If you are a top executive or working on becoming one, you can use a personal sounding board, a confidant, an encourager-- A COACH.
An executive coach can help you sort out the hard decisions facing you, help you develop your interpersonal and professional talents and skills and find a harmonious balance in the harried world of work.
Executive Coaching Sessions follow a predictable model-
1) Goal, Values and Vision clarification
2) Definition of your own personal critical path and integration of opportunities in front of you now, your network, your skills and your desires into a measureable plan of action.
3) Support, Clarification, Challenge, Resources, and Experiences to keep you growing, developing and satisfied with yourself.
Executive coaching sessions will often include instruments and assessments that help define Style, Personality, Leadership, Effectiveness, and Motivation to keep you continually learning about yourself.
