Executive Coach Meetings
In a typical coaching engagement you and your Executive Coach will meet twice a month. This meeting can be face-to-face or virtual, depending on what works best. Coaching can last anywhere from three months to twelve or more months.
Your Manager's Role
Your manager may play an important role as well by sharing data or feedback for assessments and surveys; evaluating progress and measuring outcomes; and providing support along the way.
Feedback on the Impact of Coaching
At the end of the coaching engagement, you will be asked to share your confidential feedback on the impact that coaching has had on your leadership capabilities, as well as the benefits overall to your organization. Your manager and HR are also asked to provide feedback.
We would appreciate your taking time to share your experience, so that we may share aggregated information to others who are considering executive coaching (as shown in the chart) and so that we can imrpove our own capabilities.
