Executive coaching
I did not know the term “executive coaching” before, but there is a complete section of the educational and coaching marked dedicated to training executives. If you’re looking for interesting new material, definitely search for these terms. I did find a great article from Harvard Business Review on the dangers of executive coaching too, that I can recommend.
Today’s post doesn’t contain concrete advice, but I just wanted to publish a list of skills mentioned around executive coaching. This could be really useful if you’re mapping out interesting things to learn or giving people feedback (and you don't even have to be an executive). They’re not ordered in any specific way. I know I'm using it to reflect and see in which areas I can improve.
