Leadership Coaching
Are you here to answer the question "What is Leadership Coaching?"
A leadership coach is the facilitator of a deep, personal dialog with the client. The coach will pose questions, point out nuances and shifts in a client’s tone, and uncover blindspots the client may not be aware of that are contributing to the issue the client is trying to address. Coaching is very personal.

It's not therapy, it's not mentoring.
However, some coaching sessions do feel therapeutic; from all sessions, the client walks away with new ideas and strategies for addressing professional issues.
All NCISC coaches are trained and hold a coaching certificate.
Who are coaches for?
The co-active coaching model that NCISC employs is a partnership between the client and the coach to stretch the client, accompany them out of their comfort zone and to help them grow both professionally and personally. Coaching illuminates a client’s aspirations, enhances their relationships, empowers them as leaders and ultimately elevates their potential.
