I’m often asked about the difference between Therapy and Executive Coaching. They are very different and quite unique.

Executive coaching is not Psychotherapy.

The major difference between Executive Coaching and Therapy is the focus and length of the work.

Executive Coaching is future oriented, focuses on action steps and your commitment to move forward toward your goals. Executive Coaching is for those who are functioning well in their work and dedicated to improving themselves, their professional goals and their organizations. Executive Coaching elevates your capacity to advance your future and career. It is time limited and focuses on your short or long term goals. Executive Coaching is created as uniquely as your needs and is about what you want.

Therapy focuses on mental health, emotional healing and sometimes goes into the past to process and resolve unfinished business and personal aspects of your life. Therapy evaluates, diagnoses and provides treatment based on that diagnosis.
