It’s lonely at the top. The pressure on top executives is intense and the weight of difficult decisions related to employee turnover, declining business, missed targets, and mounting expenses can be immense. You may find yourself in a situation where you are experiencing accelerated growth and new challenges. The hours are long and the risks are high. At times the changing direction of the business may result in an executive having to lead from an area of incompetency or weakness. The stress may show itself in loss of sleep, weight loss or gain, mood swings and can affect your ability to think clearly and concentrate.

How an Executive Coach can help
The role of an executive coach is to assist senior executives in managing their constantly changing business environment. They accomplish this by working with executives to help refine their leadership skills, identify current weak spots and building a plan to address them, navigating communication difficulties, amongst many other things.
An Executive Coach will sit down with you and explore your needs and build a comprehensive action plan to bring success. At PRO COAL Consulting, we believe the most important element of the coaching relationship is FIT. A good executive coach will bring neutrality and objectivity to the business. They will approach success in a methodical way with proven tools and techniques. A coach should have a broad knowledge base and experience and while the coach may not have experience in your industry, he or she will have knowledge of people and best practices. You need to feel comfortable with your coach to ensure and good relationship is established. A relationship based on trust, professionalism and integrity.
