a business by helping them clarify the
vision of their business and how it fits
in with their personal goals. Business

target customers to the challenges it will face and
beyond.
Quote
“The true Measure of
the value of any
business leader and
manager is
performance.”
(Brian Tracy)
Executive Coaching
An executive coach is a qualified
professional that works with individuals
(usually executives, but often high
potential employees) to help them gain
self-awareness, clarify goals, achieve
their development objectives, unlock
their potential, and act as a sounding
board.
Executive Coaching
Executives have limited opportunity to devote
time and energy to their own development as
leaders.
“Most executives struggle to fulfill the
responsibilities of their positions and are too busy
and too stressed to step back and learn from their
experiences or to implement changes to satisfy
best management practices.”

potential individuals.

managers would be successful.

among their technical people.

management level.
• To help leaders resolve interpersonal conflicts
among employees.

different from consulting, mentoring, advice,
therapy, or counseling. The coaching process
addresses specific personal projects, business
successes, general conditions and transitions in the
client's personal life, relationships or profession by
examining what is going on right now, discovering
what your obstacles or challenges might be, and
choosing a course of action to make your life be
what you want it to be.

between coach and client where the
coaching relationship continually gives
all the power back to you, the client.
They believe that you know the answers
to every question or challenge you may
have in your life, even if those answers
appear to be obscured, concealed or
hidden inside.

Quote
“Today’s coaches must be
multifunctional, and be equally
competent as a Manager, Technicians,
Trainer, Psychologist, Physiologist, and
even a councilor. You simply cannot coach
the same way as you did ten, fifteen, or
twenty years ago for a number of
reasons.”

Quote
With each generation entering the workplace, a
greater emphasis is placed on continual development
as these new employees know that they are unlikely to
stay more than a few years.
It’s about what they can develop and acquire to take
to the next stop in the career journey.
We know that effective leaders are one of the most
important influences on levels of engagement.
