EXECUTIVE ADVISORY/COACHING FAQs
What is executive advisory, and how can it benefit me?
Executive advisory, also known as "coaching" is a highly tailored form of professional development designed to help you enhance your performance, achieve your goals, and unlock your full potential. Through our work together, you'll see improvements in self-awareness, communication, and productivity, which can have a lasting impact on both your professional and personal life.
How does executive advisory differ from mentoring or consulting?
Unlike mentoring, which is more about sharing personal experiences, or consulting, where you receive expert advice, executive advisory is all about empowering you to develop your own insights and skills. I help you unlock your potential through a process of accountability and discovery, guiding you to find the solutions within yourself.
What should I expect during the executive advisory process?
Expect a personalized, goal-oriented journey that starts with an initial discovery session to understand your needs. When we kick off our engagement, we'll build a partnership focused on your personal and professional growth.
We’ll explore ways to balance your leadership responsibilities while setting meaningful goals. We'll examine self-limiting beliefs, set clear goals, meet regularly to discuss strategies, and I will hold you accountable to your progress. You'll receive constructive feedback, tailored insights, and support in a confidential, trusting environment. The process is designed to help you achieve self-awareness, overcome challenges, and reach your full potential. You can expect personalized feedback and thought-provoking conversations that help you become a more effective, self-aware leader.
How long does an engagement typically last?
The length of our engagement depends entirely on your goals and needs. Typically, engagements range from six months up to a year, with sessions taking place bi-weekly. Together, we'll create a plan that works for your schedule and desired outcomes.
How is the return on investment (ROI) of executive advisory measured?
We'll measure ROI by looking at improvements in areas like personal awareness, leadership effectiveness, team dynamics, and overall growth. This can be done through feedback surveys, performance metrics, and personal self-assessment tools, giving you a clear picture of the progress you’re making.
What are some common areas of focus in our sessions?
Each coaching journey is unique, but common areas we might focus on include boosting your self-awareness, personal/professional balance, enhancing strategic thinking, honing leadership skills, identifying and abolishing self-limiting beliefs, improving communication, and navigating career transitions.
How do I choose the right executive advisor for my needs?
Choosing the right advisor/coach is a personal decision. It’s important that you feel a strong sense of chemistry and alignment with your coach. During our initial conversations, we’ll explore whether my experience and coaching style align with your learning preferences and professional goals.
What is the cost of executive advisory, and is it worth the investment?
The cost depends on the length of the engagement and the services provided, but many executives find the investment to be incredibly worthwhile. My goal is to ensure that the value you receive far exceeds the cost, as coaching is a powerful investment in your growth and success. The benefits for you—both personal and professional—can have a profound, lasting effect on your personal life, leadership, and career trajectory.
