Why do leaders come to coaching?

Leaders engage in coaching for many different reasons.  Motivations range from a desire to accomplish one or two specific goals, to a need to make fundamental changes in their personal or professional life.  For example:

They want to become better leaders.  They want to inspire people to follow their lead; they want to interact better with peers and others in the organization; or they want to develop the “gravitas” needed to advance into more senior leadership positions.

They need an independent sounding board.  Many leaders feel isolated or alone; they have no one to turn to for confidential conversations or to explore ways they can do a better job.

They feel “stuck” and need fresh insights into what to do next for themselves and/or their organizations. 

They feel ready for a change.  They want to do something new and different but aren’t sure what or how. 

A leadership coach helps individuals go from where they are to where they want to be.
