As they say, what got you here won’t get you there.
Even top-performing leaders need to continue to grow themselves. A team leader must actively reflect on how to challenge and inspire his or her teams and compete on the global stage in a rapidly-evolving world. And, a corporate coach will help with that.
When it comes to CEOs and Investors, we should not forget that not all CEOs come to the table with the full set of skills they need to build their companies to last for the next decade. However, by instilling the importance of executive coaching early on, both board members and portfolio services teams ensure the CEO-investor relationship extends far beyond just the funding.
Many leaders become so focused on growing their businesses that they become disconnected from the people around them and what it takes to lead those people through change.
A good executive coach can help a CEO see the impact of this type of behavior, and make a huge difference in a company’s success.
An executive or corporate coach is a professional that works with individuals (usually executives, but often high potential employees) to help them gain self-awareness, clarify goals, achieve their development objectives, unlock their potential, and act as a sounding board.
Corporate coaches help their clients think and act more resourcefully, resulting in personal growth and achievement and for that reason, coaches usually make a lot more money than consultants or advisers.
New business and executive coaches can charge $100 - 200 per hour and veteran coaches with established results can often charge $250 - 600 per hour. What makes the difference is the skill of the coach and who they coach.
So, if you're ready to join the corporate or business coaching sector, welcome on board!
