LEADERSHIP COACHING + CONSULTING
Perhaps the best, most concise definition of Executive Coaching is summarized by authors Fitzgerald and Berger in their book Executive Coaching - Practices and Perspectives. They define executive coaching as "one-on-one, confidential work with executives aimed at enhancing their current or future effectiveness." Further, executive coaching:
Has a developmental focus,
Goes beyond technical or industry guidance,
Is distinguishable from psychotherapy but may share some frameworks of analysis, and
Is based on a complex and sophisticated understanding of, and focus on, both the individual executive and the organizational role/context.
