What Is Executive or Leadership Coaching?
Creating breakthroughs to the barriers that stop you from becoming your best self. Executive/leadership coaching is career-focused rather than job-focused. It involves developing the skills and strengths necessary to thrive in a management or leadership role.
This form of coaching delves intimately into the cultivation of strengths required for individuals to excel in their current senior roles or to prepare for the demands of their next career milestone. More than just refining skills, executive coaching instills an aspirational mindset, encouraging employees to focus on the careers they aspire to, rather than just the jobs they currently hold. It's rooted in the concept of "I am," where individuals declare their leadership competence in the present moment.
It's important to note that executive coaching isn't about fixing something that's broken or creating overly complex outcomes. In organizations that lack a Cohesion Culture™ mindset, it might be perceived as a last-resort effort to salvage executives. In some instances, participants might outwardly agree, but internally harbor doubts such as "What's wrong with me?" or succumb to the "Someday I will be good enough" syndrome.
However, in organizations committed to fostering a culture of cohesion, executive coaching takes on a highly positive connotation. It becomes a mutually beneficial endeavor, resembling a blend of mentoring and internship. This unique approach centers on the continuous development of individuals holding senior-level authority and bearing significant corporate responsibilities.
When organizations view executive coaching through a corrective lens, they may miss the holistic potential it offers. Instead, it should be seen as a proactive means of nurturing leadership potential and enhancing the capabilities of senior professionals. Executive coaching empowers individuals to rise to the challenges of their current roles while preparing them to excel in the roles they aspire to attain.
