What to ask an executive coach
An executive coach can help executives manage their organization better. To get the most out of the sessions with an executive coach, here are six questions to ask.
1. How am I resistant to coaching?
In order to quickly progress in the coaching, individuals should be aware of their own weaknesses. Being able to listen to and quickly apply feedback can help high-level employees advance rapidly. Coaching can help individuals identify blind spots and work to fix those. A true leader will constantly be looking to improve in order to help others.
2. What is your definition of success?
It is important for executives to know what a coach’s definition of success is. This will ensure that both the coach and the executive are on the same page. Some coaches may define success based off feelings. Others may have specific steps that can lead to success.
3. How can I change myself?
It can be difficult for executives to make positive, meaningful changes in their lives. However, this is one of the main reasons for investing in executive therapy – to make a change that will ultimately benefit the organization. The coach will be able to determine the right ways to help high-level employees make changes. While these changes may not be easy, the changes will be worth it in the end.
4. How can I properly balance my professional and personal life?
High-level executives often spend much time meeting deadlines and the other demands of work. Sometimes, this work can extend beyond working hours. Phone calls, emails and text messages can all disturb an individual’s personal time. However, it is important for these individuals to be able to balance work life with personal life because this will help these individuals do better at work.
5. What is your process like?
Strong executive coaches will have an established process. This process is designed to keep the executive meeting goals and making progress. Understanding the process will help executives know what to expect so they will be better prepared to meet the expectations in the program.
6. How can I maximize my time with you?
A quality executive coach will have a few specific ways that will maximize an organization’s investment. The coaches can help leaders evaluate how the investment of time and money will be paid back in the long run. Depending on the objectives for that specific organization, the organization may see a return on time or money. After the coaching, the coach can help the organization compare the results with the original objectives.
