Professional/executive coaching can take two forms; 1) where an individual comes to a coach for advice and support on work-related issues, and 2) where a company employs a professional to coach its employees in-house. In both cases, the range of issues that a coach might address would be similar, for example:

• Identifying core competencies and interests
• Improving morale and motivation
• Developing better leadership/management skills
• Managing relationships with subordinates/superiors/peers
• Reviewing career path options
• Addressing work/life balance
• Improving interpersonal communication
• Developing better presentation skills
• Managing stress
• Developing conflict resolution skills

Regardless of the setting, the coach is still working with individuals, so the approach to coaching doesn’t really change. The emphasis is likely to be focused on work-related issues, but even so, the individual's personality, experiences and approach to life will play a big role in how they are performing at work and how they feel about their work life. Obviously, when a company is paying for executive coaching, the contract will have to explicitly address expectations about client/coach confidentiality, the form and level of feedback to senior management and the limits of coach accountability for outcomes.

Effective executive coaching facilitates improvements for the individuals involved and, where relevant, the companies that employ them. Through thoughtful, provocative coaching, people can learn a lot about themselves which can help them become happier and more confident about their lives. This can then translate into positive change that benefits the individual in their personal and professional life.

"When we first met, I was “stuck” and frustrated. John quickly drilled through my fears and confusion, helping me to get to where I could not without  his guidance. John skillfully articulated my unfulfilled potential. He concerned me not with what I tried and failed, but with what was still possible for me to do. With one potent session along with two brief follow-up telephone conversations, my life changed more rapidly than I ever hoped. I am no longer stuck! I have not only resumed a powerful very rewarding career that I love, but also created a joyful loving personal life as well.  Thank you for your continuing guidance."
