10 Corporate Executives Turned Executive Coaches

From Executive to Executive Coach

I recently published two articles that got lots of attention and appreciation. In the first one, I shared how business leaders can transition to becoming executive coaches. The second was about the seven critical success factors that, based on my research, can make this transition a huge success.

Because of these two articles, I got over 10 thousand subscribers to my newsletter and dozens of questions for me to address. One of the most common questions was about providing real-life examples of those business executives who made these successful transitions.

Do you, too, want to know about those corporate executives who took the leap and used this transition to make a fortune for themselves? In my 20 years as a Leadership Coach, I have witnessed dozens of executives taking the leap and making it to the top of the coaching industry.

According to my research, here are the ten best examples for you to reflect on. All these ten corporate executives have successfully transitioned to become executive coaches.

They are all tied in a common thread. They all share a passion for leadership development and a commitment to helping others become all they possibly can.
