EXECUTIVE COACHING FAQs

What happens when you hire a coach?

• You take yourself more seriously.
• You take more effective and focused actions immediately.
• You stop putting up with what is dragging you down.
• You create momentum so it's easier to get results.
• You set better goals that you might not have without the coach.

How does an executive coach evaluate my needs and the needs of my company?

Coaches utilize a wide variety of assessment tools to learn about the specific areas in which you can be more effective. Typically, they conduct interviews with your management, colleagues, and staff; use 360-degree feedback tools, shadow coaching and other related self-evaluation assessments.

A key to the success of this process is a meeting between you, your boss and the coach at the start of the coaching engagement. During that meeting, an open dialogue takes place between the three of you to discuss and agree on your specific development goals. It is that very level of open and honest discussion and agreement that further ensures success in the process.
