FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

An executive coaching engagement is a highly personalized process designed to drive leadership growth and organizational impact. My executive coaching services are structured to provide a customized, collaborative approach, tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and leadership
challenges. Each session is structured to focus on actionable steps, supported by tools such as prep forms and follow-up action plans, which keep priorities clear and maintain momentum. This focus on specific, measurable outcomes allows the process to evolve in real-time, adapting to the leader’s progress and feedback.

The coaching engagement emphasizes deep behavioral change by uncovering the root causes of limiting habits and replacing them with more effective ones. Through greater self-awareness, leaders gain insight into their values, strengths, and areas for growth, enabling them to navigate challenges with clarity and confidence. Success is driven by a leader’s commitment to action— dedicating the time and effort required to implement change while using the coach’s guidance to overcome obstacles. This combination of awareness, focus, and sustained effort creates lasting impact, helping leaders improve performance, achieve their goals, and lead with the behaviors that define great leadership.

Most executive coaching programs span 6 to 9 months, allowing time for meaningful leadership transformation. Coaching sessions are 60 minutes long and typically held every two weeks, with three sessions per month during the initial phase. This flexible structure accommodates the leader’s schedule and progress, ensuring regular touchpoints, accountability, and maximum results.

Executive coaching services are designed for leaders at all levels, from senior executives to high potential employees and emerging leaders. For senior executives, it sharpens leadership skills, enhances strategic thinking, and helps navigate complex challenges. Emerging leaders and fast rising stars develop the capabilities needed to take on higher-level responsibilities and advance within the organization.

Coaching is also invaluable for specific leader groups like introverts, overlooked and underutilized leaders, and STEM professionals. Introverts can unleash their quiet strength and become confident, influential leaders, while overlooked and underutilized leaders gain visibility and respect through coaching, enabling them to showcase their abilities. Leaders undergoing transitions, whether stepping into new roles or leading teams through change, find coaching critical in navigating these shifts effectively.
