Comments on: Why Executive Coaching Matters http://www.mileskierson.com/why-executive-coaching-matters/ A unique blend of executive coaching and consulting Wed, 07 Jul 2010 07:59:24 +0000 hourly 1 By: Judith Cashmore-James http://www.mileskierson.com/why-executive-coaching-matters/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Judith Cashmore-James Wed, 07 Jul 2010 07:59:24 +0000 http://mileskierson.com/?p=1#comment-4 Miles, as always beautifully articulated. one thing that struck me reading your message is that we are also blind to our fears, fear of failing, fear of success and the fear that perhaps someone else in the team might just be better able to do some or all of our job better. This fear can prevent us from being the best we can be as leaders and it is something that we never see for ourselves. Coaching can cut through the fear and free up the leader. I have coaching clients that once they have recognised and faced that fear have then gone on to lead their organisations from a more powerful perspective. Coaching was the safe environment for them to deal with fear, something that they are unlikely to do in any other relationship.

The coach helps coachees leverage their strengths and own and proactively address their opportunities for development. Finally the coach holds the coachee accountable for personal development planning and executing the plan. At the end of the coaching engagement the coachee should have leveraged existing strengths and converted targeted development needs to strengths - making the coachee more valuable and productive and the coaching investment well worth it.
