An insight into executive coaching at LemonGrass Coaching<\/h2>\n

In the final conversation of this executive coaching process in mid-2025, the client, director at a non-profit organisation, gave such beautiful words to what the process had delivered, that as a coach I put aside my own discomfort and asked if she wanted to look back with me in an interview form. With the aim of giving others an idea about (executive) coaching, what to expect and what does it deliver? She was happy to do so. Below is the summary - courtesy of Copilot - of course with the consent of the client involved.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A director of a non-profit organisation shares her experience of an executive coaching programme that helped her make career choices and find balance in her work.<\/p>\n

The course offered her insights, practical tips and a new perspective on her professional future.<\/p>\n

- Motivation for coaching: The director felt unease about her career and wanted to make a careful assessment about staying or leaving, failing to reach a decision herself.<\/p>\n

- Choosing LemonGrass Coaching: She chose LemonGrass because of a recommendation and the coach's psychological background, which gave her confidence. She also referred colleagues in the meantime.<\/p>\n

- Experience of the coaching process: d<\/strong>he coaching started with discomfort, but grew into a supportive and stimulating experience in which difficult questions were asked respectfully and she felt heard. Space was created for self-reflection and gentleness towards herself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

- Practical results: She concretely applied smarter working practices, such as reducing meeting time, and explored different career scenarios, which gave her peace of mind and confidence to approach her future from multiple options.<\/p>\n
