Yes, confidentiality is one of the key foundations of coaching. Our coaches place paramount emphasis on ethical behaviour and confidentiality. 

By participating in executive coaching experiences, your leaders will gain increased self-awareness, a drive for transformational change, and a renewed sense of opportunity. Coaching can improve performance in key ways, including providing a greater understanding of self, others, and the larger organizational context; and an enhanced ability to communicate effectively and coach others. Our coaches provide critical support and feedback to help leaders set goals, create action plans, and enhance performance.

Research has found that those who have had executive coaching are significantly more effective leaders, with increased resilience, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness. They’re able to use their strengths more effectively and can recognize and work around their weaknesses. Executive coaching helps leaders feel they have an increased sense of self-understanding, purpose, and clarity on next steps to drive change. Of course, there is a benefit to continuing a long-term executive coaching relationship, but even a brief coaching engagement during turbulent times can be an effective experience that results in the ability to set clear goals and navigate a crisis with confidence.

Finding the best executive coach is a personal experience and should be tailored to the individual or individuals who are participating. At Azelea Coaching Advisory, our coaches, undergo a rigorous selection, training, and quality control process. We consider your leaders’ expertise, industry, skillset and personality before matching them with the right coach.

Executive coaching is different from other types of approaches because it is relationship-based, focused on the individual and how they show up as they lead, and designed to make a personal connection that gives way to organizational transformation. Coaching is focused on enhancing current job performance — leaders work directly with an executive coach to discuss ideas, receive feedback, and set personalized goals. Often an executive coach will help the leader understand feedback from assessments, create and work through a development plan, and address any specific business or interpersonal challenges.

Yes. At the start of an organizational coaching program, our team learns about the organizational context, including existing competency models and business objectives. For us and our coaches, coaching goals must be relevant and meaningful for both the individual and the organization.
