Let's ask the question that’s been whispered in boardrooms and sidestepped in leadership circles: Why do so many executives avoid executive coaching?

For some, it’s the fear of vulnerability—admitting they don’t have all the answers. For others, it’s the misconception that coaching is only for struggling leaders, not top performers. And let’s not forget the pressure to appear confident, competent, and in control. Afterall, you've made it to the corner office, so by default, you're already a master of the leadership craft. There's no need for a coach here.

But here’s the truth: even the world’s greatest leaders—those who have built empires, transformed industries, and shaped the future—know that growth never stops. Coaching isn’t about fixing flaws; it’s about sharpening strengths. So why does resistance persist?

Based on the book, “Accelerating Leadership,” co-authored by Eric Hicks, PhD, PCC, and Lance Hazard, PCC, CPCC, we are discussing six specific values that executive coaching brings to leaders enhancing their success and abilities.

Join Rich and Maikel as we explore the reasons why, as a leader, executive coaching should be a priority in your career on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
