Hi Amal,

Good evening. Firstly, you profile picture is good. In my opinion, any kind of coaching will help to improve yours negative side which generally everyone's deny. Business coaching mean to coach the business owner to creating a successful business through guidance, support, accountability and  encouragement. Executive coaching means to coach executive to develop leadership skill of high potential individuals, to improve the odds that newly prompted managers would be successful, to develop management and leadership skills among their technical people, to correct behavioral problem at the management level, to help leaders resolve interpersonal conflict among employees. It usually consist mentoring, consulting, therapy and coaching to executive people. The objective of the both coaching is same only target audience is different.

So, what’s the difference between an Executive Coach and a Business Coach?

As an Executive Coach, I am hired by corporations to coach their Directors, Vice Presidents, Managing Directors, or other senior leaders. Of course these corporations want to see a return on investment for the coaching. Obviously an attractive ROI will only be achieved when the coaching results in improved business performance.

However, I never work with my clients on business performance directly, at least not as the top priority. This would be the arena of the Business Coaches. A Business Coach will most likely focus on strategy, financial results, or the like. Often a business coaching client expects the coach to have expertise in their particular industry.

For my clients it is important that I have corporate experience, that I have been in the coachee’s shoes so to say. An understanding of their specific business may be a nice add-on, but it is not required. The reason is that I focus on personal development rather than on business results. As an Executive Coach I facilitate change in the coachee’s behavior. This behavioral change often involves personal effectiveness as well as interaction with others.

Ultimately these changes will lead to improved individual performance, improved team performance, and, as a consequence, to improved organizational performance. In summary, executive coaching is expected to deliver better business results just like business coaching; the executive coaching approach however is more indirect than in business coaching. Executive Coaching focuses on people and their development. Better business results will follow."

Both involve a one-on-one relationship between you and a trusted advisor in a setting of confidentiality, personal development, and collegial respect. Commonly the same person may serve as your coach and mentor.

As a result, what many companies call "coaching," others call "mentoring." Even some coaches use the terms interchangeably. Still, coaching and mentoring are each distinctive approaches to executive and leadership development.
