Executive Coaching is historically reserved for senior leaders within an organization to improve their leadership and personal performance. Research conducted by Dr. Vivian Smith-Del Toro indicated that Executive Coaching is used as a development tool or prerequisite for the C-Suite. Executive coaching can enable the executive to have a “thinking space” and a sounding board to think through issues and generate new innovative ideas.

Executive Coaching can be a catalyst for personal growth of the executive and can be transformational for them and the organization. The Executive Coach and the Executive will collaborate and create a career strategy to define their purpose or what is important to them personally and professionally. It is fair to say that the fee rates for Executive Coaching is often much higher than for other types of coaching, which tends to reflect the seniority of the clients and that it is often taking place within the corporate environment.
