At McArdle Ramerman, most of the coaching we provide falls into the categories of executive, leadership and business coaching. That said, coaching specializations often affect each other and just as often need to be integrated. This is particularly true of executive leadership coaching. The executive’s leadership development is closely linked to business results, life issues, career development and performance issues. Here are some of the places that your interactions with coaches might take you:

Executive

Executive coaching is what it says: coaching the people who lead organizations. The focus of the coaching for each executive is determined by an initial agreement and the needs that evolve as the coaching relationship progresses. The coach ensures an appropriate focus for the coaching process. At the same time s/he remains flexible while holding the client responsible and accountable for changing behavior and achieving results.

Leadership

Leadership coaching assists the leader in developing specific leadership skills. It enhances individual effectiveness and ultimately secures organizational performance.

Business

Business coaching assists the individual in achieving expansion and growing business results for the organization.

Life

Life coaching assists individuals to gain clarity of their lives' goals. IT then supports them in making the behavioral changes needed to achieve those goals while creating or maintaining a uniquely balanced life. Areas to address often include relationships, health and finances.

Career

Career coaching assists individuals seeking to modify or enhance their career path. In our work here at McArdle Ramerman Inc., we put a core emphasis on aligning the career path with each individual’s Most Natural Talent.

Performance

Performance coaching helps people wanting to enhance performance through skill development and behavior change. Goals might include achieving a desired level of high performance or close a performance gap.

Other niches
Some coaches specialize in any one of these areas as well as a range of other niches, including: sports, publishing, wealth management, retirement, ownership succession, etc.
