Abstract

In contrast with traditional leadership training methods, coaching builds stronger leaders through self-awareness and sustainable changes in behavior. Coaching is a personalized learning process that is accomplished through a series of one-on-one focused coaching conversations; and by having the leader gain feedback, observe his or her actions, and practice new actions/behaviors tied to growth goals. Executive Coaching also helps leaders identify desired business results and the challenges impeding progress toward these goals. In addition to focusing on enhancing the leader’s learning, coaching assists the leader in developing strategies to achieve identified business results.
