How to leverage your executive coach
News Alert: Executive coaches don’t have all the answers, their clients do.
To get value from a relationship with an executive coach, the person being coached should constantly seek to gain information from the relationship that better formulates a path forward.
Ask lots of questions, bring problems to the table, introduce new goals and ideas, whatever your situation demands. The objective is to pull from the relationship bits of experience and tools to help drive progress or reshape the way you think.
If an executive coach approaches relationships with a canned approach for each and every client, it likely means they’ve never really done the work. Real-world scenarios require the application of specific models, frameworks, and tools that align with the context and specificity of the problem to be solved or the desired outcome.
Challenge your coach so that they can challenge you.
