What is Executive Coaching ?
What it is not
It isn’t a form of counseling or therapy, which are often backward looking.
Most executive coaches are not mental health professionals hence they can’t deal with barriers to success that are rooted in mental health. In certain clients, without addressing underlying mental health challenges, the benefits of executive coaching will be limited at best.
A coach cannot get into your mind and flick a switch so that you suddenly become self-confident, self-aware etc.
It is not mentoring. Mentoring is longer term, has a wider scope and is a directional initiative, usually from a domain expert where the mentor tells you what to do.
The goal of coaching is not to “fix” problem employees.
Why Binod ?
Often as an employee Binod has struggled to find direction, success and/or fulfillment and over 17 years he learnt a lot from those battles.
As an ex-Finance Director and ex- CEO, Binod has an intimate understanding of the mindset of senior professionals- the backgrounds, strengths, values, behaviors, biases and limitations.
As a first-generation entrepreneur, Binod learnt of the big differences between Employee and Entrepreneur the hard way and became intimately aware of the challenges and requirements of running your own company.
Although he left corporate life years ago, Binod is a mentor to dozens of his former CFA students who are senior professionals, many of whom come to him for advice in navigating the mid-career crisis, moving to the C suite etc. That gives him useful insight into the management landscape.
As a result of all the above, Binod decided to focus on a niche and hence he chose to coach those aspiring to (or already in) leadership positions.
Who Binod works with ?
Individuals who are:
- Open to honest feedback
- Willing to make big changes in the way they think and act
- Willing to invest the time
- Patient and think long term
- Mentally tough
