The Surprising Benefits of Executive Coaching
I love executive coaching. I love getting to meet ambitious leaders, hear about their dreams and their goals, and help them craft the best battle plan for achieving even their loftiest visions. What’s more, I really believe in executive coaching; I have seen it yield real benefits for countless clients. Indeed, many of the benefits of executive coaching are pretty well-documented, but there are some that may surprise you. That’s what I want to talk about today.
Benefits of Executive Coaching
Self-awareness
When you work with an executive coach, you probably expect to develop a better sense of your own strengths and weaknesses. That much isn’t really a surprise. With that said, I think a lot of executives and executives-in-training will be surprised by how much better acquainted they become with their own emotional life.
For example, one thing you’ll learn in executive coaching is what kinds of people and scenarios “trigger” you into stress or anger — and thus, how do deal with those triggers effectively. That’s powerful!
