How Senior Leaders Use Executive Coaches to Accelerate Careers
from Executive Careers with Fexingo: VP, C-Suite, and Senior Leadership Career Strategy · host Fexingo
Episode 12 of Executive Careers with Fexingo explores the strategic use of executive coaches by senior leaders. Lucas and Luna examine a 2024 study from the Stanford Graduate School of Business finding that executives who work with a coach see a 73% improvement in leadership effectiveness ratings. They discuss why many senior leaders still hesitate to hire a coach due to stigma, how to vet a coach for C-suite context, and the specific ROI of coaching in navigating board dynamics and succession planning. The hosts share a concrete case: a Fortune 500 CFO used a coach to reframe her leadership narrative before a CEO succession, leading to a board appointment within 18 months. They also break down the difference between a coach, a mentor, and a consultant — and why that distinction matters at the VP level and above. Practical advice for listeners considering a coach: what to look for, what to avoid, and how to measure impact. No fluff, just actionable career strategy. #ExecutiveCoaching #CareerStrategy #SeniorLeadership #ExecutiveCareers #C-Suite #LeadershipDevelopment #BoardSuccession #CoachingROI #StanfordGSB #LeadershipEffectiveness #CareerMobility #VPCareers #CFO #CoachingVetting #LeadershipNarrative #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
