Sarah's Advice:
Hiring an Executive Coach can be really helpful when you feel like you're at a crossroads in your career and you're not sure which way to turn.

Executive Coaches can help you clarify your vision, goals, and priorities so that you're working towards a future that fits the rhythm of life that you want to create for yourself.

An Executive Coach can also help you identify blockers or obstacles that might be holding you back from achieving your goals, and will work with you on strategies to overcome them. These blockers might be external (unsupportive leader, biases at work, personal commitments or restrictions) or they might be internal (insecurities, limiting beliefs, etc). After you've identified what's holding you back, your coach can support you in crafting a strategy for overcoming these obstacles and making progress towards your vision and goals.

If you're feeling stuck, unfocused, or uncertain about how to take your career forward, an Executive Coach can help you navigate that uncertainty and come up with a way forward that you can be confident in.

When choosing an Executive Coach, you want to ensure you are choosing someone who has the skills, experience, and approach that will best match what you're seeing to achieve.


Sarah's Questions to ask prospective coaches to ensure that they are the best coach for you!
1. What type of coaching do you practice? What are some of the approaches and techniques that you use?
2. Who are your best clients? What are some of the things they have in common?
3. Have you had clients that weren't a good fit for your approach? If so, why was that the case?
4. Have you had personal experience with the challenge I'm facing? If so, could you tell me a bit more about that?
5. What are some of your core beliefs when it comes to career and work? I'm curious how these align with my own beliefs.
