Many are unsure what business coaching and executive coaching is really like. Some envision a sports coach running drills and outlining plays for the players. While others imagine a psychiatrist’s couch where every thought and action is analyzed. In actuality, business coaching is a unique type of mentoring.

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as coaches partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential.

A normal coaching session can take place anywhere (in an office, at a coffee shop, or even on a casual run) and involves the coach and client working through issues and setting immediate and long-term goals. Coaching relationships vary in length but typically last between six to twelve months. The coach will help the client align their values with their vision and goals, while also helping them deal with practical leadership challenges like delivering difficult feedback to an employee or peer; learning how to manage more effectively; achieving better work-life balance, and leading change initiatives.

Based in Roanoke, VA, we serve local, national, and international business coaching and executive coaching clients.
