What is Executive Coaching and What Is It For
Executive coaching is a personalized development process aimed at leaders, executives, and high-performance professionals. Its goal is to improve leadership, decision-making, communication, and organizational results, while working on the balance between personal and professional life.
Origin and History
It emerged in the 1980s in the United States, initially as management consulting. Over time it incorporated tools from psychology, NLP, and ontological coaching. Today it is the fastest-growing coaching modality in the corporate world and the highest-paying for the coach.
