What is Executive Coaching?

Coaching is personal, it’s about people. It’s natural for it to touch on beliefs, self-doubt, mindsets, perspectives, values, behaviours and the persons’ life. That’s why how we coach is so important. Our coaches use an approach that works in a relational way and at a psychological level, to address entrenched thoughts, behaviours and emotions holding us back.

Coaching is all about people, and can be a little confronting as well as exciting. In a safe environment it touchs on YOU as a person – and frees up your thinking about yourself and your situation, it helps you to uncover hidden assumptions, beliefs and attitudes, allowing you to see yourself in a fresh way and provide new options for action.

Coaching differs from counselling or mentoring, and works on the basis of asking questions rather than providing the solution, encouraging the Coachee to identify the solution that will work best for them in their situation..
