Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between leadership coaching and therapy?
While both involve meaningful conversation and personal growth, their focus and clinical scope differ significantly:
- Focus: Therapy often focuses on healing past trauma, managing clinical mental health conditions, or resolving internal conflict. Coaching focuses on the present and the future—setting goals, building leadership presence, and achieving specific professional outcomes.
- The “Why” vs. The “How”: Therapy often explores the “why” behind deep-seated behaviors. Coaching focuses on “how” to move forward, leveraging your strengths to navigate challenges and reach your potential.
- Clinical Need: Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat disorders (like clinical depression or PTSD). Coaches are partners for “functional” individuals seeking to optimize their performance and impact.
I’m already successful; why do I need a coach?
Even the world’s top athletes have coaches. Coaching isn’t about “fixing” a problem; it’s about optimization. It provides a confidential sounding board, challenges your blind spots, and helps you navigate high-stakes transitions with more clarity and less trial-and-error.
What is the difference between coaching and consulting?
A consultant is an expert who provides answers and tells you what to do. As a coach, I believe you are the expert on your life and business. My role is to use deep listening, powerful questioning and framework-building to help you discover your own solutions, ensuring they are sustainable and authentic to your leadership style.
How long does a coaching engagement typically last?
Meaningful behavioral change takes time. While some specific hurdles can be cleared in a few sessions, most leadership coaching engagements last between 6 to 12 months. This allows for the implementation of new habits and the navigation of real-world challenges as they arise.
Is coaching confidential?
Absolutely. Your privacy is paramount. Per ICF ethical standards, everything discussed in our sessions remains strictly confidential, providing you with a safe space to be vulnerable and honest about your leadership journey.

What exactly is an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-certified coach?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the gold standard for global coaching. As an ICF-certified coach, I have completed rigorous training, met specific hour requirements for experience, and strictly adhere to a professional Code of Ethics. This ensures you are receiving high-quality, evidence-based partnership rather than just “friendly advice.”
