Executive Coaching and Life Coaching
Why Coaching?
“Coaches have the ability to view things from afar – in what some call “helicopter vision” and to shed new light on difficult situations, often they can act as a sounding board through tough decisions, help sharpen skills and motivate.”
A study showed that training alone increased productivity by 22.4% (while training combined with weekly life coaching increased productivity by 88%)
Executive Coaching
Executive coaching is a professional relationship between a trained coach and a client (who may be an individual or a group) with the goal to enhance the client’s leadership or management performance and development. Through a process of inquiry, dialogue, and other tools, coach serves as a thought partner to help the client examine and develop his or her decision making, experiment with new ways of thinking and being, and commit to action steps that help achieve the client’s goals – FeffreyE Anerbach.
What is the difference between a Business Coach and a Sports Coach?
Some of the principles used in business coaching come from sports coaching like teamwork, excellence and “going for the goal” But business coaching contrary to sports coaching is not about winning / losing. It is about business coach helping the client improve his/her existing capabilities. She / he also helps the coachee to set mutually agreed goals and how to achieve those coach also helps coachee to be aware of the barriers which are hindrances to the effective performance and how to eliminate those.
Coaching vis-à-vis Mentoring, counseling and consulting
Mentoring
A mentor is usually a person at a senior level who has worked at the mentee’s level earlier. Mentor has acquired enough professional and personal experience and is in a position to help the mentee to develop or improve skills and knowledge so as to perform better in the current position and to advance his or her career.
Counseling or Therapy
Counselors or therapists focus on the individual’s psychological wellbeing and analyze the past. In contrast, a business coach concentrates on personal and organizational success, how well the individual is functioning with the organisations and is future focused.
Consulting
A consultant gives expert advice and is hired for specific technical expertise
Life Coaching
Life coaching is about personal goals, projects, relationships or coachee’s profession. Life coach analyses what is going on right now, find out the barriers or the challenges and sets mutually agreed goals and selecting a course of action to help coachee to be what she / he wants to be or wants to do.
