How can executive coaching help you?
SINCERE, HIGH-LEVEL FEEDBACK
As an executive, receiving useful feedback is rare. Internally, you often cannot freely exchange ideas on an equal footing. That is why it is beneficial to engage in substantive discussions with a broadly educated, intelligent external coach who provides you with feedback that is truly useful and that you can immediately apply in practice. Our experienced coaches offer a safe environment in which they can give honest and constructive feedback based on their knowledge and expertise in leadership and management.
New insights
Genuine feedback provides insight into your strengths and areas for development. Our executive coaches are able to share objective observations and evaluations about your leadership style, communication skills, decision-making processes, and other relevant aspects of your role as a leader. This feedback enables you to further strengthen your strengths and address any blind spots that may hinder your professional growth.
Awareness
Sincere, high-quality feedback is invaluable because it enables you to become aware of your impact on others and your organization. It allows you to grow and become more effective in your leadership role. By receiving constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement, you can refine your leadership skills and better respond to the needs of your team and organization.
Growth mindset
Honest feedback helps you develop a growth mindset. It enables you to step outside your comfort zone and try new approaches. By being open to feedback and willing to learn and grow, you can stimulate your professional development and fully realize your leadership potential.
HELP WITH CONFLICTS
Conflicts can be inevitable in the business world, and dealing with conflicts effectively is an essential skill for leaders and managers. The impact of not resolving a conflict can sometimes be enormous. Strong coalitions with negative dynamics can arise. Being able to approach conflicts better is of economic, social, and/or private importance. At GORTcoaching, we offer support and guidance in dealing with conflicts. Our executive coaches are trained to help clients understand the causes and dynamics of conflicts and provide them with the necessary tools and strategies to deal with these situations effectively.

Situations in which executive coaching can be valuable
In the world of leadership and management, executive coaching is a valuable tool that can support leaders and managers in developing their skills and reaching their full potential. There are various situations in which executive coaching can be particularly valuable. Below, we explore a few examples of such situations.
DEVELOPING leadership skills
Executive coaching can be a valuable tool for leaders who want to develop and strengthen their leadership skills. The coaching process focuses on identifying strengths and weaknesses, improving decision-making skills, developing effective communication and management skills, and increasing influence and impact as a leader. Through personal guidance and targeted feedback, leaders can refine their leadership style and better navigate complex business environments.
Dealing with change
In an ever-changing business environment, dealing with change is an essential skill for managers. Executive coaching can help embrace change, manage resistance, and develop resilience. Executive coaches provide support in identifying personal and organizational obstacles that hinder the acceptance of change. They help leaders develop a flexible mindset, address uncertainty, and implement effective strategies for dealing with change.
Improving communication
Effective communication is crucial for leaders and managers to lead teams and achieve goals. Executive coaching can help leaders improve their communication skills, both in one-on-one interactions and in group contexts. Executive coaches provide guidance on strengthening listening skills, developing clear and compelling messages, dealing with conflict, and building strong professional relationships. Through targeted exercises and feedback, leaders can become more effective communicators and achieve better results.
Work-life balance
Many managers experience challenges in finding a healthy balance between work and private life. Executive coaching can help identify priorities, set boundaries, and develop effective time management skills. Coaches support leaders in creating a balanced lifestyle that promotes both professional success and personal well-being. Through self-reflection and exploring possible solutions, leaders can achieve a healthy balance and improve their overall quality of life.
Customized support
Executive coaching offers customized support for leaders and managers in various situations. It enables them to promote their personal and professional growth, overcome challenges, and fully realize their potential. Whether it concerns leadership development, change management, communication improvement, or achieving a healthy work-life balance, executive coaching offers valuable guidance for leaders who strive for success and satisfaction in their role.
We resolve conflicts together
Our coaches work with leaders to identify conflicts and understand their underlying causes. Through in-depth conversations and asking the right questions, they help leaders gain insight into their own reactions and behavior in conflict situations. This awareness is essential for developing constructive approaches and addressing conflicts in a productive manner.
Prevention is better than cure
Through role-playing and practical exercises, leaders are challenged to explore and practice new ways of communicating so that they can approach and resolve conflicts with confidence. Our approach is aimed at achieving a win-win outcome in conflict situations. We encourage the search for joint solutions and help leaders identify common interests and goals. By emphasizing cooperation and creating a positive working environment, conflicts can be prevented or transformed into opportunities for growth, innovation, and team building.
At GORTcoaching, we understand that conflicts are a natural part of the business world, but we also believe that they can be addressed and resolved in a constructive manner. With our guidance and support, we help leaders and managers to effectively manage conflicts, repair relationships, and promote a harmonious working environment in which everyone can flourish.

