Creating the Uber Executive Coach

The purpose of this study was to determine if
superior level executive coaches used the same
techniques, skills, and protocol stages, analyze the
collected data, and develop a validated competency
skill set for executive coaches. A mixed-method
design was used with a superior practitioner panel (n
= 40) who validated 69 executive coaching skills,
techniques, and protocol stages. The data resulted in
an 11-item executive coaching core competency skills
set cluster; impact and influence, developing others,
interpersonal understanding, self-confidence,
self-control, professional expertise, customer
service orientation, conceptual thinking,
flexibility, and directness/ assertiveness, with an
overall consensus of 98.5 percent. Additionally, a
13-stage protocol evolved and was validated. Stages
included the following: coaching contract, prepare
for session, ensure client buy-in and agreement,
preliminary interview, develop rapport, develop trust
and confidentiality, identify coachable issue, meet
with supervisor, monitor client s progress,
assessment, feedback, joint goal setting, and
co-develop action plan.
