Executive Life Coach

Here is everything you need to know about executive life coaching:

What is an executive life coach?

An executive life coach is someone who specifically supports high level professionals, CEO’s, and individuals in upper management with their personal and professional goals by helping them reach their full potential.

Generally speaking, many execs are so busy that their life becomes unbalanced and they have a difficult time bringing more joy and happiness into their life. Because of this, it’s good to work with someone who understands the demands of executives so that they can help guide them through these difficult moments by helping you perform at a peak state.

Your coach will help you uncover what is most important in your life and how to go about getting it while maintaining your career goals.

What does an executive life coach do?

One of the main goals your coach will do is help you find clarity in what it is you truly want to achieve in life. Once you are able to get clear about all your objectives, they will not only show you how to bring more balance into your personal and professional life, but they can also guide you towards performing at a peak state.

Your coach will…

  • Give you a space to explore who you are and what you want to accomplish
  • Support you in developing a strategy that is sound and cohesive
  • Inspire you to face your fears and overcome any adversity that may be holding you back
  • Provide you the support necessary to push through difficult moments
  • Help you tap into the power of your subconscious mind to perform at a higher level
  • Give you feedback on how you are currently performing and show you how to improve
  • Motivate you when times get tough or when you feel like giving up
  • Uncover the root cause of why you may not be performing at a high level

Do I need an executive life coach?

Most people who are performing at a high level generally employ many types of consultants and coaches to support them along their journey. From famous athletes to top level actors, they all work with individuals who can help bring out the best in their craft and life.

As an executive, a great deal of pressure is placed on your shoulders forcing you to have to perform at a level that is generally above and beyond what most people are capable of. Therefore, working with a professional who can support you is highly advisable.

Here are some reasons you may want to consider a coach:

  • Overcome stress and anxiety
  • Find work-life balance
  • Transform depression and negative emotions
  • Address being overwhelmed
  • Perform at a peak state
  • Build stronger relationships
  • Take your career to the next level

Executive Life Coach Reviews

When I first started working with Vanessa I felt like I was running in circles – accomplishing very little and burning myself out in my business. Thankfully our paths collided because Vanessa has transformed my life and business.

I went from charging very little for services and feeling stuck around sales to raising my prices and easily attracting clients into my business. Her energy and mindset work have brought me to an entirely new level where I’m allowing myself to dream big and chase goals that I never thought would be on my radar.

Her confidence, insight and intuition is so spot on, she can see the things that I didn’t realize were holding me back. My business is now fun and where there used to be “grinding away” and a to-do list of “shoulds” there is now ease and flow.

I cannot recommend Vanessa enough, she sees my power and the things that make me and my services unique and shines a light on it and her faith in me has led me to a whole new level of confidence as an entrepreneur.

I have been working with Carrie for over a year. I had been tossing the idea of a coach around in my head for years, but a book I was reading at the time urged me to take action so I did. We draw everything we want and need into our life to help us. I found Carrie through a Google search, and was immediately absorbed in her site and everything she believed in. She is so transparent – you get exactly what you think you will get with a cherry on top! She is so much more than a coach! She will become part of your tribe, a trusted friend, that accountability partner you need….I urge you to VOTE HER TO YOUR ISLAND!!! My life has dramatically shifted. I have met or exceeded every short term goal I initially talked to her about. My thinking has changed so dramatically I hardly remember “BC” (before Carrie). I can’t begin to convey how much support and structured guidance will do for you and your life. Imagine what can happen in your own life. I am at the tip of my mountain….I am just starting my fabulous journey, but I know I will meet and exceed every single goal I have because she is in my corner. Thank you!!!!!

Although I live 1000 miles away and have my own personal trainer, Sara is always right there reinforcing what my trainer and I are working on! She’s a great motivator with wonderful tips on how to get and stay in shape. Every day she posts great tutorial videos showing that you really don’t ‘need’ much to get a good workout in, just the desire to be better!! She shares her own personal stories and trials that will help motivate and encourage you to live a better life!

Cheryl is so inspiring. She walks the walk and talks the talk. Cheryl eats real, healthy food, incorporating her simple swaps in her daily life and that of her family. She exercises and looks after herself, being a true example for all of us. The recipes and all the tips Cheryl provides are very helpful and easy to follow. Cheryl’s positive attitude and giving spirit make me want to succeed and not let her down. I have a long way to go but I know I am not alone on this journey. Thank you Cheryl
