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

My name is Sam Miller and as a celebrity life coach, I have been working with musicians, actors, athletes, and politicians on helping them achieve their personal and professional goals faster.
Ready to up the ownership of your recovery, life and expression? I would love to have you in my private coaching community so that I can spend time with you, hear your areas of opportunity and help you up-level where it counts! See below. Philadelphia life coaching is a holistic online community for men & women in recovery who know they are meant for so much more and want to continue their inner work to live their potential. As human beings we are imperfect, and compassion for self is understanding and accepting that. We all deserve love, and we can only receive as much love from others as we give to ourselves. The more we nourish ourselves with compassion, the more ability we will have to share it with others.
It’s often easier to pay attention + accolades to others than it is to pay them to ourselves, though the latter is imperative to wholeness. Honor your passage in this life. Honor everything you’ve ever done … your toughest challenges, the incredible things you’ve had to overcome. Take stock + take credit. You got you here. Embody that. It’s not about selling yourself, outwardly. It’s about standing for yourself, internally.
I just completed a coaching workshop with a bunch of colleagues committed to helping people change their lives. Not bad. We focused on two prominent tools in the Fearless Living repertoire. The Wheel of Fear, that identifies the *one fear* that ultimately triggers you. [yeah, one] And the anecdote, the Wheel of Freedom, that identifies your essential nature … that part of you that brings you back into your wholeness, that part of you that makes you feel alive and enveloped in freedom and at home in the skin you’re in. This work is part of a few real good things that have changed my life. If you ask me about it, I’ll tell you about it.
For many who struggle with addiction, physical dependence is a daily reality, and a debilitating illness. However, like so many illnesses, it can be treated and overcome. But to do so, it is important to understand what it is, first. For many people who struggle with addiction, and are transitioning into sobriety, the sober lifestyle does not come naturally. The idea that you can have fun while sober – that life is far more enjoyable while sober – is usually quite distant for many in their first few months of recovery. A sober mindset will translate to a fulfilling sober life.
Prepare yourself for the best life you can imagine! There are six different mental skills included in this bundle that will provide you with the tools necessary to build a strong foundation for academic, social and mental health success in life and your career. Making and maintaining friend, time management and organizational skills, managing a bully, building confidence and
Perfectionism is paralyzing, not to mention a lot ton more work than melting into yourself + life, as is. Perfectionism kept me hiding when I thought I didn’t measure up + putting life on hold until I could get it just right. It’s too exhausting. I’m a lot more fun to be around when I’m tripping over my laces + I get back up. Get up. Reflect the true you. I’m not saying that you can’t coach if you’re not fully healed. But, the actual act of really working on your own life, to really put yourself a task, to become your own greatest advocate is an essential skill, an essential pathway for you to actually learn and remember what your clients are going through.
Have you ever believed that there is something wrong with you? Have you ever believed that your imperfections were in your way? What if all of that could change? What would you like to let go and learn to love about yourself?Learning the art of layered questions is essential to move from a good Coach to a Great Coach to a Master Coach. Without understanding the purpose open-ended questions versus close-ended questions or knowing how to stay in the flow that exists in the moment or anchoring and expanding your client’s ah-ha’s into their entire life, your influence, impact and confidence will be thwarted.
Stigma is negative belief or form of disgrace, often rooted in misinformation and a very common in the topic of addiction. While science helps us navigate addiction from a more sympathetic and compassionate point of view, myths and misconceptions fuel a false understanding of what addiction is, particularly its relationship to choice.An integral part of overcoming addiction is always having friends and family to rely on when you really need to. Being able to dial a number or head to a specific place and just recuperate and try to stay clean can take a lot of pressure off the situation.
Remember that these feelings are temporary. My grandmother and mother loved to use the expression, “This too shall pass.” It is true for both positive and negative experiences. When I am feeling down, I remind myself that this too shall pass. When I am feeling good, I remember that this too shall pass. This gives me perspective on my current experience and a greater appreciation for life.
