 The Sherpa definition of executive coaching": "a regular, one-on-one meeting with a trained facilitator, designed to produce specific, positive changes in business behavior in a fixed time frame."  Why is coaching a good tool for executive development?  It's the shortest distance between two points: where a person is, and where he wants to be. Here 's why coaching can be so effective.

1. It’s lonely at the top. 

Today’s leaders are expected to walk in the door and perform. It generates a lot of stress, and isolates leaders from those they are expected to lead. They don't have sounding boards.

2. Sherpa coaching deals with weaknesses.

In many personal development processes, you’re asked to focus on your strengths. Honestly, it's an easier conversation, but your strengths have already gotten you to where you are.  Sherpa coaching tackles weaknesses, the things that keep you from getting to the next level.

3. Coaching forces honesty.'Sherpa Guide' author Judith Colemon - click for a complete bio in a new window.

 A coach has the right to ask questions, and the Sherpa process asks the right questions.  A Sherpa coach will demand honest, revealing and thoughtful answers. This is the fundamental difference between real executive coaching and sitting around talking. 

4. Coaching can support your succession plan. 

New hires, transfers, and promotions: Our 2008 Sherpa Executive Coaching Survey shows that coaching has moved away from solving problems to become a development tool for rising stars.

5. How we work.

We work face-to-face, in person.  Have you ever multi-tasked  while you were on the phone?  Coaches and clients will, too. Fortunately, in-person coaching is gaining as a delivery method.
