As an optional component of the Executive Onboarding Program, the Office of Human Resources offers an extensive network of experienced executive coaches who will work with individuals and teams on enhancing skills.
Executive coaching offers today's busy leaders the opportunity to pursue personal and professional development in a confidential and collaborative one-on-one environment.
Executive Coaches listen, conduct in-depth interviews, ask questions, provide support and feedback, and challenge individuals. Our Executive Coaches work with both individuals and teams to enhance skills.
Executive coaching increases organizational effectiveness by facilitating individual growth and enhancing leadership and management competencies necessary to achieve higher performance. Executive coaching is a learning process that is tailored to an individual's needs.

Coaching Commitment and Fees
A typical coaching agreement lasts for six months to a year. Many initial executive coaching sessions last from two to four hours, with follow-up sessions varying from one-to-two hours. Follow-up coaching is done weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, depending on the desired results. Coaching can be done via telephone or in-person. The coaching engagement often begins with an assessment to establish an initial framework. Together, you and your coach determine the length and scope of the relationship. The relationship with an Executive Coach is confidential, objective and unbiased.
