WHAT IS AN EXECUTIVE COACH?
Perhaps you’ve heard of Business Coaches and Consultants. These roles are different from that of an Executive Coach. Experienced, skilled executive coaches specialize specifically in developing an existing executive business leader. They use their experiences and strategies to optimize your leadership performance.
WHY ARE SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AN EXECUTIVE COACH & A BUSINESS COACH?
There are important distinguishing factors between an executive coach and a business coach. Here are a few key differences:
While business coaching focuses on strategy - things like marketing, sales, increasing productivity, and performance within your business - Executive Coaching focuses on developing an individual.
Executive Coaching is sometimes a better fit for established corporations, or businesses larger in size than the average small business.
While business coaches tend to collaborate with the entire leadership team and sometimes even the employees, Executive Coaching is meant to prompt a one-on-one relationship between a coach and a business executive.
Executive coaching aims to bring about positive change in an entire business through the optimization and development of one single executive.
WHAT LEADERSHIP SKILLS DOES AN EXECUTIVE COACH HAVE?
Executive Coaches are masters of the executive level within the business world. The best ones, like those available for hire at FocalPoint, embody some common traits:
Emotional Intelligence. An excellent executive coach is privy to the needs and emotions of those around them, leveraging this knowledge to bring about development and harmony in relationships.
Great Communication Skills. Successful Executive Coaches are expert communicators, and they use those skills to teach executives how to more effectively communicate with stakeholders.
The ability to tailor solutions. The most effective executive coaches will take the time to personalize their coaching approach to meet your specific needs and goals.
WHAT ARE SOME COMMUNICATION SKILLS TAUGHT BY AN EXECUTIVE COACH?
Some communication skills that executive coaches instill in their clients include:
Simplicity and concision. When messages are simplified and concise, they are more easily digested by the receiver. Even better - ideas and priorities spread more rapidly and are more easily understood when they’ve been distilled to the most pertinent information.
Knowing and understanding your audience. A principle taught in communication studies at most universities, knowing your audience will lead to more strategic communications approaches.
Nonverbal communication acumen. Often overlooked, nonverbal communication understanding is a crucial skill to develop for executives who want to accomplish their goals.