We believe in a holistic approach that is tailored to the unique needs and goals of each individual client.

Feedback sessions also play an important role in our approach. We encourage open and constructive communication between the coach and the client, with an emphasis on gaining valuable insights and identifying opportunities for growth. Through structured feedback sessions, leaders are challenged to further develop their strengths and address any blind spots.
In addition, we assist clients in drawing up a personal development plan if required. This plan provides a clear framework and concrete goals to work towards during the coaching process. It serves as a roadmap that guides the client on their development journey and enables us to measure progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Personalized and tailored approach
At GORTcoaching, we strongly believe in the power of a personal and tailor-made approach. We understand that every leader is unique and has his or her own challenges and goals. That is why we tailor our coaching to the specific needs and context of each client. Our coaches build a relationship of trust with the client, creating a safe and supportive environment to enable personal growth and transformation.
Our approach allows us to respond effectively to each client’s unique circumstances and create a lasting impact. We strive not only to develop leadership skills, but also to increase self-awareness, stimulate personal growth, and improve overall professional effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions about executive coaching
How does executive coaching differ from other forms of coaching?
Executive coaching differs from other forms of coaching in that it is specifically aimed at leaders and managers in a professional setting. Here are some key differences:
Focus on leadership development
Executive coaching focuses primarily on improving and developing leadership skills. It helps leaders strengthen their leadership style, develop strategic thinking skills, and improve their decision-making abilities. Other forms of coaching, such as life coaching or career coaching, have a broader focus and can address various aspects of life or career.
Expertise in a business context
Executive coaches typically have expertise and experience in the business world. They understand the challenges, dynamics, and complexities of organizations and can offer specific advice and guidance based on this knowledge. Other forms of coaching may focus on personal development or specific areas such as health or relationships.
Organizational impact
Executive coaching often has a broader organizational impact. It focuses not only on the individual, but also on the leader’s influence and effectiveness within the organization. The aim is to improve the leader’s performance, strengthen cooperation with the team, and support the organization’s objectives. Other forms of coaching may be more focused on personal growth and well-being.
Complexity of responsibilities
Leaders and managers often have complex responsibilities and must deal with challenging situations, such as making difficult decisions, managing teams, and dealing with change. Executive coaching focuses on developing skills and providing support for these specific challenges. Other forms of coaching may focus on personal goals or specific areas of life.
What confidentiality and privacy options are offered during the coaching process?
Confidentiality and privacy are essential aspects of the coaching process at GORTcoaching. We understand the importance of a safe environment in which clients can communicate openly and honestly without having to worry about sharing confidential information. At GORTcoaching, we adhere to a strict confidentiality and privacy code. This means that all information shared during the coaching process remains confidential between the client and the coach. Our coaches are bound by a code of ethics that requires them to guarantee confidentiality. They treat all information with the utmost care and respect the client’s privacy at all times. This applies to both the content of the coaching conversations and all personal data provided during the process.
In addition, we encourage open communication about any concerns or questions regarding confidentiality and privacy. Our executive coaches are available to discuss any concerns and reassure the client about the security of the information provided.
How long does a typical executive coaching program last?
The duration of a typical executive coaching program can vary depending on various factors, such as the specific goals, the complexity of the challenges, and the desired results. In general, however, the duration of an executive coaching program varies from a few months to a year. In some cases, a shorter program of a few months may be sufficient to achieve specific goals or meet specific needs. This may be the case, for example, when developing a specific skill or addressing a limited challenge. Shorter coaching programs can be more intensive, with frequent sessions and a faster focus on specific goals.
On the other hand, a longer program lasting six months to a year can be used for broader development goals, such as strengthening leadership qualities, improving communication skills, promoting personal growth, and implementing sustainable behavioral changes. These longer programs offer more time and space for in-depth reflection, exploring different aspects of leadership, and integrating new skills and insights.
It is important to note that the duration of the coaching process can be flexible and can be adapted to the needs and wishes of the client. It can also be influenced by external factors, such as the availability and schedule of the client and the coach.
The exact number of sessions and their frequency are determined in consultation with the coach, taking into account the individual needs and circumstances of the client. The coaching process usually evolves gradually as goals are achieved and new challenges and opportunities arise.
What is executive coaching and what are its benefits?
Executive coaching is a specific form of coaching that focuses on guiding and supporting leaders and managers in their professional development. It is a structured process in which an experienced coach works closely with an individual in a leadership position to improve his or her leadership skills, personal effectiveness, and professional growth. The benefits of executive coaching are diverse. Executive coaching offers leaders and managers the opportunity to improve their leadership skills, increase self-awareness, develop effective communication, and stimulate professional growth. It is a valuable tool that helps individuals build successful and fulfilling careers in an ever-changing business environment.
