Executive health coaching or executive coaching? The difference

Executive coaching works on the role. Executive health coaching works on the person carrying it. Here is how to choose.

Both have "executive coaching" in the name. They solve different problems.

Executive coaching

Focuses on the role: strategy, communication, leadership style, managing a board. Useful when the job is the problem.

Executive health coaching

Focuses on the person doing the job: energy, fitness, sleep, stress and the habits that hold up under pressure. Useful when the job is fine but you are wearing down. More in Executive health coaching: what it is and who it is for.

How to tell which you need

- If your calendar is the issue, start with executive coaching. - If your body and energy are the issue, start with health. - If you cannot tell, it is usually health. Strategy gets easier with a rested brain.

Some leaders do both. They work well together.
