Executive coaching is different from other types of approaches because it is relationship-based, focused on the individual and how they show up as they lead, and aims to make a personal connection that gives way to organizational transformation. Coaching is focused on enhancing current job performance — leaders work directly with an executive coach to discuss ideas, receive feedback, and set personalized goals. Often an executive coach will help the leader understand feedback from assessments, create and work through a development plan, and address any specific business or interpersonal challenges.
