Welcome to to be coaching
There are lots of things in life we’d all love: that villa in Spain, a personal trainer, a Personal Assistant, but there’s a much shorter list of things in life we’re prepared to pay for.
And in the current market, where the demands on senior executives are greater than ever, and where training budgets are tight, why is it that companies continue to pay for executive coaching?
Organisations continue to invest in executive coaching because:
- Coaching improves the performance of their top players: CEOs and CFOs, and that increased productivity impacts positively on the bottom line
- Executive coaching delivers results
- There are proven limitations to what training can deliver in terms of behavioural change. Read the Training Versus Coaching section for more
Similarly, some senior executives pay for their own coaching, as they see it gives them a multiple return on their investment.
And What Is Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching is a series of one-to-one development sessions which aims to improve the performance of executives. A coaching session typically lasts 60-90 minutes, and the frequency of the sessions varies. Some individuals find that 3 to 4 sessions is enough, and others commit to doing 3 sessions a month for 6 or 12 months. A coaching session can take place in person, or by phone.
Coaching is always 100% confidential to the individual, and a certified coach like Adrienne O’Hare of To Be Coaching is bound by professional ethics which guarantee the highest forms of integrity.
Is Executive Coaching the Same as Life Coaching?
No. Life Coaching focuses on the individual, and executive coaching focus on the individual within an organisation. Executive coaching focuses on increasing an individual’s performance within a specific set of organisational needs and metrics.

How to proceed after redundancy
For those who lose their jobs, redundancy can be difficult to deal with. What fewer realise is that redundancy can be equally unsettling for their colleagues who remain in their jobs with more tasks, fewer resources and a dwindling sense of workplace camaraderie.
