The process of Executive Coaching takes on 4 phases:

Stage 1: Awareness

The “awareness” stage of an executive coaching intervention starts with a meeting between the coach and the executive team, which may include not only the executive and the person he or she reports to, but also often a senior executive and a representative from human resources. At this stage, the coach participates in discussions to understand the client’s background, goals, and expected outcomes and to ensure the client team is committed to the coaching process.

Stage 2: Analysis

The second stage of an executive coaching intervention is about analysis. The client may take one or more assessments, and other stakeholders are interviewed. Afterward, a meeting takes place between the coach and client to set expectations, discuss target competencies for success, and understand results from stakeholder interviews. Here and in future phone conferences between coach and client, an individual development plan is finalized and shared with the client’s sponsoring executive and HR representative.

Stage 3: Action


Regular communication between coach and client is crucial for executive coaching success.

This stage is where the client focuses on specific changes necessary for fulfilling the individual development plan. This may require the client to:

  • Try new behaviors and report on them to the coach
  • Attempt new skills
  • Strengthen key relationships within the organization
  • Talk to successful executives who embody strengths the client wants to develop
  • Meet other stakeholders for their input on the client’s development goals and plans
  • Attend training programs as necessary

Throughout this stage, the client and coach are in regular communication in person or by phone to ensure focus remains on the development plan and to discuss successes and problems in specific situations.

Stage 4: Achievement

The final stage of the executive coaching intervention is the achievement stage. It is at this time that surveys are sent to stakeholders to provide feedback on the client’s improvement and progress. The results of these surveys are discussed with the client, and if course corrections are necessary, they’re documented.

 In this episode he brings his international experience in his conversation with Subash CV.
