What is leadership coaching?

Leadership coaching is a professional development process that focuses on helping leaders enhance their skills and abilities to effectively lead people, teams, and organizations. A coach works one-on-one with a leader to identify areas for improvement, set goals, and develop action plans to achieve those goals. Coaching provides a supportive environment for personal and professional growth.
