You might have questions before making this investment in yourself and your business, or perhaps you haven't found the right fit that can help you achieve your goals.?

No matter where you stand, understanding how executive coaching can help you reach your fullest potential is critical to becoming the impactful, proactive leader your company deserves.?

To help you make an informed decision, here are our top 10 frequently asked questions about executive coaching, including how our proven framework can help you free up 12+ hours every week.

1. Is executive coaching right for me?

Each engagement is customized to quickly equip you with the tools and strategies necessary to make immediate and lasting changes toward reaching your fullest potential.

2. How does executive coaching work?

Our executive coaching process is built around developing three Superpowers every leader needs to achieve true greatness: Leverage, Intent, and Fellowship.?

This methodology helps you radically change how you work with an assistant, focus deeply on your highest-impact tasks, and invest time in success-driving relationships.?

Each coaching engagement is designed to provide pragmatic tools and strategies that can be implemented immediately, ensuring measurable improvements in your productivity, leadership effectiveness, and work-life balance.?

3. What makes Mindmaven's executive coaching unique?

We've developed over 87 unique playbooks that have helped leaders from companies like Reddit, Roblox, and Thumbtack maximize their productivity and reach their fullest potential.?

Our proven methodology combines weekly executive coaching sessions for you with unlimited hours of training for your Executive Assistant (EA).?

We've revolutionized the role of an EA to create an invaluable partnership that offloads administrative tasks, scheduling, and other time-consuming activities that aren't the absolute best use of your time.?

Don't have an EA yet? No problem. Our recruiting services can match you up with a rockstar EA in as little as 10 days. (More on this in question 5!)

Our focus is on helping you leverage the true potential of an EA to directly impact your company's velocity by allowing you to invest in high-impact activities that drive your businesses forward.

4. What kind of results can I expect from executive coaching?

At Mindmaven, we understand time is your most valuable (and scarce) resource. That's why our services are designed to help you regain control of your schedule by freeing up 12+ hours every week.?

We achieve this by fundamentally changing how you work with an EA and helping you leverage support resources to maximize your productivity and overall effectiveness.

With our pragmatic tools and actionable strategies, you will begin to lead with intention and not out of reactivity, focusing your time on high-impact tasks that truly move the needle.

Our clients have reported more predictable days, less stress, and stronger professional relationships – which ultimately contribute to a more fulfilling and successful career.

5. Do you provide the EA?

No, we believe that the best working relationships are developed with people you hire and pay directly.?

An EA is someone you should look to work very closely with for a minimum of 8 years – somebody who's willing to follow you through various career steps. That depth of commitment can only succeed if the working relationship is direct.

However, we can help you find and hire a rockstar EA. You can learn more about our EA recruiting services here.

6. Can you train my EA alone, without my involvement?

Not really, primarily because it doesn't make sense.?

Our executive coaching program is heavily habit-based, and, in our experience, the biggest risk of execution isn't the EA. It's the manager who is not succeeding in developing those habits that can change their career trajectory.

Working with an EA and getting the most out of this strategic partnership requires fundamental shifts in the way you operate as an executive, and those changes often don't come naturally.?

You could hire the most qualified, high-caliber EA out there … But if that relationship isn't built right, you'll miss out on tremendous value.?

7. Is Mindmaven suitable for individuals or teams?

Mindmaven caters to both individuals and teams.?

Whether you're seeking personal productivity improvements to live a more fulfilling life or aiming to streamline your operations, enhance collaboration, and boost productivity across your team, we have you covered.?

Our executive coaching is tailored to provide pragmatic solutions that address your specific needs and help you achieve your goals.?

8. How much time will I have to invest each week?

Although every 50-minute executive coaching session ends with action items and habits, you'll find that it often doesn't add additional work to your plate.?

Instead, we'll ask that you take things you're already doing and do them differently.

9. How long will I work with Mindmaven?

Our typical engagement period runs for about six months, allowing time for leaders to see significant improvements and benefits.?

While our minimum engagement is three months, allowing you to experience the impact of our coaching in a shorter timeframe, many of our clients choose to continue working with us for much longer periods due to the ongoing value and results they receive.?

This flexible approach ensures that you can tailor the coaching duration to fit your specific needs and goals while quickly equipping you with the tools and strategies necessary to make immediate and lasting changes.

10. Am I locked into a long-term contract?

No, you're not locked into a long-term contract with Mindmaven. Our contracts are designed to be flexible and are on a month-to-month basis.?

This means if, for any reason, you're not completely satisfied with your coaching experience, you have the freedom to cancel by the end of the month.?

This approach ensures that you always feel in control and confident in your commitment to our services.
