How to engage with an executive recovery coach

Engaging with an executive recovery coach can be a valuable step for executives in recovery. Here are some steps to help you get started:

1. Research and find a coach: Start by researching different executive recovery coaches and evaluating their credentials, experience, and approach. Look for a coach who has experience working with executives in recovery and who you feel comfortable with.

2. Schedule a consultation: Most executive recovery coaches offer a free consultation or initial meeting. This is a good opportunity for you to discuss your goals and needs with the coach and get a feel for their coaching style.

3. Set clear goals: Before starting coaching sessions, take the time to clarify your goals and what you hope to achieve through coaching. Share these goals with your coach so they can help you develop a plan to reach them.

4. Be open and honest: Executive recovery coaching requires openness and honesty. Be willing to share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings with your coach, even if they are difficult to talk about. This will help the coaching process be more effective.

5. Be committed: Coaching can be a valuable investment in your recovery and professional growth, but it requires commitment and effort on your part. Be prepared to put in the time and energy to make the most of your coaching sessions.

6. Follow through on action items: Your coach will likely provide you with action items or homework to complete between coaching sessions. Follow through on these items to get the most out of your coaching experience.

In conclusion, engaging with an executive recovery coach can be a valuable step for executives in recovery. Start by researching and finding a coach, scheduling a consultation, setting clear goals, being open and honest, being committed, and following through on action items to make the most of your coaching experience.
