The Top 10 Things You Should Know About Executive Coaching. 
1. THE BOOK:"The Sherpa Guide: Process-Driven Executive Coaching" sets forth exactly how an executive coach "creates permanent change in business behavior in a limited time frame." In the process, this book defines a new industry. Marshall Goldsmith, world's top executive coach, says: "The Sherpa Guide has added real clarity to what executive coaching is, and what it will become."   (details)
2. UNIVERSITY PARTNERS: The book is the text for high-end executive coach training and certification offered by  multiple universities: more credible and well-recognized sources than any other progam, by far. The world's top executive coach, Marshall Goldsmith says: "It's great to have universities agree on standards for executive coaching." (details)
3. PHILOSOPHY: Your strengths have gotten you to  where you are. There's usually a weakness keeping you from the next level. It's not as easy as building on strengths, but working on weaknesses gets profound results. The Sherpa process has been endorsed by Marshall Goldsmith, world's top executive coach, who says: 'The Sherpa Guide' and my best-selling book 'What Got You Here Won’t Get You There' work well together. There's no contradiction, no overlap between the two. Together, they deliver the passion and the process we call coaching." (details)
4. TRAINING: Every leader can do better at delivering expectations and creating accountability. Appropriate training is built into the Sherpa executive coaching process. (details)
5. SERVICES: Authors Corbett and Colemon offer in-person executive coaching in  Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio and surrounding metro areas: Indianapolis, Indiana, Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky and Columbus in Ohio. Travel can be arranged for team and individual coaching elsewhere. (details) Our directory ( linked above) will help you find a coach just about anywhere.
