What even is leadership coaching?

I get this question all the time because when I tell people I’m a leadership coach, the response is usually something like… “Oh, so kind of like a life coach?” which my answer is usually somewhere between: yes and no.

So, in this episode, I’m breaking down what leadership coaching actually is, what happens in a coaching relationship, and why so many people, from first-time leaders to executives, choose to work with a coach.

We talk about the misconceptions around coaching, what makes coaching different from mentoring, consulting, or therapy, and some of the reasons people decide they want support in this season of leadership.

In this episode, I talk about:

•  What leadership coaching actually is (and isn’t) 
•  Why coaching is a partnership, not someone giving you answers 
•  Who leadership coaching is for (hint: it's not just executives)
•  How coaching helps you notice patterns and see situations differently 
•  Why confidentiality and trust matter so much in coaching 
•  Building confidence and accountability as a leader 
•  Signs it might be time to get support 
•  How coaching can help with feedback, difficult conversations, and growth 
•  What coaching relationships actually look like and how long they usually last
