What is executive career coaching ? Executive career coaching supports senior leaders, executives and professionals with career related challenges such as career planning, navigating the executive job market, gaining promotion, transitioning from management to senior leadership, navigating corporate politics, handling re-deployment, returning to the corporate environment after a career break and/or changing career direction. It also helps them to develop their leadership profile in terms of achieving an appropriate balance between personal aspirations and organisational goals so that they can be totally authentic in their leadership style. Authentic leaders are typically more effective team players and so more inspirational for their people.
