What Is An Executive Coach and How Can They Help?
An executive coach is a person who specializes in developing executives to optimize their leadership performance and manage more effectively. Executive coaching is a series of interactions between a manager or executive and an external coach, to equip people with knowledge and opportunities to become more effective.

I am Wai K Leong, a Master Certified Coach with over 30 years of leadership and senior management experience. I help leaders of organizations improve their capabilities through coaching and skills training. Executive coaching utilizes a wide variety of behavior techniques and methods to help clients improve their professional performance, personal satisfaction, and the effectiveness of the client’s organization.
Executive coaching is a partnership with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching is a client driven process distinct from counseling, mentoring, consulting, and training. It is a relationship built upon trust, ensuring client privacy and confidentiality.
Executive coaching is a learning approach which creates self-awareness, helps drive transformational change, and provides critical challenge and support. It focuses on work issues, and a good executive coach is a learning specialist. My core strengths include positivity and patience, enabling my client space to gain new insights regarding their personal strengths and capabilities. Executive coaching can help increase leadership effectiveness, productivity, job performance, and well-being. It is a valuable tool for management training and development.
The executive coach provides a structured and safe environment for the client to gain insights into their strengths and capabilities, set goals or objectives, build and maintain self-confidence and a positive attitude, transform their passion and effectiveness, and choose the best course of action when faced with great opportunities or difficult challenges. JMC has trained more than 10,000 leaders and managers on coaching skills; and has certified over 10% of those clients toward ICF credentials. We have published 3 best-selling books toward the growth of coaching in the region; and led that growth in Malaysia from 2005-2009 as ICF Chapter President.
Coaching helps leaders think differently and be innovative. The power of focused development enables the client to achieve more with what feels like less effort, to discover and develop their best attributes, and to make the greatest contribution with the highest satisfaction. Coaching can help you enhance leadership skills, improve relationships with colleagues, motivate and retain people, improve performance, become a better listener and public speaker, gain confidence, and manage conflicts, among many other positive improvements.
