Executive coaching frequently asked questions
Before you contact us, here are clear answers to common questions about the engagement, confidentiality, and program format.
What is the difference between executive and leadership coaching, consulting, and mentoring?
Executive and leadership coaching is a tailored partnership for executives, senior leaders, and leaders in transition. In a confidential space, you step back, strengthen your leadership presence, and work through real business challenges.
- Consulting: an expert proposes solutions and helps build action plans.
- Mentoring: an experienced person shares knowledge and perspective from a specific field.
- Coaching: a structured space where you clarify challenges, develop your own solutions, and put them into practice.
I work with leaders who want to strengthen their leadership, navigate a new role or transformation, and achieve concrete results.
Are coaching sessions confidential if my company is paying?
Yes. The content of each coaching session remains strictly confidential between the coachee and the coach.
When the company acts as the sponsor, such as HR or the manager, triad meetings are used only to share coaching objectives, overall progress, and any necessary adjustments to the engagement. Session content is never disclosed. Anything shared is agreed with the coachee in advance, in accordance with the ICF Code of Ethics and the agreement established at the outset.
How long does an executive coaching program last?
An executive coaching program typically lasts 3, 6, or 12 months, depending on the objectives and context. Coaching is not a quick fix: meaningful change requires concrete action, experimentation between sessions, and genuine engagement from the coachee.
My flagship program runs for 6 months and includes 24 hours of coaching, with weekly virtual sessions. Triad meetings with the coachee, manager or sponsor, and coach take place at the start, midpoint, and end to align objectives, review progress, and consolidate learning. The format remains flexible and is tailored to your needs.
