Executive 360 Coaching, frequently asked questions

What is executive coaching?+

Executive coaching is a personalised one-to-one development process for senior leaders and executives. A skilled coach works with the individual over a series of sessions to build self-awareness, develop specific leadership capabilities, work through strategic or interpersonal challenges, and accelerate performance. It is distinct from mentoring (which involves advice-giving) and experience (which involves group learning), coaching draws out the individual's own thinking and potential.

Who benefits most from executive coaching?+

Executive coaching delivers the greatest impact for senior leaders facing significant transitions (new roles, promotions, organisational change), leaders with high potential and specific development gaps, executives navigating complex stakeholder relationships, and senior leaders wanting to develop specific capabilities such as emotional intelligence, influence, or AI leadership readiness. It is most valuable when there is genuine commitment to development and willingness to be challenged.

How long does executive coaching last?+

Executive coaching programmes typically involve 6–12 sessions over three to six months. The frequency of sessions depends on the individual's goals and pace, typically fortnightly or monthly. We recommend a minimum of six sessions to achieve meaningful behaviour change. Longer coaching relationships (12+ months) are available for leaders with complex development goals or navigating major transitions.

What issues does executive coaching address?+

Growth Performance executive coaching addresses a wide range of leadership challenges: developing executive presence and influence, building emotional intelligence and self-awareness, navigating complex stakeholder relationships, leading through uncertainty and change, managing the transition to senior leadership, improving decision-making quality, building resilience under pressure, and developing AI leadership readiness.

How is executive coaching different from leadership training?+

leadership training is typically group-based and focuses on developing specific skills or knowledge. Executive coaching is individual, confidential, and focused on the unique challenges, goals, and development needs of the leader. The two are complementary, many of our clients combine group leadership training programmes with individual executive coaching to maximise development impact.

Do you use the Genos 360 Emotional Intelligence Leadership Diagnostic?+

Yes. Growth Performance is a certified Genos International partner and we use the Genos 360 Emotional Intelligence Leadership Diagnostic as the default diagnostic for our executive coaching engagements. The 360 captures rater feedback from line managers, peers, direct reports and other stakeholders against six emotionally intelligent leadership behaviours, giving senior leaders a robust, evidence-based starting point for coaching. Self and 180 versions of the Genos assessment are also available where a full 360 is not appropriate.
