There are many stages in professional leadership coaching which are
1. Intake assessment: The coach sets up a meeting with an executive to assess what are his needs.
2. Goal-setting: The coach makes the executive aware of what goals are achievable and what cannot be achieved.
3. Planning: The third stage is planning where it is decided how to go about achieving specific goals.
4. Feedback and development: Feedback is taken on whether the plan is working and what needs to be changed.
5. Closure: The coaching process comes to an end when the client achieves his goal.
