FAQs
Executive coaching questions
What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching is one-to-one support for leaders and managers to improve their performance, decision-making and leadership. Your coach helps you get clear on your goals, explore challenges and take practical action between sessions.
What is the difference between business coaching and executive coaching?
Executive coaching focuses on you as a leader: your style, confidence, impact and career. Business coaching focuses more on the business itself, such as strategy, operations, team performance and growth. Many of our coaching programmes combine both.
How does the free discovery call work?
It is a free 30-minute conversation where you talk through what you would like to achieve or explore. We use it to recommend the right coach and agree the number of sessions, with no obligation.
How many coaching sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals. Most clients agree a series of sessions over a few months, and we review progress as you go.
Is coaching delivered in person or online?
Both. Sessions can be held online by video call, by phone or in person, whichever suits you best.
Can organisations buy coaching for their managers and leaders?
Yes. We regularly provide coaching for individual leaders and for groups of managers, often alongside our management training programmes.
Are your coaches accredited?
Our coaches are experienced and qualified, and several hold recognised accreditations including ICF, ILM and EMCC. You can read about each coach above.
