Executive coaching provides transformative benefits to executives and organizations. It is a personalized development process where executives work with a professional coach to identify and achieve goals. Coaching improves leadership skills, increases self-awareness, enhances decision-making and communication, and boosts confidence - leading to better job performance, employee engagement, and organizational outcomes. While similar to mentorship, coaching is more structured, focused on specific goals and results, and time-bound. It typically involves regular one-on-one sessions between the coach and executive to set goals, assess strengths/weaknesses, develop action plans, and track progress.
