How Senior Leaders Use External Coaches

In Episode 35 of Executive Careers with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how senior leaders strategically use external coaches—not as a sign of weakness, but as a competitive advantage. They drill into the specific case of a Fortune 500 COO who hired a coach to navigate a post-merger cultural integration, and walk through the three distinct phases where coaching delivers the most value: career inflection points, skill gaps in soft power, and accountability for bold moves. They also discuss how to vet a coach, what to expect in terms of fees and time commitment, and why a coach differs from a mentor or a therapist. This episode is packed with actionable guidance for executives considering or currently working with a coach, with concrete examples of what a good coaching engagement looks like in practice. #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerStrategy #COO #Fortune500 #Mentorship #SoftSkills #CareerInflection #Accountability #ExecutivePresence #C-Suite #VPLevel #BoardReady #ProfessionalGrowth #CoachingEngagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
