Coaching uses a process of dialogue and questioning to build your level of awareness and responsibility. This working relationship will provide you with purpose, structure, and feedback. Common themes in executive coaching are developing key executive and managerial skills, enhancing team building, leadership qualities, identifying and optimizing the use of key strengths, and building the competencies of emotional intelligence.
