Selecting an Executive Coach - What's Really Important?

In this episode, we reflect on what we believe are the important things to consider when choosing an executive coach, and we dig a little deeper into what we feel really matters when selecting a coach to work with.

We identify five different criteria which, in our experience, are the things that any experienced coach would be able to demonstrate to a potential client.

Part of our conversation is sharing examples of how we co-create coaching conversations with our clients, check in with different stakeholders to ensure we are all aligned around the goals for the coaching and keeping HR connected with the process when working with organisations. Join us as we guide you through the process of finding a great coach to work with.

About the Podcast

The Coaching Question

Exploring the world of coaching in business, for coaches, users and buyers of coaching

Two experienced executive coaches, Sarah Turner and Gregor Findlay discuss topics pertinent to those that commission and use coaching in organisations, as well as for coaches themselves.

We want more coaching conversations to be happening in the world and while there are lots of resources targetted at coaches, there seem to be less targetted at helping those that bring coaches into organisations.
