The terminology ‘executive coach’ can be tricky, and I have met a number of coaches who aren’t sure if that is what they really are.

 In this episode I want to share what an executive coach actually is, and – spoiler alert – it doesn’t require coaching people at the C-Suite level. In my opinion the real differentiator of an executive coach is that we are coaching people in an organisational context – regardless of their place in the hierarchy.

Let me know if you agree!

Coaches, I know it’s hard out there sometimes. And I know sometimes we can feel like we have to put on our ‘game face’ and not show that it is hard or that we are struggling.

This episode is a love letter of sorts (or maybe a pep talk?) to executive and leadership coaches who are out there doing the work. If you have been feeling the ups and downs, this is for you.

Today’s episode is a personal one because I’ve had lots of my community talking about the pain they’ve experienced through making the wrong investments in coaches and mentoring programmes.

Firstly – I’ve been there! I invest a lot in coaching and mentoring, and generally I feel like I get an excellent ROI on my investments. BUT! I’ve made some big mistakes too so I want to share my thoughts on when it makes sense to invest in coaching, and when it doesn’t.
