FAQ’s
Q: What is coaching?
A: Coaching is a co-creative partnership where two people focus all of their intelligence, creativity, passion, experience, and knowledge on the success and business goals of the executive.
 Q: Why do executives hire a coach?
A: In the words of a client: “Because it is so refreshing and powerful to have someone I can talk to with complete candor. My coach brings an outside perspective that is invaluable and no agenda of his own. And he tells me the truth, even when I don’t want to hear it.”
Q: How can I find time for coaching?
A: Coaching is typically the only personal development option for a time-starved leader. Most clients choose to meet on the phone for 30-60 minutes per week. If you can’t carve out an hour each week to ensure your success, you truly do need a coach!
Q: Is coaching really effective?
A: One of our favorite questions. Several separate studies show that Executive Coaching has the single highest return-on-investment of any form of leadership development. Fortune magazine reported that Metropolitan Life spent $620K on coaching and saw a $3.2 million ROI in measurable gains. That ain’t bad.
 Q: Are all leaders coachable?
A: No. If the leader has no interest in making positive changes in their thinking, attitudes, or habits, then the coaching will be ineffective.
Q: What types of issues do coaches address?
A: Any issue that stands between the client and what he or she wants to accomplish. Barriers like failing to meet business objectives, task management, poor relationships with leaders, peers, or subordinates, work/life balance, and dealing with stress during times of change or transition are common topics.
Q: What’s the difference between coaching and mentoring?
A: A mentor is typically someone older or more experienced than you with occupational knowledge greater than your own. Mentoring is usually informal and open-ended with coaching being more structured. A mentor doesn’t typically bring the outside perspective many executives need to succeed.
