How long does executive coaching last?
Typical engagements run three to six months, with monthly sessions and access between meetings. Many clients continue beyond the formal engagement to maintain business results.
Can coaching be done virtually?
Yes. Coaching can be done virtually. Belinda generally recommends doing the first few sessions in person and then switching to virtual for convenience throughout the rest of the engagement.
What happens during a coaching session?
Regular coaching sessions focus on reflecting on progress, celebrating wins, and addressing areas for improvement. Clients receive curated resources throughout. Progress is continuously tracked and measured, and the engagement concludes with a roadmap for continued development.
What is the coaching process?
The process begins with an initial meeting to establish rapport, discuss timelines, and ensure confidentiality. A validated, evidence-based assessment follows — career history interview, personality assessments, and verbal 360-degree feedback. The data inform a feedback report, debrief session, and coaching plan.
What kinds of challenges does executive coaching address?
Executive coaching addresses the leadership-side problems leaders face every day: delegation, leading through change, dealing with difficult employees, high turnover, quiet quitters, lack of engagement, and unclear strategy.
