What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching helps leaders maximise their performance for business impact. Through coaching, executives get laser focused on what they want to achieve, develop a better understanding of what’s holding them back and come up with solutions to deliver enhanced performance.
The role of the coach is to listen, probe, challenge and reflect, thereby encouraging the client to come up with their own solutions to the issues they’re facing.
Some of the world’s leading executives think executive coaching is a must. Reflecting on his decision to use an executive coach, Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO said “Every famous athlete, every famous performer has somebody who’s a coach. Somebody who can watch what they’re doing and say, “Is that what you really meant? Did you really do that?” They can give them perspective. The one thing people are never good at is seeing themselves as others see them. A coach really, really helps”.
