadership

The backbone of coaching-based leadership is partnership and collaboration. When leaders act like coaches, hierarchy, directorial behavior, control and demand give way to collaboration and creativity. Blame becomes feedback and learning, and external motivators are transformed into self-motivation.

Leaders who act as coaches bring self-actualization to their people, letting their employees take responsibility by allowing them to make choices where possible, providing balance and support while also challenging them. This creates an environment people want to stay in, improves retention, reduces stress as employees feel more in control.

​According to a 2018 survey by The Conference Board, the employment of coaching is on the rise within organizations. Leaders who use a coaching style create more leaders within their organizations, creating a pool of talent for succession planning and filling roles with people who have institutional knowledge.
