FAQ's ABOUT
EXECUTIVE COACHING


-
What are common misconceptions about leadership and executive coaching?Coaching is only for struggling leaders. Reality: Coaching is a proactive strategy used by high-performing leaders to maximize their potential. A coach will tell me exactly what to do. Reality: Coaching is not consulting; it helps you discover your own solutions through guided reflection. Coaching is the same as therapy. Reality: Coaching is future-focused, action-oriented, and designed to drive professional growth, not personal counseling. Training is enough—I don’t need coaching. Reality: Training provides knowledge; coaching ensures application. Leaders retain and implement skills more effectively with coaching.

What sets coaching apart from training or mentoring?Training involves transferring knowledge in a structured setting, focusing on learning new concepts without ensuring long-term application. Mentoring involves guidance and advice from a more experienced leader, often based on their own career journey. Coaching, however, is an interactive, personalized process that goes beyond learning. It focuses on real-time application, uncovering roadblocks, and enhancing leadership effectiveness in daily situations. With training, you complete a course. With coaching, you integrate what you’ve learned into your leadership practice. Coaching offers deeper accountability and continuous improvement, helping leaders not only gain knowledge but also develop the skills and confidence to implement and sustain long-term success.
