For the busy executive who manages complexity and needs to schedule time to think clearly and continually clarify personal and professional objectives, this is an intense one-on-one developmental experience for the mid-to-senior-level executive wishing to enhance his or her sales, image, leadership, management and career capabilities.

Author Christine Turner conducted a research study of executives who were working with coaches to learn the benefits, limitations and success factors, and she isolated some real-life examples of how coaching influenced executives' business skills. The five significant benefits of executive coaching Turner gleaned from her research are:

• Continuous one-on-one attention
• Expanded thinking through dialogue with a curious outsider
• Self-awareness, including blind spots
• Personal accountability for development
• Just-in-time learning

This is done well when one has strong:

• Methodology: a clear process outline
• Continuity: build on momentum and review from previous sessions
• Language: using words or terms that are found in a business environment
• Measuring results: qualitative results for quantitatively focused executives
