leadership coach

Management skill developer

A leadership coach is a professional who helps executives, managers, and aspiring leaders develop their skills and effectiveness.

Unlike consultants who provide solutions, coaches work through dialogue and reflection to help clients identify their own strengths, blind spots, and growth areas: She hired a leadership coach after her promotion to VP.

The practice blends elements of mentoring, psychology, and business strategy.
