As you develop as an executive coach, you will find that your approach expands and becomes more robust.

On-the-job implementation ideas, based on discussion and brainstorming with your client, are natural next steps in helping the client make progress toward objectives.

You and the client have bonded in a professional alliance and are in alignment regarding the client’s challenges.

Development goals need to be shaped, not imposed, and tied to the reality of the client’s context.

Your personality, formative life experiences, career history, interpersonal style, interests, notions of success, skills, and talents may all influence your approach to coaching.

The concept of a personal model of coaching is comprised of six key components that define who you are as a coach.

Ideally, your unique combination of knowledge, experience, and intuition can be woven together into a pattern that will be both similar to, and different from, other coaches.

Executive coaching assumes a special bond between coach and client that is genuine and well defined.