What are we supposed to do with this when we are experiencing the roller coaster of emotions that life brings? We have to start making it okay to feel. We have to stop being afraid of our feelings, both good and bad. Because when we feel great, we think, Is it okay that I’m so happy when so many people are struggling? And when we feel awful we think, What’s wrong with me? It’s time to understand that this is what it’s like to be human. We feel good, we feel bad, and everything in between. Accepting our own emotions is half the battle. Having some self-compassion will allow us to also accept other people as they are.
Have you ever wondered why your life has plateaued or stalled? Or why you and your team feel stuck? Well, let me tell you what I learned and how having the right perspective can change everything. This coaching program is certainly on point…constantly judging your wellness by the research can definitely be misleading at best and totally confusing at worst. What if we just got in touch with what our bodies were telling us?
Just great info from experts that practice what they teach on the subject of living La Vida Wellness. It’s a great podcast for newbies to wellness, long term devotees and professionals, because I find if I get one gem, it can change my life. I’m offering a PERK; Any of the people who I invite that go through and listen to all 9 episodes I will offer a complimentary Discovery Session ($250.00 value). I’ll be spending 50-60 minutes focused on you and how to integrate the Ageless Reset into your everyday life.
Is there a part of you that doesn’t want to heal? It’s important to honor and acknowledge the different parts of yourself. Though there is a part that wants change, often the part of ourselves that doesn’t is stronger. To heal, you want to be working towards alignment with the different aspects of yourself. There’s been many times in my process that I felt mentally and emotionally resolved when my body did not. I used to leave my body behind. I knew I needed to work the mental and emotional levels to get some stability for myself. Then came in spirituality and the physical level (aka my body) was always last on the the list. Over the years, I’ve been more mindful to have all the levels on board for my total healing. I love visualization energy coming together and integrating all parts of myself. And I was even able to bring on board the part of me that didn’t want to heal for a long time with my intention to heal through my OC life coaching program.
Don’t forget to recharge, my fellow Compassion Warriors! Know when you need to reschedule or take the day off. There are days and moments where you definitely need to take some time for you (without guilt). Perhaps you can’t get out of bed—emotionally or physically. If so, it is okay to reschedule with a friend in need or take a personal day. You have to take care of yourself first. As compassionate warriors, we have to give from abundance rather than depletion. When we are depleted by our own life experiences, it is even more important to fill ourselves up first. What are some ways that you like to recharge?
This trip has been amazing. Amazingly hard at times. Amazingly effortless and in total flow other times. And I’m growing and living a dream that most people will never allow themselves to live, and you want to know the best part? I created this for myself. I chose to keep going even when things were hard, scary, and uncomfortable. I decided i wouldn’t accept anything less than consciously creating my life, on my terms. So don’t give up. Don’t be afraid because you think you can’t afford it. That’s such bullshit. Because the truth is you can’t afford not to live your own life, the way you know you want it to be. All aspects of it. Stop hiding and decide to go all in. Because when you do, you’ll get more than you could have asked for.
I’m giving you permission to treat your body well, and in fact, to make it a priority! I know your taking care of yourself on the inside, take care of yourself on the outside as well. As far back as Biblical times people knew that spa treatments enhance and awaken a woman’s feminine power. Take time to pamper and prioritize yourself and your well being. The real key to manifesting is giving yourself permission to be you, so take a moment today to love and celebrate yourself! As a Miami life coach I am dedicated to guiding you along to true health and wellness.
I sort of despise goals, though I do love a result. I could always see the big picture, I just couldn’t figure out how to track back from the finish line to narrow down what action to take today to get there. So naturally, I’d give up. Then I learned a new way + it worked. It doesn’t require beating yourself into submission – hooray! In fact, it’s practical + manageable. Wanna come sit in my living room, eat snacks + learn to set + secure goals that build your confidence at the same time? Then let’s schedule your first free life coaching session.
Are you healing from the loss of a relationship? If you are…Life coaching in Portland can help. Write a letter to the person who has hurt you, left you, or betrayed you. Write as quickly as you can. Do not think about what you are writing. Let all of your feelings come up. When you are done, put it in a safe place where no one can find it. Now, do it again. And again. And again. Write until there is nothing left to say, positive or negative. Now, take all of your letters, bundle them together, and burn them. If that is impractical, tearing them up in tiny, tiny bits will have the same effect.
