What is Executive Coaching?
How can businesses overcome challenges or profit from opportunities that require skills outside of a managers’ experience? Where can they get access to the expertise they need to further develop their business?
An effective answer is to seek the assistance of an experienced business coach. A coach is a mentor. Someone who holds you to account, offers support and assists business owners and senior managers to improve the way they grow their business.
An executive coach has knowledge, experience and skills in specific areas and industries and shares this knowledge with you. Typically coaches work with entrepreneurs, independent professionals, business owners and business managers.
Why Coaching?
The purpose of executive coaching is to enable a person to tap into his or her own internal resources in order to reach their full potential. The mentor–mentee relationship requires both skills transfer and counselling.
Coaching includes cultivating the whole person - their values, goals and passions. Well motivated and skilled people improve the bottom line of your business. Executive coaching is therefore a cost effective way to get the best out of your staff so that profits are maximised.
Who Benefits from Coaching?
“Executive coaches are not for the meek. They’re for people who value unambiguous feedback. All coaches have one thing in common; it’s that they are ruthlessly resultsoriented.” -- Fast Company Magazine.

Almost anyone can benefit from working with an executive coach, as long as they are committed to personal and professional development. It is suitable for junior managers through to the most senior directors and owners within a business. Depending on the subject, coaching will include one-on-one meetings, upskilling sessions and phone or email communication.
The Coach’s Role
A coach’s role is to listen, to counsel and to discuss with business owners and managers to assist in further developing their skills and capacity. A coach will usually begin by looking at the whole business to make sure they fully understand how it works. He will then, together with the client, identify a particular project or isolate key business problems before working out a range of possible approaches.
When the coach and the person being coached have decided on what actions to take, the coach will guide them through a seven-step implementation process. Personal and professional development is rarely successful without the support of other people. A coach is someone who can give feedback, question, discuss, challenge, comfort and guide.
