Finding a Reputable Leadership & Executive Coach
The popularity of coaching, coupled with downsizing at so many companies, has led to a proliferation of coaches. Many highly qualified specialists and experts have chosen new careers in coaching. Seeing the lucrative opportunities, many psychologists and therapists have added business and/or life coaching to their practices. Consultants and trainers have also expanded their roles to offer coaching.
Unfortunately, effective coaching requires more than technical expertise, therapeutic know-how, or easy access to clients. Coaching is not the same as managing, mentoring, counseling, training, or consulting. These are all discrete practices that may have some overlap with coaching but do not provide the measurable business results that pure coaching will.
That is why we provide experienced coaches who are trained by prestigious and reputable organizations like the Center for Executive Coaching and certified by the International Coach Federation. The ICF is the leading global organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification, and building a worldwide network of credentialed coaches.
