Executive coaching is a process of facilitation, detailed and clearly documented, that creates positive change in business behavior. An executive coach is an expert facilitator who works one-on-one, meeting frequently with an executive or senior manager to create positive changes in business behavior within a fixed time frame. The Sherpa process for coaching is a detailed, open-source set of practices and standards that directs the activities of an executive coach. This process creates the only comprehensive rational / technical foundation for the coaching profession. The Sherpa Coaching certification is designed to bring process, clarity and competence to executive coaching.
